Puzzled about LIST "" * behaviour
by Benoit Panizzon 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi there I'm preparing to copy emails from one dovecot to another dovecot server via imapsync. Now imapsync does not get the folder list. So I sniffed the connection and I am trying to reproduce via telnet. I do via different concurrent connections. . login user password . list "" * Now this is what completely puzzles me. sometimes I get the list of all folders, sometimes I only get the INBOX imapsync seems to only ever get the INBOX and no other folders. But I type in the very same commands! I have not yet figured out what sometimes causes me to get the full list and sometimes only a partial one. Is it some timing issue? Does it matter if the user is already logged in from another ip? Any hints welcome. -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

(Solved) Re: Upgrade path from MySQL to MariaDB broken? (Akonadi)
by Volker Wysk 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hello! I've found it out, how you can solve/work around the problem: Nextcloud needs MariaDB. It won't work (so it seems) with MySQL. So mariadb- server needs to be installed. This replaces MySQL (mysql-server-core-5.7 and mysql-client-core-5.7) with MariaDB. The problem is that after that, Akonadi won't start any longer. "aconadictl start" outputs a lot of messages. The problem can be repaired by doing this, after the installation of MariaDB: akonadictl stop rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi akonadictl start Bye, Volker

Not all package maintainers are as responsive as you are. I've lost count of the number of problems reported here, where people could not move from version 1.x, because their repo did not have anything newer, or for reason out of their control, they can't update because it would/could break something else. > There are downsides to compiling yourself. To be sure. (Incidentally, auto-updates are sometimes *not* what people want -- stability of a working system is paramount over anything that might jeopardize that.) Compiling from source is not everybody's cup of tea, but it does allow complete control over the build. Repo-packages usually are built with kitchen-sink options, which may not suit everyone.

On top of the usual mail set up problems (and it appears to be some SSL/STARTLS port number mismatch), setting up a iPhone/MacOSX mail client can be an exercise in frustration as cause and effect may not be synchronous. What can happen is that after setting up parameters, if they don't work (owing to misconfiguration or transient network problem), your mail client will start varying the mail parameters (port #, TLS/SSL parameters, with/without domain, etc.) in hopes of finding something that works. Sort of auto-discovery/auto-correction. All of a sudden, without apparent cause, it will bump into the right settings (which may co-incide with your original settings) and it will start working. Uber confusing. I believe if you disable the "Automatically manage connection" feature, it will make your settings fixed. This may not be the cause of your original problem, but at least you won't be trying to troubleshoot a moving target. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Or consider compiling it yourself from source. It may be more work, but you get complete control over your versioning, your package dependencies, etc. If a bug that affects you gets fixed on a bleeding edge version (or is only available as a patch), you can fix it right away rather than waiting for the package maintainer to catch up to it.
