Zarafa config files
nano /etc/zarafa/server.cfg mysql_user = zarafa mysql_password = 'yourpassword' mysql_database = zarafa user_plugin = unix user_plugin_config = /etc/zarafa/unix.cfg
- I think that due to issues that arise from the unix plugin (including but not limited to) failed Outlook and Multi-Company support, we should revert back to using the db plugin.

Other tasks

Configure Zarafa services and add links for auto start

Start Zarafa services
/etc/init.d/zarafa-server start /etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler start
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
Outlook
To use MS Outlook
Configure, enable and start /etc/init.d/zarafa-licensed
Install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz
However, appears to be an issue when the user_plugin=unix finds matching user/group names (SME design):

IMAP
To access mail in zarafa with an email client
nano /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg pop3_enable = no pop3s_enable = no imap_enable = yes imap_port = 144 imaps_enable = no
config set zarafa-gateway service TCPPort 144 access private status enabled [access public/private as required] ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-gateway /etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway start; signal-event remoteaccess-update
Configure your IMAP client to use port 144
Calendar
http://download.zarafa.com/zarafa/release/docs/zarafa_ical_gateway.en.pdf
To access the calendar functions with an iCal client eg, Thunderbird and Lighting
nano /etc/zarafa/ical.cfg [maybe use icals on 8443] ical_enable = yes ical_port = 8088
config set zarafa-ical service TCPPort 8088 access private status enabled [access public/private as required] ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99zarafa-ical /etc/init.d/zarafa-ical start; signal-event remoteaccess-update
in Tbird/Lightning > New Calendar > on network > ical > http://<domain>:8088/ical/<user>/calendar/
Note, there are problems with reading events created with /webaccess http://forums.zarafa.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1019
Mobiles
To sync the data in zarafa to a compatible device
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. One way to fix is by dropping the database (this deletes your data), 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
sv sigusr1 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
most of these events will cause webaccess to break

workaround is to
sv restart httpd-e-smith
fix is to work out why php is giving an error
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.

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.
SME Actions
Actions to be linked into events
user-delete
To delete a user from the server, use the following command:
/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -d <user name>
The user will be deleted from the database. The store of the user will be placed in the public store, in a 'Deleted Stores' folder. This folder is only available to administrative users of Zarafa.
