I don't know what to do but while configuring and after searching I found that Hotmail is using MAPI but I don't know its config !! what is the config ?

I'm trying to use gwibber 3.0 in Debian SID for the first time but I can't add accounts. I can perform all the steps but the new account never appears in the account list. I've tried debugging the problem but I don't know much about python apps. It seems that some files didn't get compiled (*.pyc) after installation so when running gwibber it tried to compile them without success. I've run it as root so that they got compiled it but it's still the same, no surprise here.
Someone has reported a bug for this issue but no response so far: url
I need to install a Linux distribution at work and I'd like to give Debian a try (I've been using Gentoo for years at home). But as it's a Windows environment, I'm currently trying to see how Debian could cope with that, meaning how to register to LDAP (I found this: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/battista/do ... index.html), get mails from MS Exchange, I saw that for other distributions, they were talking about evolution-mapi to achieve the mail retrieval from MS Exchange, but I saw that the package is not part of Debian Squeeze.Did I see correctly (sorry, Debian noob here )?Is there an alternative?

Installation went OK, then I tried to setup the account in Evolution. I chose :
server type: Exchange MAPI
server: mailserver.corporatedomain.com
username: my.username
Domain name: corporatedomain.com
Of course, the names of server, domain and my username are different in reality, however, I entered them in the same format as written here. The communication with mailserver is on corporate internal LAN - no routers or firewalls between. When I click "Autheticate" it prompts me for password, I put in the correct password but I get the error: Authentication failed. MapiLogonProvider:MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED
I tried to put in the IP address of the mailserver instead of its network name, tried to put in the IP of the domain controller, enter the domain name in uppercase, all sorts of combinations but nothing works.
is there a way to get authenitcated??? I googled far and wide, but did not find the cause for Here is the output from evolution when started in gnome-terminal:

After months of consideration I finally decided to replace TheBat with Thunderbird 3.1 but I did not get far as I cannot even add an account.I have some gmail accounts and whey I try to add them, Thunderbird greenlights Incoming and outgoing servers, but then it circles endlessly at username. It happens with all my gmail accounts (IMAP is enabled).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have an ftp server setup using Ubuntu 10.04 and pureftpd with mysql as the backend. All the ftp users are "virual users" that are stored in mysql. I want my existing users to be able to use scp to transfer files instead of ftp. As far as I know, you can only use ssh/scp if you have a system account. All of my virtual users use the same system account of "ftpuser".
Is it even possible for me to setup the users with scp access, even though they don't have an actual system account? I really don't want to setup system accounts for each user. I have a lot of ftp users and I plan on expanding that number, so adding system accounts isn't ideal, plus I feel like that will bring new security issues (researching chroot for ssh and how to lock down ssh).
I'm installing a new laptop for a friend of mine and he wants 3 user accounts, similair to how he runs his windows setup.
1, an admin account, we have called this account peacemaker.
2. his account
3. an account for his girlfriend.
The problem we have is that if we want to do anything from the terminal that requires elevated priviledges, sudo does not accept his password or that of peacemakers. we have done sudo -i -u peacemaker but it still doesn't accept either password, stating his account is not in the sudoers list.
I'm not a massive expert here, but research brought me to this page:[URL]... But that then just means his account has admin rights, which is what we were trying to avoid. We wanted a setup similair to windows where if you want to run someting with elevated privledges if pops up asking for the admin password. This works in the gui, but not in the terminal.
So in short, my question is, is there anyway of having the terminal accept peacemakers user rights from the his normal user account? If I add the account to the sudoers list like it suggests, does this again just give his account the prilvedges rather than saying supply me with the password for peacemaker.
this is probably not really needed and he can just have his account as the main user, but coming from a windows background, he would prefer the 3 user accounts model (2 normal users, 1 admin)
is there a way to transfer over data from one account to another? I made a new account for my roommate but since we share the same data is there a way to transfer that over?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI googled for a while without finding anything about this, so i created an account to make sure that others after me get an actual hit when searching for an answer.I have 13 email accounts in Thunderbird for work-related stuff. Thunderbird by default just adds accounts in a top-down manner without sorting of any kind, not even alphabetically. For most users this is not an issue, but for me and other powerusers who have multiple accounts with an uncountable amount of subfolders it soon becomes a nuisance to have your latest added mailbox all the way down when you actually check it quite often.
Why Mozilla havent included a simple drag'n'drop feature or similar for this is beyond me, but here is how you do it.For example if i wanted my latest added account - which is placed all the way at the bottom by default - to instead be placed at the top of the list, i just delete "account4" from the end of the line, and insert it at the front. Make sure that there is no trailing comma and no whitespaces anywhere.There we go. I hope someone finds this useful, a bunch of my colleagues sure did.
I have upgraded to Lucid, but was having the same issues on Karmic. I made a 2nd user acct we'll call X and we'll call the original acct Y. All of these issues only happened after creating X.
On X I have: sound Things wrong with X: I don't have the ability to modify any folders (even ones that are made from X's acct), I can't change the password or even access the Users and Groups, I can't modify any browser settings in Firefox but can on Chromium, the option for wireless is completely gone
On Y I have: the ability to access users and groups, the ability to modify all folders on either acct, the ability to change any settings on anything Things wrong with Y: no sound (doesn't even show the driver, but the driver is there on X's acct), wireless is completely gone (just like X's acct), even though I can access Users and Groups I cannot modify anything about X's acct
My first thought was to completely delete X since that's when all the problems began, but I'm afraid that since X seems to have "stolen" my sound card, that will be lost forever. I am also afraid that since neither account has wireless deleting X might hinder ever getting it back.
All my email accounts are internet based. I have quite a few:
2 Gmail accounts - my main one and a more formal one for job searches and resume stuff.
1 Yahoo account for everything else so most spam will go there.
1 University account that I have to use while taking a masters degree program
1 AOL account - a holdout from a long time ago that I hardly ever check.
What would be my reason for using a computer based email system like Evolution or Thunderbird? Could I combine all this accounts to one place? Would I want to? I don't have a job right now so I don't have a work email. I thought it would me nice if I could somehow go to one place to see all these email accounts. I will check it out on my own but I thought I would ask the forum for some wisdom.
I'm trying to set up Empathy to connect to my Ekiga account, so I don't have to have two programs running side by side, but I'm running into some trouble.
In the window for adding accounts in Empathy, there's a drop-down menu for choosing the desired protocol and service. I hear there's supposed to be en "Ekiga" menu option there, but there isn't.
I'm running Empathy 2.30.2 in Lucid.
I have two user accounts. "xubuntu", an admin, and "theseconduser", with regular desktop permissions
Neither of them are in the group "audio"
I auto-log into my admin account and no sound is present. I try various solutions found through google (listed below) and through troubleshooting find "theseconduser", another account, being able to to use sound.
I've tried the switch from pulseaudio to alsa; it made both accounts unable to use the sound card, so I reverted
I haven't included any CLI output here since I'm not exactly sure what to post / whether I should post it. Feel free to ask away.
I'm able to alter settings etc through Mixer; I have 4 available options in the "Sound card" dropdown there.
how to get sound back into this account!

Is there a way to automatically set the wireless settings for all of the accounts on the system? If I change the encryption key, DNS settings etc, I like for them to be global and not have to have the other users (my kids) have to change settings (or bypass settings).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am unable to join a W2K or XP machine to a Samba PDC. I have tried to make this work on both 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS without success. Everything else works but I cannot add machine accounts "on the fly" using the "add machine script" as provided in the server guide. I have been able to make it work by enabling the root user but not as a user with admin privileges and sudo in the script. Despite multiple attempts including a new 10.04 install and following the instructions (in the 9.10 server guide) to the letter. Does anyone out there have a samba PDC actually running on Ubuntu and able to add machines on the fly without enabling the root account (i.e using SUDO in the script and a user from the admin group)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently purchased a laptop so I've been focusing on getting my data synchronized between my laptop and PC. The problem is as follows, I have 8+ email accounts and I prefer to have them all in 1 single map tree instead of a separate tree for every one of them. This means IMAP is out of the question, so I've been thinking about a few things but I'm not too sure if there's anything out there for some of these things.
Option 1 - Unison Synchronization
Using Unison to synchronize the Thunderbird profiles, problem is Thunderbird can't be running on both machines
Option 2 - IMAP mail hub for all accounts
Somehow turn my server into a mail hub that gets email for all my accounts, and serve them through IMAP somehow, only problem that might be is that reply-to won't send a mail back with the same mail address people mailed to (Don't know that for sure).
Option 3 - POP3 mail hub
Same as option 2 but with a central POP3 hub that will keep all mails forever, should be doable.
Not viable option - Turn off mail deletion on server. This ain't viable because this will either cause some of the mail servers to clog up, especially if I were to only turn deletion on on 1 pc. So it seems the POP3 hub is best, and then just let that delete everything off of the remote servers, is this possible, I've tried setting up a mail daemon before but failed miserably (But will try again if it will make this possible).
Is it possible to install Ubuntu Server and have user accounts and log into the server via a Windows XP machine? Sorry if its a stupid question! Many thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop (A665).
I recently created a "guest" account.
I would like that the computer asks me, at start-up, with which account I would like to log in. Instead, it always logs in with my own account (admin) without asking any password, even if I checked the box that enables the password check at start-up.
Then after 60 seconds max it asks for password at last!
Is there a way to choose, at the beginning, which user account should log in?
I am setting up the laptop for the family to use. I have my own user account, which is all set up nice and pretty. I need to make 3 new accounts for the rest of the family. Since my user account is all set up, I am hoping there is a way to copy this account's configuration (customized theme, compiz settings, edited menus, installed applications ie awn, etc...) to a new account.
