Per,

Linux guru, AHAHAHHhahahahahahHAhH sorry but I know very very very little about linux, just enough to get me by

But I certainly am purplexed about IMAP notify not working right! I am just about to test out puttng all my users over to IMAP from POP3 and seeing if that helps out at all.

I doubt it but it cannt hurt to try it, also it allows me do backup everyone's emails all at once instead of doing manual copies of outlook express dbx files

.

But really I cannt see the difference between 5.5 and 5.6 in reguards to IMAP?

I might send this into bugs if no one heres got a clue.

Chyrus,

I found another notyfier here: http://www.softlookup.com/category/cat357.html There are many, i pickec one called Saberquest mail spy. Looks like it does the job but it's a pop3 agent. Let me know if you find something interesting as well.

Per,

Yeah but my users friggin like thier Genie or Wizard, trying to convince them to start using something else is a pain, yeah i have found heaps of ther programs that are similar, and one actually uses MS Agent, but it only appears for a few seconds and dissapears, I need it to stay on the screen, but am doing some testing with it for now.

I sent a bug request in to see what Mitel have to say, other than that I think we're boned!

Per,

Responce from bugs:

I'm afraid that we can't devote any time to an issue that may simply be
a bug in imapnotify. Besides which, we've abandoned uw-imap in 5.6 in
favour of dovecot in 6.0. I suggest you try imapnotify with 6.0b3.

So anyone use IMAP Notify with 6.0b3?

I tested it against a 6.0b3 with the latest updates, from the outside.

Hmm.. Would it be possible to change to dovecot in 5.6?
What do you think Cyrus?

POP3 notifiers will also do. They do miss the mails you sorted to subfolders using procmail, but personally I wouldn't let my users muck about with procmail so that shouldn't be an issue.

As for your suggestion to install dovecot, I'm sure it can be done (the upgrade scripts for SME 6beta do it...), but it seems like a lot of work to me, just to get some silly mail notifier working. You're probably better off just migrating your server to 6beta.

For one thing, the mailbox structure is different, so you would have to migrate each individual mailbox. The other thing is that dovecot won't just work out of the box, so you would have to do some studying to find out how to get it working. Again, I'm sure it can be done but I certainly wouldn't try it on a production machine.

I will just do that upgrade in the near future instead
