Hi,
Can whoever administers the SurgeMail Wiki please add some
security /
spam control...
I've just spent the last hour removing a swag of spam from
the site...
but the spammers seem
to be adding their junk back in as I delete some of if.
If you add me, wiki user Gavincameron, to the admin group
I'll be able
to revert pages and ban users
that have been defacing the wiki.
Cheers
Gavin

Have a client who's moving from Exchange Server
over to here. ; A new POP3 account has been created in their MS Outlook
software on each computer that points to our servers. It
works.
When they remove their old email account out
of their MS Outlook (that points to their MS Exchange Server), all their local
folders disappear. I've read in the Outlook Help that there needs to be a
.pst file created on the local computer.
The individual .pst files might be gigabytes... and
I really don't want that on our server. I want it on the client
computers. So, I really don't want to import into Webmail.
Does anyone know a good way to MOVE everything
that's on the Exchange Server over to the person's computer?
Their MS Exchange server had accounts named "administrator"
and NO PASSWORDS to login locally. It probably wouldn't be possible to
pull all the saved folders onto our server anyway... because they're on a
Comcast dynamic IP. They had been serving out their www and mx using one
of those Dyn DNS services... which wasn't working.

Barry,
There are programs available out there
that will create .pst files from the Exchange private information store. They
are often used for disaster recovery and would probably do what you need. ; Once
the .pst files are created someone would need to move them to each user’;s
workstation and attach them to the user’;s Outlook (read that as labor
intensive if you are talking about a bunch of them). Otherwise the user can
create their own local .pst and drag the messages down off of Exchange. That requires
a user competence level I don’t find too often (handled by the net
admin?). If there is no admin and the users are brain-dead, remote help is
possible...

What version of Outlook? Only the newest versions of Outlook support
.pst files over 2g in size.
Create a personal folder. You will have the opportunity to specify the
name of the folder as it appears in the folder list(I highly recommend
turning on folder view in Outlook, btw) and where that file is
created. Then just move that old email from Exchange to those local
folders. Sorry, I don't know of an automated way to do that.
Keep Outlook in Corporate mode, depending on the version. If you
change the 'mode' in some versions of Outlook, it changes the way it
stores email on the local computer.

Thanks, I'd not looked at it in a while.
I have disabled the wiki until I get a chance to add some
improved spam
control. It had already been setup in such a way that you
needed an account
to post, but it might be easiest to have have a group of
admins able to
approve the account creation process to prevent this kind of
mess.
It should be up again in a day or so.
