What is the best way to physically backup one's gmail and hotmail inbox on ubuntu?I have tried Evolution but it does not seem to store locally the mail which it accesses through gmail. Is there anyway to have it store locally a backup?
View 3 RepliesI am running thunderbird in lucid (64 bits) and I manage two hotmail account from it. One of them is fetching messages twice, meanwhile the other one works fine...is it double space in hard disk? Each message is repeated and one of the couple is marked as unread (new)...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed ubuntu for the first time today, and setup Evolution to check my email from my hotmail account. All went fine, I downloaded all my emails from the last 7 years but then when I actually logged in to my email account on hotmail.com all of my messages were gone and my inbox empty. I was hoping that it would downlaod a copy of my messages - I still want a copy in my hotmail inbox for backup just in case something happens to my computer. Anyway, so my question is there a way to put them back into my hotmail account? I know its not as though I have lost them forever, I just would like the last 7 years of important emails on there in just in case.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently received an email from a friend without subject and just a link. Since we do that a lot, I clicked on it. I was taking to a website that looks like a phishing site and my computer hard drive started working feverishly. I closed it quickly.
First, I want you guys to be aware of this thing since it seems to be fairly new.
Second, I want to know if I have been compromised. I already changed the password on my gmail account and I accessed the site using Ubuntu and Firefox.
I have a lot of emails on hotmail and gmail that I want to store in text or html files on my local Fedora computer for future reference. Is there a way I can download them to my hard drive without doing it one email at a time with the browser's Save Page As feature or some such thing? There has to (?) be a better way.
Every mail program should have an easy-to-use 'mass' export-to-text-file feature so that people are not held hostage to a particular email service or program. The lack of such a feature in email programs I've used is one of my pet peeves. It seems rather tyrannical and abusive. (Now before someone tells me it's a free service, please remember all the advertisements I have to go through to use the service). I do not have an email account through an ISP. I live with my landlord who deals with the ISP. I only use hotmail and gmail (and, rarely, yahoo).
I use kmail for fetching and sending mails from my gmail account. The inbox stuffs are saved in ~/.kde/share/ apps/kmail/mail/inbox . It is not saved in encrypted form. One can open it with any editor. Is there a way to make kmail save those fetched messages in encrypted form and when I open the kmail it will show me those mails in decrypted form?

When I acquired the company its email was hosted by sina.com as its in China. It was being run under a windows server and had issues sending & receiving.
I moved it to a linux server system in Hong Kong that has a US co-host site in Chicago area thinking its got to better than whats running in China.
We are still having problems sending emails to hotmail, yahoo and gmail.

OS = OPENSUSE 11.3 server installation - NO GUI....
use any browser and go to gmail. i can't get gmail to load. if i browse on videos, links to videos don't work. they appear to be taking a long time to buffer, then a message appears saying to try again. sometimes, links on google search pages are all dead. yahoo mail loads as far as logging me in, then i get a page with all dead links.
i'm using a laptop at several locations that have free public wifi. at some places, everything works perfectly normally. at other places, google and yahoo are almost useless. the "bad" places work just fine under ms windows.
so i figure it's a networking/handshaking issue, but that's all i can figure. i need help to troubleshoot it further. if it's happening to me, it has to be happening to other people, and i consider it a major hassle.
My college internet providers shifted to a different setting.. defined in the changing lan proxy settings on the user end. I.e.ip - 192.168.0.200 and port to 3000. This to reduce misuse of the net connection ..The thing is, since then, every other website is working, except GMail. It isnt blocked, the Nebero page shows up for blocked sites. When attempting to open gmail, the default internet page shows up for unavailability of page owing to no or slow response from the server, or the firewall or proxy settings not appropriately configured. I cannot open gmail, the connection on empathy im. I cant ping gmail either. No response. What can be the problem.

When I updated from 9.10 to 10.04, the only thing I noticed immediately was that the Application menu and the things next to (Similar to window's Start button). That's still gone.

I've used linux systems before, but the last time I actually set up a server was when fedora core 4 came out, which was, to say the least, quite a while ago. here's my core dilemma: atm, I have fedora 13 set up, and i'm looking to be able to vnc into it WITHOUT already having logged on as a user. I've tried various things and I'm having little to no luck. I uninstalled tigervnc and installed the original vnc package (With server) from realvnc.com. I've also installed xinetd and tried to get it to incorporate vncserver as a startup service, to no avail.
I have not been able to connect to the vncserver regardless of how I try. I AM able to connect to the base remote desktop functionality provided by fedora (Also vnc based). However, as soon as I disable that, I am not able to vnc into it at all. Long story short, here are the current goals:
1) be able to vnc into the computer without having logged into the system physically
2) have those logins be un / passworded. i.e., be able to login as whatever user
3) complete disable the normal graphical startup that fedora provides, since I don't think there's ever going to be a person physically at the computer and I'd like to maximize system resources
Also, if VNC is NOT the easiest way to do something like this, please let me know, I'm completely amenable to taking another route. In short, I'd like non-physical per-user graphical access to the server. I'd also like it to be more than one single vnc session, as I may have it open from either multiple locations or multiple users.
I'm new to the Linux OS, and this is also my first post on this form. My question is Can you physically adjust the position of the dashboard? I'm familiar with Mac OS X where you could "Physically" adjust to the top, left, right or originally at the bottom. Is it possible and if it is, can someone explain to me the process on going about that?

I am using Fedora Core 15. The only hardware that changed is I swapped out my cordless usb mouse for a corded one because I left the dongle at home. How I can I troubleshoot the problem and get my computer up and running again?
my server is still running on 10.3 and I want to upgrade it to 11.3. I can't access it physically so it has to be an online upgrade. I have already learned that it is possible to upgrade from 11.x to 11.3 using Zypper from this nice german tutorial (Upgrade). But does it also work from 10.3? Should I upgrade all at once or every single version for itself?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had an aftermarket cpu cooler, and one of the mounts broke, causing poor contact with the cpu and the system hung. I've been running the system through paces after replacing the cooler and everything seems fine. I have two disks, one had muliple distros installed and the first one had one slackware installation. I decided a good test would be to reinstall an OS and since I wasn't booting into the old slackware install I decided to reformat the entire first disk which contained lilo and reinstall a newer version of slack. I had repeated boot failures, I've reinstalled, obtained a new ISO and reburned, I've installed Ubuntu and GRUB..Nothing I do will yield a successful boot off the first disk, although no live cd or install has given any errors and the installs on the second disk boot fine. I'm confused as to what is causing this.
Is it possible that the disk itself is damaged somehow even though checking for bad blocks, reformatting, repartitioning,etc show no errors, and a boot loader works fine from the disk, or is it more likely that something is maybe wrong with the motherboard?
I'm trying to determine how to limit a specific user so that they are confined within their home. I'm also trying to figure out how to prevent a specific user from walking up to the computer and allowing them to log in, but still allow SSH.

My problem is that the audio went out a couple of days ago and I don't know WHY it went out, no audio, and HOW to get it back on. I tried several command line methods that didn't work, probably because they didn't completely relate to the problem with me being a Linux beginner and all. When I manually turn the knob on the speaker up, I can hear noise to where the speakers sound like they're physically operational, but with no output or input.
