Create the Database

mysqladmin create zarafa
mysql -e "grant all privileges on zarafa.* to zarafa@localhost identified by 'yourpassword'"
mysql -e "flush privileges"

Other tasks

Change webaccess apache rights

chown -R www:www /var/www/html/webaccess/tmp

Configure Zarafa services and add links for auto start

config set zarafa-server service status enabled
config set zarafa-spooler service status enabled
config set zarafa-gateway service TCPPort 144 access private status enabled [optional, access public/private as required]
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-server
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-spooler
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-gateway [optional, and yes it can start before -server]

Configure Zarafa calendar scheduling. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNEF)

config setprop smtpd tnef2mime disabled
signal-event email-update

Start Zarafa services

/etc/init.d/zarafa-server start
/etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler start
/etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway start; signal-event remoteaccess-update [optional]

Create Zarafa public store

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -s

Assigning an administrator

When a user is an administrator, the user will be allowed to open all Zarafa stores of any user.

List users:

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -l

Update a user to admin status:

/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -u <username> -a 1

Usage

After implementing the .qmail fragment mail is sent to zarafa, and NOT the users ~\Maildir

Webmail

Access with browser for a local user

• http://serverip/zarafa

Windows Clients

• MS Outlook using zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz

IMAP

Configure your IMAP client to use port 144

Mobiles

UNTESTED

Install rpm, start service, configure

Issues

Backup

Nothing to do ?

data is in mysql, config files are in /etc/zarafa, attachments in /home/e-smith/files/zarafa

Store_attachment_outside_of_the_database

Early wiki instructions stored attachments in mysql, if you just edit the config file zarafa may fail to start and you get this error

Mon 29 Sep 2008 12:28:29 AM EST: Attachments are stored with option 'database', but 'files' is selected.

One way to fix is by dropping the database (this deletes your mail), and recreating the database with the server.cfg setting set to files.

.qmail fragment

• mailsorting contrib sorts to Maildir folders, zarafa won't see this mail. Disable procmail/maildrop and re-create internal zarafa rules

Restarting httpd-e-smith

Eg. modifying an ibay, causes a problem with webaccess

tail /var/log/messages
<snip>
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  Function registration failed - duplicate name - mapi_zarafa_getuser in Unknown on line 0
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  Function registration failed - duplicate name - mapi_zarafa_getgroup in Unknown on line 0
Sep 28 16:30:27 kiwi httpd: PHP Warning:  mapi:  Unable to register functions, unable to load in Unknown on line 0

workaround is to
sv restart httpd-e-smith

Address book

The Zarafa global address book finds users and groups from /etc/passwd etc/group

We don't want machine names, ibays, system, the group of a user, maybe others. I don't see how to hide them, changing shell to /bin/false may break things

Folder Naming

SME and Zarafa use different folder naming. To enhance migration SME folders should be renamed prior to migration.

drafts > Drafts
junkmail > Junk E-mail
sent-mail > Sent Items
trash > Deleted Items

Migrating users and data to Zarafa

Zarafa migration whitepaper describes various ways of migrating your users and your data to a Zarafa server.

http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/zarafa_migration.en.pdf

IMAP migration from SME/IMAP to Zarafa/IMAP

Configure zarafa-gateway for migration enabling IMAP on port 144 only as shown above

Get imapsync and required perl module

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-Mail-IMAPClient/perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall perl-Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

wget http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/imapsync-1.264.tgz
tar -zxvf imapsync-1.264.tgz
cd ./imapsync-1.264
make install

Perform a user mail sync from SME/IMAP (host1/port1) to Zarafa/IMAP (host2/port2)

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 <username> --password1 <password> --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 <username> --password2 <password>

Example to synchronize a user named 'bob' with password 'bob123' from SME IMAP into Zarafa:

imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 bob --password1 bob123 --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 bob --password2 bob123

After syncing is complete, stop zarafa-gateway service and/or edit /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg to meet your needs.
