Subject: Re: Citadel Mailserver autopurges Rooms from My Folder
Hello
i still have that Problem with the autopurger
are there characters or sign not allowed for a Room name in ,,My folders,, ?
greetings
I was able to send and receive emails using citadel on linux, and I was also able to receive an email with a file attachment from gmail. However I was unable to send an email with a file attachment to gmail (have not tested others). An error message saying "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" was received. Please let me know if this issue can be resolved. Thanks

You should be able to do <.A>dmin <E>dit-room from the text mode client.
Having deleted a user I now cannot recreate that user as it says it already exists
Just wait untill tomorrow, user should be purged an you can create it again.

hey i have a error when i install citadel on a raspberry 4.
Setup could not connect to a running Citadel server.: Connection refused citadel-admin.socket
everyone a idea?
First of all, the support web page clearly indicates that you should not send direct messages to random people on Uncensored requesting support for Citadel, so stop it. The people you messaged are here for other reasons.
Please identify what operating system is running on your Pi, what version of the OS is being used, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, and what steps you took to install Citadel to make it produce that error message.
Greeting to all citadel users. I just completed an easy-install on a CentOS 8 system and I am having an issue with the cli client. When I run ./citadel I am prompted to log in and that works, but once i get to the Lobby> prompt then it no longer accepts any input. No matter what commands I try to type, it does nothing. I cannot even (T)erminate. The only thing I can do is open another session and do a "killall citadel" to close the client. I was really hoping for the text client option for use as a legacy BBS style setup.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Subject: Re: text client not accepting input after logion
Never mind... I figured it out. Finally found that the generated citadel.rc file was placed in the root instead of /usr/local/citadel. Once i moved it everything works as expected.

Subject: Changing a user password - only changes imap, not smtp
Hi all!
I‘ve been running a Citadel server happily for around a year now on a Pi4 under Raspbian Buster, using it as an IMAP and SMTP server.
One of my users needs to change his password due to a potential breach.
When either he changes it or I change it (as admin) it seems to change it ok on the IMAP side but doesn’t change the SMTP side. I‘ve tried both Thunderbird and Microsoft mail as clients.
I think I can probably get around it by creating a temporary new account (say usertemp), copy all of his emails into that on the client, delete his original account, then reply-create the original account the next day with the new password after the auto-purge, then copy everything back from the temp account.
Any ideas about my problem though?
Appreciate any help,
thanks
Col
Subject: Re: Changing a user password - only changes imap, not smtp
The only thing I can think of is perhaps the client is caching old credentials?
Or maybe you have something other than Citadel listening on port 587?

Citadel does not have any concept of different passwords for different protocols. The password for an account is the password for all protocols -- IMAP, SMTP, web client access, etc.

Thanks for replying, what you say makes sense.
I’ll try to set up his client on a fresh device so no there‘s no possibility of the passwords being cached.
There’s definitely only Citadel listening on 587 (goes away to hastily check!) :)

Using Citadel for several years meanwhile. Running one instance on a Rasperry Pi 3b that I installed with "Easy Install". But as you also provide an Image version, I thought giving this one a try. But it seems not to work for me.
If you need any furhter information, give me a note.
Cheers,

Just to give you a bit more information. After running systemctl stop citadel, the defunc pid disappears - as all the other citadel ones.
If I use then either ...run or do systemctl start citadel, the ps output looks similar to the one I pasted earlier - with different pid´s for sure.
Cheers,

That is the sort of results i got with the pre-release ( on both a PI 2 and a BPI - M3 ). But i didnt really have time to go into it deeper. I also assumed it was just something i was doing wrong and not systemic ( not uncommon )
Hi,
Did Easy Installation now again. That way works like a piece of cake. But wondering why the AppImage way didn´t work for me.
Thanks,

Hi,
After my pi installation tanked I installed latest onto our 20.04 server.
But we get this
