Deafult mail folders for new users

Postby jprangi » Thu May 31, 2007 11:26 am

Hello Scalix lovers,

1. When I create a new scalix account it creates some default folders like
Inbox, Sent Items, Trash, Junk E-Mail etc. Where does scalix read the list of default folders that needs to be created for every new user. How can I modify that list.
For example I want every user to have Spam_Sure and Spam_Maybe folders along with the default ones as soon as new account is created.
How can I achieve that?

2. Currently I am using postfix for mail server and .procmailrc (for each user) for mail filtering. The biggest benefit of that is that I can see in procmail log which folder the email is delivered. Example, one user (say John) come and tell me that why I did not receive the email with subject "Tests email" which was also cc'd to Ted and Ted received that email.
Now I can see in procmail log and tell him which folder that mail was delivered. This happens many time when the email does not got o Inbox, due to filtering or spam.

Now scalix also have a webbased mail filtering feature, is there any log for that like procmailrc where I can see the final destination folder of an email.

3. I have around 50 user which lots of emails (more than 50Gb). Some of them have more than 50 folders in their account. What can be the best way to convert those users from postfix to scalix. Is there any utility that can do this. Moving each user using imap client is not going to easy and fun.

Thank you,

-Jai

Hello Jay,

to 1:
we create our users in an external ldap and sync the users to the scalix server using crontab and omldapsync.

When we create the user it creates two rules with sxaa for the spam and spammy messages for the new user. The first time a message arrives which activates the rule the missing folder "spam" or "spammy" is created.

to 2:
When you configure the loglevel you can see how mails are sorted out in the audit.log - but you can't see to which folder they are moved.


to 3:
I heard of tool imap2imap in the Forum to move users from other systems to scalix but I don't know how good it works.
