A question about roundcube and UebiMiau webmail

[tim874536]

my case:
my client said he used UebiMiau for over 1 years, and it works fine.
once he login into roundcube, he can't see some of e-mail which is present when using UebiMiau. (i have reinstalled the linux and DA since half year before)

Therefore, i would like to ask
1. what is the problem between two webmail?/
2. are their config problem?(about index folder???)

3. what is the default folder that store client e-mail?? imap??? mail?? Maildir??
4. what is the default path that roundcube and Uebimiau read e-mail?? Index.? current mail folder???

Roundcube, Squirrelmail, etc., all use IMAP to store mail and mailboxes.

UebiMiau doesn't; it uses a proprietary method. I've posted previously in these forums that before removing UebiMiau, you should make sure your users don't have any mail stored in mailboxes that they need.

If you haven't deleted the UebiMiau mailboxes you can reinstall or reactivate UebiMiau and let your users get their email, or you can figure out how to move them to your IMAP mail store.

then i would like to ask what is the default folder that store the user mail? (using IMAP)

what is the default folder that store the user mail? (using pop3)

Uebimiau doesn't use IMAP. It uses proprietary folders.

IMAP and POP3 share the same folder system, which differs depending on whether you use mbox or Maildir.

Using Maildir it's in the /home/username/* directory structure; imap for the virtual email boxes, and Maildir for the username's email.

If I recall correctly, mbox (which I haven't used in a while) stores the virtual email boxes in /var/spool/virtual/ and username email in /var/spool/mail.

For Maildir, the structure isn't simple; it's a somewhat complex directory and file structure.
