Mail System

• Mostly all docs out there are outdated, the best way to do it is the mysql+web-interface thing.
• That will work with a mysql server and a saslauth server, so be carefull with your resources (more even if you're using it with funambol)
• Read Configuring cyrus, configuring postfix, and configuring pam for a easily explained way to go with all this.

Moblin

• Virtualizing moblin is hard, impossible on non-vmx capable processors.
• Chrooting moblin with m-chroot will be great, if it were because of moblin-chroot problems.
• You'll end up being crazy if something is broken at moblin server and using mib2.
• Also, make sure your system supports loop devices (and you've got losetup) for mib.
• More stuffs and so on virtualizing moblin section

Funambol admin ui

• You'll have to eventually reset your X server (if on linux) if funamboladmin doesn't do it for you
• You'll end up crazy with moblin-chroot if you don't apply my patch or patch it yourself until you realize it's broken.
• It'll give strange errors after changing the password of the user wich you're working. Just restart the admin app.
• Not a problem, but notice that single click in lateral bar is for nothing, and that right click exists, it's usefull, really.
• You can't have a complete list of users, you'll have to search for something to get user lists.
• You need a good system, funambol is executed trough apache tomcat and therefore is resource-expensive. Just have a look at those java processes you've got.
• Things will get worse without a client.
  • Actual client versin for blackberry makes it run out of battery for some reason.
  • Nokia and windows mobile devices may work. Tought (and that last can be a problem itself ;-) )
• Admin password will be stored plaintext in /opt/Funambol/admin/admin.properties so be carefull with it.
  • Dont use any system-wide pass or something.
  • This is when you check "Save password" on admin ui, not funambol d(m|s) server stuff.
• Don't know if that's an expected feature, but I had to run it as root, changing permissions of /opt/Funambol/admin/ may solve this.
• This might be an ubuntu problem, as I couldn't invest more time on it, but sometimes it'll tell you "Host not found or not reacheable".
  • Restarting the server or even reinstalling it won't solve this. Restarting networking won't do it neither. Just restarting your computer will.
