Re: Collaboration replacement via Toltec/Bynari (was How many people to admin a Cyrus system?)

Hi Rob and all

I have been considering doing this in my environment. From the user perspective having to launch messages that should be automatically processed (like read acks and task/appointment updates) confuses them a little.

I don't know if it is worth it for acks though as this only displays in the original outbound messages if you leave it in the PST sent box. We move sent items to the IMAP store with a rule, as well as manually file into a "public folder" system for group visibility.

I think though that with this method any ack/update mails will still appear in the "IMAP" Inbox as unread. It almost makes me want to rewrite the mail header at postfix time (or use a sieve rule) and maintain a separate POP mailbox for the purpose...

Cheers Bob

I do have a hacky workaround suggestion which might work.

1. Display all folders including INBOX
2. Setup a "dummy" POP account that points to the same cyrus server
3. Make sure the "leave on server" option is set
4. Setup a filter rule in Outlook to just delete all the POPed email

Then emails arriving in the IMAP inbox will appear as normal, but they'll 
also be POPed regularly and processed by the Outlook transport mechansim. 
Unfortunately this solution wont currently work because (1) is impossible in 
Toltec at the moment.
