Thunderbird wants you to create the mailbox settings first.

This is part of a state investigation, so, no gmail account is available. This needs to be a free standing solution. While MBOX reports the ability to handle a 4GB file, it never finishes indexing.

you can add literally anything in, and bypass the process to actually create an account with Thunderbird.

So-

Yes, it worked. I found that it was also an issue the the file name. It was longer than Mozilla wanted. I wonder now if the MBOX viewer would open it now also...

Interesting-
Will check and try again.

I’ll have to try that Monday if this doesn’t work.

Are you working from a Windows only workstation?

Yes- State Agency.

I’ve not had to work with MBOX files, they are a text document file type of in this case a Gmail account.
It is a decent sized file at 1.3GB and of course MS Word has a 512MB limit.

Any suggestions on what could open this? I have tried MBOX Viewer from sourceforge so far.

As I was mainly looking to scan files and add them to the db, I didn't look at really any of the other occ command.

However, you can add,change,delete users via SSH this way also.

user
  user:add                            adds a user
  user:delete                         deletes the specified user
  user:disable                        disables the specified user
  user:enable                         enables the specified user
  user:info                           show user info
  user:lastseen                       shows when the user was logged in last time
  user:list                           list configured users
  user:report                         shows how many users have access
  user:resetpassword                  Resets the password of the named user
  user:setting                        Read and modify user settings

After rebuilding my NextCloud server, I created my users, groups and such. after finishing this, I used FileZilla to upload the files that I had backed up.

One problem: They don't show up in the available files for the User/Group. So, how can I fix this without having to delete and re-upload.

Using the occ Command

I found the page on using the occ command to be quite helpful, though the path is a tad off for my installation of Ubuntu, no issue though, as once I was in /var/www/html/ the command worked nicely.

[email protected]:/var/www/html# sudo -u www-data php occ

Will return a nice list of command that can be used

[email protected]:/var/www/html# sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan
Please specify the user id to scan, --all to scan for all users or --path=...

Needs an extra switch to process correctly;

[email protected]:/var/www/html# sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all
Starting scan for user 1 out of 6 (User1)
Starting scan for user 2 out of 6 (User2)
Starting scan for user 3 out of 6 (User3)
Starting scan for user 4 out of 6 (User4)
Starting scan for user 5 out of 6 (User5)
Starting scan for user 6 out of 6 (Adminuser)

Files added to the db without having to re-upload them

Well - that was easy... not as easy as have you tried to turn it off and back on?

Seems like there was a issue with the password, so clearing and resetting all that on the phone resolved it.

This is following my previous 502 bad Gateway thread.

I've downloaded the few files that were online, and re-installed the server. Post install, I've used Cockpit to update the system: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Nextcloud reported there was also an update, and this was done via the web portal.

Now, I'm trying to reconnect my phone to my account and it continues to prompt a warning about the Certificate.

Clicking yes, since I don't have a certificate leads me into a cycle. I didn't encounter this the first time I built the instance.

any thoughts?
