I bought a domain on OVH and since I expected little use of email on that domain, I made do with the "included" email. The one that uses roundcube 1.4 (from the last century) as webmail.
One day I get an email:
Votre boite mail a atteint 90% de l'espace maximum autorisé sur le serveur. (your mailbox is full)
"It must be a bug, I have 5gb of space and I have only a dozen mails in the box" - I say to myself
But instead all the mails sent to this mailbox bounce with the error "mailbox full".
Since the mails are of little importance, I delete everything and empty the trash, now it is empty, but incoming mails are rejected with "mailbox full"
I open a ticket, they don't believe it at first, but after sending screenshots of both the roundcube quota and their panel showing that the usage is zero, they restore my access.
After a couple days I again get the usual email in French "your box is full".
I reopen the ticket and they tell me that everything is normal and that it is the fault of my email client.
Now that i think about, I did some experiments with python to see if I could see the mails on the server, but I put read-only access, I don't think it's my fault...
Here is the code:
import imaplib
import email
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from sendmail import SendMail
from connection import Connection
class GetMail:
def __init__(self, connection):
self.connection = connection
def fetch_emails(self):
# Connessione all'account IMAP
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(self.connection.imap_server)
imap.login(self.connection.username, self.connection.password)
imap.select('INBOX', readonly=True)
imap.search(None, 'ALL')
email_ids = data[0].split()
email_ids = email_ids[:quantemail]
for email_id in email_ids:
status, data = imap.fetch(email_id, '(BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM SUBJECT)])')
raw_email = data[0][1]
print('Raw Email:\n', raw_email.decode('utf-8'), '\n')
if email_ids:
try:
email_index = int(input("Inserisci l'indice dell'email da scaricare: "))
except:
email_index = -1
if 1 <= email_index <= len(email_ids):
email_id = email_ids[email_index - 1]
status, data = imap.fetch(email_id, '(RFC822)')
raw_email = data[0][1]
email_message = email.message_from_bytes(raw_email)
eml_filename = f"email_temp.eml"
with open(eml_filename, 'wb') as eml_file:
eml_file.write(raw_email)
print("Email scaricata:", eml_filename)
else:
print("Indice email non valido.")
else:
print("Nessuna email trovata.")
imap.logout()
It seems strange to me that if I log in one day with this program, then a few days later the box shows as full even though it is not, and deleting messages does not restore access.
Maybe if you log in with "readonly=true", then the server has a bug where it puts the whole box read-only and can no longer receive mail?
In Italy, the cost of subscription for streaming serie A soccer is 5% of the average net wage. And then you need to add the cost of broadband as it's only streamed, no TV broadcast.
A low wage worker would need to literally skip meals in order to watch those overpaid clowns kick a ball.
Buy less Lamborghinis, reduce the price, have enough servers to allow for a service that doesn't crash and stutter for the first half of the match, then maybe more people would stop paying the illegal IPTV services that are charging 1/10th of the legit service
As of now, illegal IPTV services are giving a better service (no stuttering for half match), a better experience (a m3u can work with older smart TVs without Android) for 90% less money. And sometimes even better support
Many people also pay for a VPN+a subscription to paramount plus USA and they can watch serie a from Italy at 50% off.
