Why did you choose uebimiau email?

Hello,

We chose uebimiau only because it offered the functionality to work without an IMAP server. We do have plans to add SquirrelMail once IMAP comes along.

John
 
openwebmail requires imap? Why squirrel over openweb? I think I have to replace the current mail, it doesn't have spell check which my customers require after using openwebmail on cobalts.
 
I didn't say openwebmail requires IMAP, all I said was that uebimiau provided an temporary fix to the fact that we had no webmail, and was easy to install. :)

SquirrelMail has been requested far more often, but both could be installed if there is demand for both.

John
 
It wouldn't really matter which, just as long as they both have similar important features like spell check.

Openwebmail feature list:

1. fast folder access
2. efficient messages movement
3. smaller memory footprint
4. convenient folder and message operation
5. graceful filelock
6. remote SMTP relaying
7. virtual hosting
8. user alias
9. pure virtual user support
10. per user capability configuration
11. various authentication modules
12. pam support
13. full content search
14. strong MIME support (presentation and composing)
15. draft folder support
16. reply with stationery support
17. spelling check support
18. POP3 mail support
19. mail filter support
20. message count preview
21. confirm reading support
22. charset auto conversion
23. calendar with reminder/notification support
24. web disk support
25. persistent running through SpeedyCGI
26. HTTP compression support

Can't find a nice list like this for squirrel.

So any idea when this might happen?
 
What I need out of this service is the ability to have multiple identities. Sometimes I need to respond to emails as the webmaster, while other times as customer service, and I do not have time to be going back and forth between multiple email accounts dozens of times a day. We had used Horde in the past, which allowed multiple identities.

We'd be more than happy to install any webmail program, but we need to have IMAP support.
 
Horde has multiple identities... and is
VERY full featured.. But only works best with IMAP...


What DirectAdmin badly needs is ***IMAP***
support!! :)

You got that right!
 
Oh man, this really sucks, here is a message from one of my customers:


<rant on>
This webmail sucks big time. What a time waster.

Please have my limit increased a bunch like 5 times bigger. I do not have
time to fight with webmail when onsite.

Please also have the timeout increased to maybe an hour.

And while trying to clean up because it would not let me read new mail
because full, I created a new folder called OldInBox and transferred all
InBox messages to it then deleted some SentMail messages. Now when I want to
open OldInBox, it immediately puts up the Login screen, and when I login and
try to open OldInBox, the same thing happens over and over. Please have them
transfer my OldInBox messages back to Inbox. And fix the bug.

And while they are at it, please get them to quit blowing away any of my
work in progress any time there is some sort of error in their stupid
program.
<rant off>


Please, please give us better webmail in a hurry.
 
Hello,

Once I get these last few bug fixes released for DA, I'll be finishing up IMAP and getting SquirrelMail going. :)

rm -rf /customer/

That is the way :)
 
heh, and here's another one from the same person. I'm the third party guy here that gets these message third hand from the sys guy at the company:
-----------
Sucky webmail was complaining it had no room to open a message so in the
process of cleaning up I moved my InBox messages to a new folder. Now sucky
webmail will not let me open the folder so I cannot read old messages.
Therefore whomsoever sent email Monday until now, please resend.

And while I am on the subject, it appears one cannot put addresses from the
address book into the cc slot, not that I can see anyways. And…anytime it
gets in a snit about one thing or another, and it often does, it blows away
your work in progress.

Surely we could find a better webmail, or even perhaps IMAP or VPN.
-------------

ouch! :eek:
 
IMAP has been released (tho not part of the default installation) and SquirrelMail can be added; do a search on the forum.

HTH,
Matt
 
Ok, let me rephrase that,

So what's the word on the ol' imap / squirrel mail as default webmail situation? Any ETA?
 
Is replacing the webmail with the excellent Horde just a matter of removing the old webmail and changing a line in the conf file so that the webmail link points to Horde or is it a bit more complicated?
 
Hello,

As of Nov 2nd, imap IS included with installs and Squirrel Mail is not. I havn't had a chance to get SM going yet.

Horde: It should be that simple. You can either just change the directory the webmail alias points to, or just change the contents of that directory. If you want to give them a choice between the two, you can move the contents of webmail down into a subdirectory of webmail, and create an index.html with both options.. it's really up to you.

John.
