core-8.6.80.621: German Umlauts broken in the subject line of sent mails

fbartels

I was able to reproduce this and created https://jira.kopano.io/browse/KC-1139 to follow up on this.

In Webapp the folder names are scrambled: e.g. Entw?rfe instead of Entwürfe

This must be something else. On my testsystem I can create german folder names just fine, e.g. with kopano-admin --create-store user2 --lang de_DE.UTF-8

Thank you for opening the bug about this fbartels!

I accidentally noticed the WebApp folder-name-problem today as well. It seems to only affect the newly created user (which logged in using Outlook 2016 via latest Z-Push). Other, older Accounts do not show those damaged foldernames for “Entwürfe” and “Gelöschte”…

So it probably is related to initial account/folder creation? And not about displaying existing folders.

Most probably related to https://forum.kopano.io/topic/1308/using-french-locale-accentuation-not-working-in-mailbox-content/. I would propose to discuss there further.

Hi @fbartels,

thank you for opening the ticket.

kopano-admin --create-store user2 --lang de_DE.UTF-8

always worked for me.
The problem is following:

I create a user with:

kopano-admin -c test -p xxxx -e "test@xxx.de" -f "test"

in /etc/kopano/userscripts/createuser.d/00createstore I have the following:

kopano-admin -v --utf8 --create-store "${KOPANO_USER}" --lang "${KOPANO_LANG}"

even if I change this line to:

kopano-admin -v --utf8 --create-store "${KOPANO-USER}" --lang "de_DE.UTF-8"

the store is not created with de_DE.UTF-8 encoding.
I have to detach the store, use the command from above to create a correct store and remove the orphaned store.

Hi @fkroeger ,

I’ve managed to reproduce the issue and create a ticket for followup https://jira.kopano.io/browse/KC-1140

Thanks for verifying! :)

I just installed version 8.6.80.752-0+85.1 and can confirm that the Subject/Umlaut issue is fixed for me as well!

robgnu

Hello,
today I’ve upgraded to the current nightly (06.05.2018 / core-8.6.80.752_0+85-Debian_9.0-amd64) and I can’t confirm the fix. When I create a new user, I still get the ? instead of the “Umlauts” in the folder names.

I created a user with this command:

kopano-cli --create --user user1 --password "user1" --email user1@example.com --fullname "User One" --admin-level 1

@robgnu
My confirmation that this has been fixed was only meant to be about the corrupt subject line, not about the folder name issue.

Update: Tried the folder issue myself now because I needed to create a user anyway. Still present. User created with commandline and logged in via WebApp. Folder names corrupt. Fixed them with kopano-localize-folders -u user@domain.tld --lang de_DE.UTF-8

We are talking about two different issues here. Kc-1139 was solved, kc-1140 is still open.

robgnu

Oh ok - sorry.

hello
i have a similar problem with run

kopano-localize-folders -u user@domain.tld --lang de_DE.UTF-8

the output is:

user@domain.tld
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/kopano-localize-folders", line 114, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/kopano-localize-folders", line 88, in main
    print('%s: Changing localized folder names to \"%s\"' % (user.name.decode('utf-8'), options.lang))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

anyone have a idea of this ? running ubuntu 18.04 core-8.7.80

i’m no able to solve my above problem but i’m able to have all umlaut in german language…

first detach store from user:

kopano-storeadm -Dn <user1>

add new store to user

kopano-storeadm -Cn <user1> -l de_DE.UTF-8

after this i got german names in folders like inbox > posteingang
but the umlauts are not displaying correct.
My charset of nginx is set to UTF-8

so i found in the spooler.cfg

#charset_upgrade = windows-1252

i change it to:

charset_upgrade = UTF-8

now it looks to work properly, all umlaut are displaying

thctlo

a very good point here.

dagent.cfg:#default_charset = us-ascii
ical.cfg:#default_charset = utf-8
ldap.cfg:#ldap_server_charset = utf-8
spooler.cfg:#charset_upgrade = windows-1252
unix.cfg:fullname_charset = iso-8859-15

uhhhh, why o why ?? please fix this all to UTF8

noise

ok i look at other files too…

edit: dagent.cfg charset is uncommented i leave it at this time but you have right why not all config files are to UTF-8 ?

thctlo

no, i say this is one that kopano should fix, its crazy to have so much differnent types.

i dont know, wait for a kopano dev to reply this.

It’s all open source, you know. If you feel you need to change something: https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KC/repos/kopanocore/browse/CONTRIBUTING.md

I doubt that it is really necessary, since there are plenty of systems out there that work fine with umlauts in subjects without the need to fiddle with charset settings in the spooler.

I did not yet manage to look into this, but I would expect that this is a python2 vs python3 issue. in master we recently switched everything to python3 and some scripts may still require love.

yes i think also but i try to purge python2.7 but not helps. I’ll keep looking, if i found anything i post it.

thanks anyway
