Zimbra Data Source

[bonoboslr]

I need to create an external data source account using the zmprov cds command, but there is very little documentation on how to do this.
I seemed to have hacked my way to the point where I cannot run the command to create the account without the zimbraDataSourceFolderId attribute having a value. I would like the external account to deliver to the Inbox and not to a seperate folder so does anyone have any idea what this folder ID should be?

Many thanks,

Does this help ? batch zmprov cds

[bonoboslr]

Yes it does. Tremendous - thanks!

OK Setting it 'null' allows the zmprov command to execute, but then not actually work. It sets it as '-1' and looking from the logs - borks.

ok. My problem now is that I do not know what the folderId is for the Inbox folder. How can I find this out for each user? I want to be able to create an external account for each user and have the new messages placed in the inbox and not in a seperate folder. The zimbraDataSourceFolderId seems key to this....

Hi bonoboslr , what do you make to resolv this problem? About errors generated in log... Tks
I have this message error in my log:
...2009-03-22 17:41:24,000 WARN [ScheduledTask-1] [name=usuario@exemple.com.br;mid=3;ds=Locaweb;] datasource - Scheduled DataSource import failed.

I used folderId set to 2. This means that the mail once retrieved from the DS is put into the Inbox.

Tks bonoboslr by your reply. I had already made this change and work, now i receive pop3 messages.
To clarify this solution for other persons, this is a correct way to create a Data Source:

zmprov createDataSource usuario@example.com.br pop3 'Pop3External' zimbraDataSourceHost 'pop3.example.com.br' zimbraDataSourcePort 110 zimbraDataSourceEnabled TRUE zimbraDataSourceUsername 'usuario@example.com.br' zimbraDataSourcePassword 'password' zimbraDataSourceConnectionType 'cleartext' zimbraDataSourceLeaveOnServer TRUE zimbraDataSourceFolderId '2'

Let's check the account level:
zmprov ga usuario@example.com.br | grep zimbraDataSourcePollingInterval
Try setting the account level:
zmprov mds usuario@example.com.br Pop3External zimbraDataSourcePollingInterval 5m
Try to set FolderID=2
zmprov mds usuario@example.com.br Pop3External zimbraDataSourceFolderId '2'

To change any value in DataSource, you must specify a name of External Account created, in my example = Pop3External.

Tks for help.
