From brandon at squareonedesign.com Fri Oct 13 08:13:07 2000 From: brandon at squareonedesign.com (Brandon Gohsman) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:00:36 2004 Subject: FW: O'Reilly Releases "Managing IMAP" Message-ID: Anyone interested in IMAP? -----Original Message----- From: Denise Olliffe [mailto:deniseo@oreilly.com] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 4:02 PM To: brandon@squareonedesign.com Subject: O'Reilly Releases "Managing IMAP" For immediate release Review copies available Contact: Denise Olliffe (707) 829-0515 ext 339 or deniseo@oreilly.com IMAP EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AS USE OF MULTIPLE COMPUTERS INCREASES O'Reilly's latest release, "Managing IMAP" by Dianna Mullet & Kevin Mullet, is both a conceptual and mechanical IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) road map. IMAP is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. IMAP's ability to access messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer will become extremely important as reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase. "The popularity of the Internet exploded when gopher sites were replaced by the World Wide Web. As IMAP is embraced over the legacy POP3 email access protocol, electronic mail will experience a similar quantum leap in functionality, " says co-author Kevin Mullet. "Considering how important IMAP is to Internet email, we were surprised to find that there was nothing like our book on the market to walk system administrators through the process of moving from a legacy email system to a multi-function IMAP server, and the tricks for managing it once they got there." The demand for email servers that take advantage of centralized resources to manage mail, rather than heap more tasks on end-user computers, has been answered by incorporating IMAP into virtually every major email server on the market. Consequently, IMAP deployment is expected to increase rapidly over the next three years. Managers, system integrators, and system administrators on the front lines of internet messaging will find "Managing IMAP" a valuable tool for IMAP system provision, maintenance and support. It is also useful to anyone considering IMAP for their messaging system. "Now is an especially critical time for the email system administrator to have an excellent IMAP reference at her fingertips," explains Mullet. "It's not enough to know that IMAP exists, or even to know what capabilities it delivers that legacy, monolithic and non-standardized mail systems do not. Some major email products claim to offer standards-compliant IMAP and do not. This book helps separate the wheat from the chaff, giving the system administrator or her manager the tools and information they need to evaluate products which purport to be standards-compliant IMAP servers." The only book on the market devoted exclusively to IMAP, "Managing IMAP" covers the IMAP protocol, setting up a client, IMAP security, performance monitoring, and tools. Several chapters are devoted specifically to two of the most popular servers: the University of Washington server, and Cyrus, plus detailed appendixes cover topics such as TCL, procmail, Sieve, and sendmail. "Kevin and Dianna Mullet have done an outstanding job of presenting practical information on how to install, configure, and manage an IMAP server system. Both major freeware server implementations are covered in detail. I am particularly impressed by how the Mullets have uncovered and fleshed out useful information from mailing list folklore or passing mention in documenting. A book like this has been needed for a long time. It belongs on every server administrator's bookshelf." --Mark Crispin, creator of IMAP, from the Foreword Chapter 9, Cyrus System Administration, is available free online at: http://www.ora.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bio, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/ For more information on IMAP, see The IMAP Connection at The University of Washington, at: http://www.imap.org/ For a cover graphic in jpeg format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/059600012x.jpg # # # Managing IMAP By Dianna Mullet & Kevin Mullet 1st Edition September 2000 0-596-00012-X, 550 pages, $34.95 order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 http://www.oreilly.com From joelmeulenberg at yahoo.com Fri Oct 13 10:27:10 2000 From: joelmeulenberg at yahoo.com (Joel Meulenberg) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:00:36 2004 Subject: FW: O'Reilly Releases "Managing IMAP" Message-ID: <20001013152710.6399.qmail@web314.mail.yahoo.com> I want that book!

This Friday's meeting will be in "Classroom 1" in the 1239 building (see map referenced below). The 1239 building is directly in front of you as you drive into Waters Circle. Classroom 1 is in the basement of the 1239 building. For those of you who have been in the "old" classroom 1 before, this is the "new" classroom 1 - it's way down at the north end of the main north/south hallway in the basement of 1239. This is the opposite end of the hallway from where the "old" classroom 1 was. You should enter the 1239 building at the main entrace and check in at the front receptionist's desk (ground floor). Someone should be there to escort you down to classroom 1. If not, the receptionist can tell you the way. See you there. +Joel --- Joel Meulenberg wrote: > I haven't been able to confirm the meeting room yet, but you'll hear > soon after I do.

You know I already responded to your question directly, but I thought I ought to reply on the list just so everyone knows your inquiry isn't being ignored. Meetings typically run for about 1 hour, though they've been known to go for as long as almost 1.5 hours. We try to keep them to about an hour though. The topics for this month's meeting are mentioned in the agenda I forwarded to you. Hope to see you on Friday! +Joel --- olowola2@msu.edu wrote: > Forgive this GR Perl Monger newbie, but could someone clarify exactly > how > long the meeting will be.
