| We have major problems installing the Argosoft.NET mailserver. We receive several MS SQL errors. Very strange, there ar NO install documents delivered by the .NET software, so we do not know what tables, columns, rights etc. etc. we must provide. We created some tables like Mailboxdate Users etc. but still errors. What is the problem with this program? Where are the install documents? Does anybody know? | | |

| The ArGo .NET Mail server will install and create all applicable tables and user rights. Did you already have MS-SQL installed before installing ArGo? If so, what version? If no SQL server is installed, it will install MS SQL 2005 Express. Please advise. | | - - - - - - -

| We have MS SQL server running, but Argosoft does NOT create any table or so. I have tested this on 2 servers running w2003-webedition with ms-sql up an running. We created a database by hand, named MailServerData en created some tables by hand. No we receive the error:
Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. Argosoft.NET is still not installed.... | | | |

| What version of MS-SQL are you running? Are you installing as an "Administrator"? | | - - - - - - -

| So now I installed this on a computer running Win XP sp2.
It seems to be running.
But now I must install MS SQL Server Management on this home-computer, and look what tables and columns and rights etc. etc. are made, and copy this one by one to my w2003 internet servers?
Maybe there is a better way to do this? I cant believe that this is the way to install Argosoft.Net mailserver!
What is the problem installing Argosoft Mail Server .NET on a running w2003 internetserver with MS-SQL up and running?

| I am installing as an Administrator on the w2003 server.
The MS-SQL is the normal 2005 Express edition. | | | |

| You mentioned the SQL Express was previously installed, so I think this is a SQL Permissions issue. If I understood this MS-KB correctly, you need to assign the Admin account to the default schema, so it can create the necessary objects. I suggest removing the database from SQL and try again after correcting the permisssions issue. | | - - - - - - -

| So I read the explanation of the problem at the MS site.
But I dont see any SOLUTION for this problem. So since I am not a MS-SQL expert, how do I "assigne the Admin user (I think you mean that, or the SA user? Or something else like Administrator?) to a default schema" (Dont know what a "default schema" means! Are there more schemas? Never see something like that, I am sorry!) Argo has made this really difficult. I hope they can support their new software, in case of problems.... | | | |

| Also on the clean winXP sp2 home computer there is an SQL error after install. I followed exactly the instructions from Argosoft: > installed the framework > installed the provided SQL server > installed the Argosoft Mailserver The error: "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects" Remark: it was a CLEAN xp-pro SP2 and I just followed exactly the steps : .Net framework 2.0 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and the Mailserversetup.msi So maybe there is a problem with something? I don't know what to do now. | | | |

| I hope they can support their new software, in case of problems.... Support :: Help With Installation Here at ArGoStuff, this is a User to User Support Site. Those who do reply make every effort to assist others based on their own experiences. I am not SQL Expert, I have installed ArGo on two servers without any issues (MS-SQL 2005), and I had beta tested the orginal with MS-SQL 2005 Express. Using SQL Server Management Studio I check both the Admin (BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS) and Network service (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM accounts under Security -> Logins. Under Server Roles, mine both have SysAdmin Checked. Schema is a fancy term for Database.. Microsoft is getting likes to make things difficult. | | - - - - - - -

| So finally Argosoftware installed, with the export from the database from the XP-pc.
After starting > again problems with importing from the Pro version
After starting > several errors after trying to config the server
Maybe we give Argo another trie after some time, so they can make it better then the situation now. For this moment, since we have a running hosting business with serious customers, so we cannot play around with our servers, we look for other software to install on our servers.
So thanks for helping and spending time on it! | | | |

|  | | Mail Server v1.0.8.3 |
- Added support of STARTTLS (STLS) command for SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and SMTP relay and delivery, which will
allow secure, fully encrypted connections, when possible;
| | 11/6/2011 1:10:34 PM |
| Mail Server v1.0.8.2 |
- Optimized delivery speed. In earlier versions each "tick" which was checking whether messages were
in the outbox queue, was picking up only one message at a time. Now it will attempt to pick MaximumAllowedThreads-ActiveDelivery threads
messages, which should considerably increase deliver speed;
- Optimized SEARCH and STATUS IMAP commands. They appear to be used very extensively by Android, and (not that extensively, but still) by
iPhone. Now users who use mobile phones to access their IMAP accounts will see considerable improvement;
- Optimized STORE IMAP command. Before storing of IMAP flags was occuring one message at a time, which seemed to be fine
with SQL server, but proved to be slow for SQLite... Now it happens with single SQL call.
| | 10/8/2011 7:59:35 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.1 | -
Fixed a bug: when using IMAP via Firefox with "When I delete a message, move it
to Trash folder" option, marking messages in the trash folder was causing high CPU usage,
and was taking some time, making the server pretty much non-responsive. The problem was
happening only when using SQLite.
| | 6/6/2011 9:33:36 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server v1.0.8.0 |
- Fixed a problem with web interface - was showing only first page of messages, and would not
switch to other pages; In order to fix the web interface, mail server itself has to be updated;
- When installint initially, was still using SQLite, even when SQL was requested;
- There was a problem with switching from SQLite database engine to SQL server database engine:
the SQL database was not being created;
| | 5/23/2011 5:53:55 PM |
| ArGoSoft Mail Server .NET v1.0.7.9 |
- The server no longer requires Microsoft SQL Server. If SQL server is not found, it will use
SQLite engine, which does not require separate installation. If SQL server is found, then user will be
prompted whether he wants to use it;
- Made other improvements, such as, now mailbox rebuild indexes orphaned records, rather then deleting them,
also added an opotion to increment UIDL validity of folder (both on the Mailbox viewer box);
- Made minor improvements on web interface;
