IMAP not available in our OTRS 2.3.4 installation on Ubuntu Karmic
by Cristian Alvarado 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

Hello, We recently upgraded OTRS from version 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. All indications point to a successful upgrade, but we do not see the ability to use IMAP in the postmaster setup in the web based administration interface. One of the reasons for upgrading OTRS was to have IMAP functionality, as our sys admins are migrating all of our email accounts to a server that only does IMAP. Is there anything we should be checking to gain this functionality? To restate the question (hopefully clearer): We do not see IMAP as an option in /otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminMailAccount in the pull down menu on that page. -- Cristian Alvarado Academic Technology HelpDesk (415)338-6836 ocdude(a)sfsu.edu

Hi, I'm a new OTRS user (just got it installed yesterday). I have one thing I'd like to change , but I can't figure out where to do this: In the reply emails from the system or when I answer a ticket, the subject in the email says something like Re: (TICKET#2010 .... I'd like to remove or change the word TICKET. How can I do this? Thanks! Andy

Customizing the LDAP fetching
by Rune 'TheFlyingcorpse' Darrud 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hello OTRS list, I have successfully got an OTRS 2.4.7 installation up and running with LDAP based customerinfo + some custom fields also fetched from LDAP. There is however some things I'd like to do with the fetched data before returning them, how would I go forward to do this? IE: I'd like to get 2 attributes from an object, then do a IF statement on them, with output coming from the IF / ELSE instead of just the RAW output being parsed directly to the frontend, for example the compose view. How should I go forward with fetching more then 2 user objects? Our users are defined several places for different roles, I'd like to do a tree walk for the same user object found one place, in another place, almost identical structure, if returned, then showing below customer info as its own category with the fetched LDAP info from here too (in compose view for instance). Can I also based on the LDAP do a fetch within the same CustomerInfo, to another module / script and return to the main map for the user. (Our department info is not stored in LDAP, its stored in an external database that can return the information based on the username specified.) Last Question -> There is also dynamic data stored on the user, will this get fetched every time I open the post after save too, based on username or just on the compose? Ideally every time the post is opened for at least one part of the post, ideally a small standalone script/module that fetches this. Thanks for all replies (-: Best Regards, Rune "TheFlyingCorpse" Darrud

Re: [otrs] postmaster mail account on windows 2008

I figured it out right after I sent the e-mail and now I realize that I should often begin in the most logical place before I make the problem more complex than it is. So for those of you who are new/interested... In the OTRS install directory (C:\ProgramFiles\OTRS\) you should see a CRONw folder that has all the necessary documents to help you with the script execution intervals.

postmaster mail account on windows 2008
by Ryan Miguel 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

I have a test installation of OTRS 2.4.7 running on MS Server 2008 and so far I love how powerful and customizable it is. It's synced to AD to pull our customer data and also MS Exchange for smtp/pop3. The mail accounts work fine but I would like to have it poll the mailboxes every X amount of minutes for new mail and I can't seem to find any articles that show me how to do this.

Setting next ticket state based on email response
by Jeremy Revitch 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

We have a number of customized responses available to agents in "Compose Answer (email):". We would like to be able to set the next state of a ticket based on the response that the agent uses. I don't see any simple way of achieving this but hope that someone out there is smarter than me...

Hi all, Several people have been asking about installation of OTRS on Debian. I've now added Debian specific installation instructions to the wiki: http://wiki.otrs-forum.de/index.php?title=Installation_on_Debian_5.04_lenny So far, there are instructions for Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE available as well.

Also, in general, if you would have something interesting to share, please feel free to add it. Currently there's an English area: http://wiki.otrs-forum.de/index.php?title=English_Area but also French, Spanish, Italian and of course German are available, there is just not too much content yet :D ((enjoy)) - Michiel Beijen R&D Follow me on Twitter: @otrsnl [https://twitter.com/otrsnl] OTRS AG Norsk-Data-Str 1. 61352 Bad Homburg Germany T: +31 (0) 6457 42418 F: +49 (0) 9421 56818-18 I: http://www.otrs.com/ Business Location: Bad Homburg, Country Court: Bad Homburg, Commercial register: 10751, Tax ID: 003 240 97505 Chairman of the Board: Burchard Steinbild, Managing Board: André Mindermann (CEO), Martin Edenhofer
