Software :: Using Fetchmail To Store In Files Only?
Jan 30, 2010
I need to transfer some email off of an IMAP server. But there will not be an MTA available to make the transfer to at the time I need to do it. I'm looking for an option to configure fetchmail so that it merely stores each piece of email into a separate file in a designated directory.
If it wants to make a complex path of more than one directory layer, that's OK. Or all the mail can be in one directory.
If a different program other than fetchmail would be better for this kind of purpose, that, too, is OK ... provided that program has the option to keep all mail on the IMAP server it fetches from.
I found this page to have the configuration of : but I have to adapt and get always errors. [URL] What are the minimum configurations so that one can do : echo test | mutt me and it sends it via msmtp and mutt one can read his emails using hte imap enabled on the account?
I have two students whose windows laptops are riddled with malware and not working properly. They want me to help them install Linux (which we use in school), but they are concerned about their iTunes.
Having avoided iPods as "defective by design", I know nothing about iTunes whatsoever. However I remember reading about DRM locking and such problems that have me concerned that I won't be able to do it.
Where does iTunes store its stuff?
Can I copy its data store to an external drive, and then into a linux home?
Then will it work on wine, or can another manager (rhythmbox etc) access the itunes data?
Alternatively, if I partition the drive and install linux, can rythmbox/wine/something access itunes data on the win partition?
Supposing they are buying music through iTunes, what will happen to that account?
Finally, one of them has an iphone. Does that work with linux?
Ironic that an apple application is blocking migration away from windows.
How is it possible to store and backup our files online? I don�t know that how this concept actually works. is there any kind of device needed while storing data at another location

Does anyone know where the files downloaded from the Ubuntu One Music Store are stored?They are not in the Music folder or anywhere else in my home folder that I can determine, yet Rhythmbox sees them. I noticed that in the Rhythmbox preferences I can no longer specify one specific folder as a watch folder (it defaults back to "Multiple Locations Set"). I'd like to transfer the files I bought to a flash drive, but cannot find them.
I work on several computers throughout the day or week and make extensive use of Dropbox to sync my files between them.
One of the things that bugged me, was that bash/ssh/screen and other settings weren't synchronised between those new computers. And that I had to go through the hassle of having to recreate all those files when using a new computer. So I decided to start using Dropbox for this as well.
Code: #!/bin/bash # This folder contains my personal prefferences that I want to be able everywhere # Basically, I keep my personal configuration for a few files stored on my Dropbox # and create symlinks to the required files
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer from Windows 7. Originally my Hard Drive was Split into two separate partitions. One was for the OS and the other was basically a storage drive. During the install of Ubuntu I deleted the OS Partition, Installed Ubuntu in that Partition, and used my Storage partition as a Swap.
After the install was complete Ubuntu loaded great and works just fine, the only issue is I can't find the other Partition where all my files were stored. Is there any way to locate this partition and access it as you would with Windows Computer>D:>etc or is there some other way to go about this?
I recently got a new laptop and I'm trying to figure out how to divide up its partitions. I was thinking that I would install Ubuntu on a relatively small partition and store all of my files on the NTFS parition, linking them back to Ubuntu.
What's a comfortable size for an Ubuntu parition?
Also, I've tested 64-bit Ubuntu and it doesn't seem to have any major problems. Though I might upgrade, I only have 4 GB of ram right now. Should I install 64- or 32- bit?
I'm using CentOS 5.5 with smbclient 3.0.33-3.28-el5 (latest version in repo), and I can't overwrite files in my Samba store. I am not the admin for the Windows server that hosts the share, so there isn't anything I can do server side. But I do have write permission to the server. I know the server runs Windows XP or Server 2003; I don't know which. I can delete the file, and then copy the new version over, but I can't overwrite it. Using the cp command I'll get this error:
[jonescb@localhost ~]$ cp foo.txt /mnt/si_storage/foo.txt cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/si_storage/foo.txt': No such file or directory`
And if I edit a file on the server using vim, I can save it once, but if I save it again I get this: "/mnt/si_storage/foo.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing This is my /etc/fstab entry for the samba server: //192.168.1.2/SI_STORAGE /mnt/si_storage cifs username=myuser,password=mypass 0 0 I can overwrite files just fine on my XP machine. The CentOS box is the only one having problems.
In what files/dirs in the home dir does xfce store the user config data?
Or if you like.
What files do I need to restore from backup in order to restore my xfce desktop with all the different settings I made?
Edit: All user config files is usually stored somewhere in /home/$USER/. And since all the programs, kde, xfce and gnome stores their config there, this question is about what files belong to the xfce desktop.
This is my guess of what files belong to the xfce desktop:
I am writing a script, in that my requirement is, if all the fill types stored in one directory from that we need to separate different different directories based on the file types.
for example in a directory(anish). 5 different types files 1- directory 2- .txt files 2- .sh files
like that and my requirement is the (1- directory is moved to one new directory(dir) which we are given in the script)and (2 .txt files are moved to another new directory(test) which we are given in the script)and ( 2 .sh files are moved to another new directory(bash) which we are given in the scrip)finally the directory anish should be empty..using bash script.how it is possible !!
I added a song to my basket and when I click Checkout....it just stays on this message "Connecting you to the Ubuntu One Music Store..." and does nothing.
Installed Ubuntu along with Debian on my Notebook and use Grub Manager to choose between them on startup. Since i like Debian now a lot (in past days it was a very hard system to handle, but there has been some progress i noticed), i have to change some things (want Debian as main system now) For Ubuntu i have: (was meant to be main system on Notebook) "/", "/home" and a "swap" partition, but since i am now going to use mainly Debian, i wanted to store my files all in the "/home"-folder of my extended Ubuntu partition (has much more space available) not in the "/home" folder of the Debian system. So i want both (Debian and Ubuntu) to use the same extended partition ("/home") which i created for Ubuntu to save their files like downloads, videos, and so on.

using these fetchmail and postfix for fetching mail and sending mail ...... Instead of using incoming and outgoing like smtp and pop3 in outlook , why we use fetchmail and postfix mail server in linux and forward this to local windows client Outlook ..
Fetchmail +sendmail played nice together, until I installed hylafax, and added an alias it requires. I just ran the usual makemap command on aliases to make aliases.db, and that's there the trouble began. Fetchmail appeared to hang, at any email account that had email in it, at the RCPT stage. I finally read the warning at the top of /etc/mail/aliases that says to run newaliases.
I use fedora 13 now. I want to try mutt, but I don't know how to make it work.so I search by Google, Then,I add a .fetchmailrc in my home directory as below:
