Helpful piece of information: Recovering deleted mails

Recovering Permanently Deleted Mails (Including Sub-Folders)

This document gives the procedure to recover permanently deleted

(using shift +del) mails from Microsoft Outlook.

Procedure:

1) First go to Run and type regedit

2)Goto:\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\EXCHANGE\CLIENT\OPTIONS

registry key.

3) Right click options and add new DWORD VALUE (data type is REG_DWORD) and then right click and rename to DumpsterAlwaysOn. It is case sensitive.

4) Then rights click and modify and make the value 1 to turn the Recover Deleted Items menu choice on for all folders or enter 0 to turn it off.

5) Then go to Outlook, choose “Recover deleted items” option from the Tools Menu to get back your “permanently deleted” mails!

Note: As far as I know this can recover mails which were deleted by pressing shift+
del in the past 4 days only.

Just follow the steps to make yourself comfortable using OpenOffice

Lots of people who have moved to OpenOffice don’t like the margin border on OpenOffice.org Writer it can be remove.

Go to: Tools → Options.
In the options menu choose from left OpenOffice.org → Appearance and then uncheck “Text boundaries” option from right menu. That's it, the margin border will be off.




If you like to change the default OpenOffice.org document file format, for example, to save document files with Microsoft Office format (.doc), go to Tools → Options → (from left menu choose) Load/Save → General.

Now, from right menu, at Default file format section → Always save as, choose Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP, or other default format according to your needs.

Ubuntu Linux 9.04 has been released and available for download ( jump to download link ). Ubuntu Linux is a community-based Linux distribution. The latest release of Ubuntu brings the best open source technologies together on one platform, with the benefit of free updates for 18 months. Also announced were the simultaneous releases of Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition and Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix (UNR).


From the website:

Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop Edition delivers a range of feature enhancements to improve the user experience. Shorter boot speeds, some as short as 25 seconds, ensure faster access to a full computing environment on most desktop, laptop and netbook models. Enhanced suspend-and-resume features also give users more time between charges along with immediate access after hibernation. Intelligent switching between Wi-Fi and 3G environments has been broadened to support more wireless devices and 3G cards, resulting in a smoother experience for most users.

Transparent proxy concept is one of the nice concept with which we can avoid configuring clients for proxy. And it is not much hard to implement also.

The basic steps are as follows in Fedora 8 to configure that as a firewall router with a transparent proxy.

1. Install fedora with web server feature enabled and go to its sub items and make sure Squid 2.6 is selected.
2. Take the terminal window and edit the file squid.conf file using the command
vi /etc/sysconfig/squid.conf
3. Find out the following lines in squid.conf file and remove ‘#’ from the beginning of files and edit those lines as follows
http_access allow all
cache_mem 8 MB
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 100 16 256
http_port 192.168.10.1:3128 transparent

# Assumes that 192.168.10.1 is the ip addresses of your LAN Ethernet interface
always_direct allow all
4. Save the file & exit (by pressing ‘Esc’ + ‘:wq’)
5. To enable routing, edit the ‘sysctl.conf’ file as follows
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

6. Save the file & exit (by pressing ‘Esc’ + ‘:wq’)
7. Edit firewall rules by typing the following commands in the console (Assuming that eth0 is WAN and eth1 is your LAN interface)
iptables –F
iptables –t nat –F
iptables –t nat –X
iptables –t mangle –F
iptables –t mangle –X
iptables –P INPUT DROP
iptables –P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables –A INPUT –i lo –j ACCEPT
iptables –A OUTPUT –o lo –j ACCEPT
iptables –A FORWARD –i eth1 -j ACCEPT
iptables –A OUTPUT –o eth1 –j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth1 -m tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables –t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
iptables –t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE


8. Save iptables by ‘service iptables save’ command
9. Wonderful, our configuration is over.
10. Create Swap directories for squid by typing the command ‘/usr/sbin/squid -z’ in the console.
11. Start squid service by the command ‘service squid start’
12. Restart iptables by the command ‘service iptables restart’

The above configuration makes your Linux also secured router and only SSL is accessible through LAN and WAN as well as SQUID service is accessible through LAN.

You don’t need to do any proxy configuration in client.

You can see the performance for frequently accessed web pages and you don’t need to run and configure proxy on all the client machines you have. Remind the quote of Blue coat – “I Love Proxy”. Study more based on this document and Fine tune your product as productive as you can for your organization.

Note: This will cache request of http Web Pages only and proxy authentication won’t work with transparent proxy.
