Searches of Attachments in Different Character Sets
When you perform a search for attachment names, search behavior is determined by the character set used by the Oracle Mail server to build the search index. In other words, if the characters you are searching for are not found in the character set used by the Oracle Mail server to build the search index, the attachment will not be found.
Base Users with Multiple Mail IDs
Base users having multiple mail IDs cannot be managed from the centralized provisioning framework in Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g. Users that have multiple mail IDs cannot be managed from Oracle Delegated Administration Services, hence Oracle WebMail must be used to manage such users.
Sharing Public E-mail Folders with a Domain
Shared public e-mail folders available to an entire domain can be created using Oracle Connector for Outlook, only.
|
See Also: "Creating Public Folders" in Appendix C of Oracle Mail Administrator's Guide for more information about creating shared folders |
Attachments and Caching with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Oracle WebMail
By default, neither attachments nor inline images are cached on the client's disk (for security and privacy reasons). Due to a bug in Internet Explorer, this prevents users from opening attachments inline using that browser. For example, clicking on a text attachment and selecting Open from the attachment dialog will fail (the default text editor application for the user will launch, and then generate an error that the file could not be found).
If you have deployed SSL, attempting to download attachments to disk will also fail.
Documentation of the details of this Microsoft Internet Explorer bug can be found in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
"Internet Explorer Cannot Download" Error Message When You Use an HTTPS URL to Open an Office Document or PDF File:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812935
INFO: Prevent Caching When You Download Active Documents over SSL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815313
Internet Explorer file downloads over SSL do not work with the cache control headers:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323308
There are two workarounds available for this issue; you can use a different browser, or, you can relax caching settings. For detailed instructions for relaxing caching settings, see "Security Issues Related to Microsoft Internet Explorer" in Chapter 2 of Oracle Collaboration Suite Security Guide.

Table 8-2 Known Issues in Oracle Mail
| Description | Action | Bug Number |

|
IMAP cannot handle nested folder names, that exceed 990 characters. |
None |
4462743 |
|
Filters (such as virus scanners) no longer work after upgrading from Release 9.0.4. This is because in 9.0.4, filters needed to be defined for each server, while in 10gR1, filters can be defined in a central location and associated with multiple servers. The definitions of existing filters are converted to the new format but not automatically associated with the servers. |
Use the Admin Policy pages to associate the filters with the SMTP servers. |
4688288 |
|
DAS displays "Default" even when no archiving policy exists. |
None |
4484334 |
|
The number of lists for which a user is a member is displayed even when a search is performed by an individual with insufficient privileges to view that information. Because the searcher may not have the sufficient privileges to view all the lists for which a user is a member, there is a difference in the number of lists actually displayed to the count shown on the table. |
None |

Under heavy load, number of database connections from the Oracle Web Access client might be very high. |
You can change the database connection pool scheme used by the application to a fixed scheme by setting the property |
4485215 |
|
After a user is deprovisioned, changing the state of the user from inactive to active will not reprovision the user. |
To reprovision the user, an administrator must use Oracle Delegated Administration Services. |

|
Oracle Mail rejects messages that contain lines exceeding 4000 bytes. |
Maximum limit on the MIME line lengths can be set in the SMTP server For example, If no limit is set, the default maximum of 4000 bytes is assumed. If the limit is set below 1000 bytes (the RFC minimum), the default limit of 4000 bytes is assumed. If the limit is set above the maximum message size, the server rejects a message if its line size exceeds maximum message size. Oracle recommends that administrators evaluate what kinds of messages the site receives and set the appropriate limit using the previously mentioned SMTP parameter, if the default limit of 4000 bytes is not sufficient. While there is no limit on maximum line length, an unreasonably high limit is not recommended because it opens up the possibility of denial of service attacks. |

|
When installing a new Oracle Mail (10.1.2.3) on top of Oracle Mail (10.1.2) the configuration assistant fails because the install code expects an earlier version number (earlier than 10.1.2) from which to upgrade. |
