Dear folks,
I want to share my thoughts about the folder name abbreviation in the
folder list. I am new out here, so bear with me.
I really dislike the abbreviation of folder names. I also don't understand
why abbreviation is necessary. I can understand the abbreviation if the
folder list has a fixed width. But since you can move the splitter at your
convenience to show more of the folder names, I don't see why the folder
names are abbreviated. Could it be a remnant of the past?
If I understand the information from http://trac.roundcube.net/ correctly
the abbreviation was added as early as changeset 38 in October 2005. The
vertical splitter seems to be added with changeset 1766 in September 2008.
Doesn't the vertical splitter make abbreviation unnecessary?
1) I suggest to remove the abbreviation of folder names in the folder
list. At least make it optional for people who really dislike it (like me).
Looking at the tracker site I noticed some things I want to share also.
2) Changeset 1792 increased the maximum length of folder names in the
folder list from 16 to 25. But only for "Message mode" (when an e-mail was
opened)! When you go back to the message list you will see the folder names
get shortened! It seems like it was forgotten to change the maximum length
in skins\default\templates\mail.html also.
3) The abbreviation routine "abbreviate_string" seems to be added as early
as changeset 37. The used algorithm has not changed since then but it is
totally bogus! The function does not shorten the string in the exact middle
and the function makes the string two characters longer than the allowed
maximum length!
The algorithm would only work if the place holder for the removed part is
only one character. I suggest to change the function into something like
this (untested!):
function abbreviate_string($str, $maxlength, $place_holder='...')
{
$length = mb_strlen($str);
if ($length > $maxlength)
{
$place_holder_length = mb_strlen($place_holder);
$first_part_length = floor(($maxlength - $place_holder_length) / 2);
$second_starting_location = $length - $maxlength + $first_part_length
+ $place_holder_length;
$str = mb_substr($str, 0, $first_part_length) . $place_holder .
mb_substr($str, $second_starting_location);
}
return $str;
}
I also wonder if the place holder "..." is a candidate for localization.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi all, I searched the tickets but didn't see this anywhere so I thought I bring it up.
Using RC 0.3.1 and Google Chrome 4.0.249.43 there are a couple display bugs I've noticed.
1. When first loading the login screen the gray background doesn't paint the entire widow. But if I adjust the window size, it seems to correct itself.
2. In the compose view (and reply/forward), the main text area for the body of the email doesn't extend to the bottom of the window, as it would in other browsers.
I know, not huge defects, but given that Chrome now has stepped up to third place in the browser wars (bypassing Safari for the first time) I figured it would be worth looking into.
I'm attaching screenshots for both of these.
// Andres.

Hi All,
I remember seeing an issue on the list for a problem with downloading attachments on RC 0.3.1 with IE7 over HTTPS. The problem doesn't occur when using HTTP. Safari and Firefox have no issues. I've searched the list (with and without google) but can't seem to find any matches on RC 0.3.1 and IE7 with attachments over HTTPS.
Can someone please point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Br,
Dennis

Hello!
I'm sending a slovene translation of labels.inc and messages.inc again.
I've made 2 typos in the string names.
Please commit the corrections.
Thanks,
Barbara

Hello all of you
If you login to RC with the same email adress, but with an other
Servername, RC creates a new user. That means, you'll lose your settings
and your contact information and the other informations, that are
related to a user (cache, pluginsettings). The database also stores some
redundant datas. I'm wondering if there a reason, why the it makes sense
to create multiple account for the same emailadresse. I don't see the
advantage.
If the name of the email server changes, your account settings are gone.
At the moment there is no way to map this accounts. And the user don't
understand the diffence if the entered mail.mydomain.com or mydomain.com
and afterwards his contact are gone.
Thanks
Dominic Lüchinger

Hi there
I'd like to get some facts and figures about how and where you people use
Roundcube and what number of users access their mails via Roundcube. We
already have a list of hosters who offer
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/RoundCube but this might not be complete and
it lacks any numbers.
We often get requests about this topic and I'd like to give some proven
answers about the power of Roundcube when used in large-scale environments.
So please post some details about how you use Roundcube including:
- Number of users (max)
- Average of concurrent users
- Number of hosts serving Roundcube
- Database backend software
- IMAP backend software
- Other webmail software which is offered as alternative
Please also note if you would be willing to share your experience about the
integration of Roundcube in your environment with people who ask us for help.
Thanks a lot!
Thomas
