I found roundcube mail while searching projects on freshmeat. Already in Alpha stage is runs very nice, has a great template system and uses xhtml/css 2 (although the xhtml could be strict and much better) the default template is great. It currently lacks a search but that is coming in the future.
http://www.roundcube.net/
So lets get started.
=============================
1) Create a mysql db via direct admin. I called mine admin_webmail (you should all know how to do this!)
2) Download and unpack the package:
3) Ensure proper permissions of the folders:
4) Import their SQL file:
Once in, import their SQL file:
now the import should be complete.
5) Setup db config variables
all you have to do here is change the "$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = " config information, mine looks like this:
the format is: mysql://<database user>:<password>@host/database_name
save that file and close it.
6) Setup the application config:
find this line:
Replace with:
next find:
replace with:
7) *optional* you may want to setup an apache alias, you can overwrite your current webmail one with the following:
Edit httpd.conf:
Find this line:
Replace with:
then restart apache
You are done!
