Safe Mode and mail() function
by David Fontaine 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hello, I ran into some trouble when trying to make RoundCube work with the mail() function : when PHP is set to run in Safe Mode, the mail() function won't accept the 5th parameter. I think that this 5th parameter is not mandatory so I removed it (program/steps/mail/sendmail.inc, line 199) and it's now perfectly working. Before : $sent = mail($mailto, $msg_subject, $msg_body, $header_str, "-f$from"); Now : $sent = mail($mailto, $msg_subject, $msg_body, $header_str); I thought it could be helpful to someone so I wanted to tell the mailing list about that.

Fwd: Minor bug in 0.1-20051021 (newest release)
by David Fontaine 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Same problem here. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Minor bug in 0.1-20051021 (newest release) Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 10:08:33 -0500 From: Wolf(a)curd.lolerskates.com, Jon <wolf(a)domojo.com> To: dev(a)lists.roundcube.net I noticed a minor bug in today's release. Clicking on the Inbox folder (in the folder list to the left) in the main mail screen, causes no messages to be shown. For example click on the sent folder, then click back on the inbox and nothing will be shown. The only way to restore the inbox is to click on the address book or settings, then back on the email button on the upper toolbar. I can reproduce this bug in Firefox 1.07 and Opera 8.5. Thanks again for the continued work on this great piece of software! Cheers, Jon

Nightly build of RoundCube (0.1-20051021)
by Thomas Bruederli 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hi everybody, There were many bug reports and discussions about problems with RoundCube posted in the last two weeks. Now we have fixed some of the most important bugs and can announce a new release. It does not include any new functions :-( but brings some visual enhancements with it. Support for Courier IMAP should now be better and RoundCube now 'really' supports SSL connections to IMAP servers. Then we moved the taskbar (many people could not live with it) to the upper right corner of the browser window. This may also solve some scrolling issues. Then we got some new translations in Swedish, Latvian, Portuguese and Brasilian which were added to the new release. Thanks to all the translators. For further details please check the release notes at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=365053 Attention for all Courier users: If you're upgrading from a previous release, make sure you remove the INBOX. prefix from the 'sent_mbox' and 'trash_mbox' config parameter. You can also remove the 'imap_root' parameter because this is now retrieved from the server. Enjoy! Thomas

Incorrect naming of INBOX with UW-IMAP
by Julian Field 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I unfortunately still have a UW-IMAP server which I can't replace. I have just installed the new release and it is working nicely, but for one thing. The root folder prefix is put at the start of the "INBOX" as well as at the start of all other folders, which is wrong. Our root folder prefix is "~/Mail/". It ends up creating a file ~/Mail/INBOX as well as the (correct) other folders called things like ~/Mail/Testing. It just needs a little extra test to not add the root folder prefix onto the INBOX.

Re: Courier IMAP issues
by Robert Landes 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

-Update- I just gave it a try on one of our test servers also running Debian Sarge, but this time I used dovecot IMAPd. With this set, everything runs smoothly. It solves BOTH issues. But I guess it is worth investigating why it doesn't work with Courier IMAP, as Courier is the widest spread IMAPd in use. There are some questions I have: 1) Does anybody have this release (20051007) up and running with Courier without those two problems mentioned below? If yes, what OS and what Courier version are you using and are you using Maildir-mailbox format? 2) Any experience with other IMAP servers so far? I think it is very important to be compatible to all major IMAP servers (Courier, Cyrus, UW and dovecot) although from my point of view _only_ dovecot and Courier should be used in production environment. But I guess that's just a matter of (good) taste ;-) P.S.: What I also realized when switching to dovecot is that the performance is far better than with Courier, which is probably because of the index "databases" used by dovecot for every mailbox / Maildir folder. I did not realize _any_ performance difference with caching enabled or disabled. But mailbox holds only 500 messages ... Best regards, Rob P.S.S.: Did not introduce my self so far ...

New Roundcube Install
by Bryant Noice 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hi, i just installed Roundcube on my mail server (FreeBSD 5.4, Apache 2.0.54, PHP 5.0.3, MySql 4.1, Qmail, vpopmail, yadda, yadda). Install worked like a champ. The UI is excellent - great use of Ajax for a rich client experience with a simple and (reasonably) intuitive UI. My only nit to pick is that, while RC renders great on IE and Firefox, in Safari, the subject runs over the sender if the subject line is long. (this is with the default column layout - subject, sender, date and size). Of course, Safari is a small percentage of the browsing public, but I thought I'd let you know. Thanks, Bryant Noice

Bug with Message list
by John M. Brown 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

BUG: (I wasn't sure the best place to send this.) I just upgraded to the 10/21 dev release... the upper-right corner of the email message list shows "Messages 1 to 40 of 74" with arrows on either side. I cannot click on those errors in Firefox 1.0.7. This means I can only see the first 40 messages in my inbox.

Configuration Request
by The DUdeMaN dAvE 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Regarding the login page: I have a site which is now using roundcube. The actual IMAP server is housing several different domains for mail exchange (more technically I believe mail.domain.com <http://mail.domain.com> gets routed to one server, where 'domain' could be several domains). The problem this creates is that on the login screen it is necessary for users to specify which domain they have an account on. So, for my username, I would put in 'webadmin(a)domain.com' (assuming 'domain.com <http://domain.com>' is my domain of course), instead of just my username. Anybody using this particular roundcube interface is going to also be from 'domain.com<http://domain.com>' and thus, it becomes pointless to have to specify the domain each time. I suggest an option in the config file for automatically appending a string (in this case, my domain name) to the username that is put into the text box. This would be very helpful and perhaps might even act as a security measurement: only people from certain domains can login. I haven't had time to look into the code myself and it's been awhile since I've programmed PHP, but I would be willing to implement this and submit a patch file or something. It just might take awhile for me. Let me know what you think, and if it sounds like a valid feature to add, I'll join the mailing list and do what I can to help with the development of it. Much thanks, David L. erdmaN II (the dudeMAN davE _)

Re: Javascript-Error and timeout Problem
by Patrick Vogt 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I figured out what the source of my javascript problem was, maybe soneone has this to, so I'll post the solution here. PROBLEM: Login in with firefox always fails with a javascript error. Error: missing ) after condition Source File: ../js/app.js Line: 2212, Column: 6 Source Code: this.request_obj = new NULL I fixed this one with adding activeX = window.ActiveXObject; in the first line of the this.http_request function (around line 2200 in app.js) and then changed else if (window.ActiveXObject) to: else if (activeX) a few lines later After that, roundcube-login worked well (With IE 6 && FF 1.0.7)! SOLUTION: At my office, I'm sittin behind a very strict firewall(proxyserver), which deletes all occurences of potentially dangerous things like "window.ActiveXObject" out of the source code. That's all. I you can implement my workaround as posted above, I and maybe others won't have any more troubles with tight proxies in the future.

Hi! I just installed Roundcube to give it a try. However, it looks like it has problem with my inbox (around 8000 messages). Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2049 bytes) in .../roundcubemail/program/lib/imap.inc on line 104 I first had some problems logging in to my IMAP server via SSL. However it now works using a non-SSL connection. Any ides? Cu, Gunnar

Inbox Refresh
by Brian Steere 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

A Bug: I have noticed that when I recieve a new email while logged into Roundcube occassionally the folder listing on the left will update to say that I have a new message, but will not display it in the message pane. An Idea: Is there any way to have Roundcube periodically check for new mail? Currently it doesn't seem to and that would be a most useful feature. ~Brian

Filter patch
by David Koblas 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Got playing around with message processing and the idea of using filter chains to handle the actions. The current system of having huge functions in ../mail/func.inc was a little bit overboard. The basic idea is to have a filter chain for different action types which can process message contents and yeild results. In an ideal world you would have lots of filters and people writting filters. At the moment I've implemented the following two: * header_address -- provide the link highlighter for send message (compatible functionality) * message_display -- address highlighting in text messages (compatible) -- security (not finished, remove script tags, etc.) -- hideImages (the "safe" mode for image display) -- link higlighting for plain text (compatible) -- quoting coloring (compatible) -- date higlighting (new) I thought I would float this out to the group for some feedback while I continue to plug along. The ultimate idea is to have something that when it sees an Address / Date can provide some hook functionality to pull up a Map/Calendar, etc. --koblas ps. Also sitting in this diff is a fix to only cache in the local mysql messages greater than a specific size, since for some larger messages mysql was barfing.

OT: xajax?
by Jeremy Jongsma 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Has anyone looked at xajax (http://xajax.sourceforge.net/)? I don't know much about RoundCube's AJAX framework, but I know there was some talk about restructuring it a bit, so thought I'd throw this out and see if it's any use. It looks pretty interesting from a cursory examination. -j -- Jeremy Jongsma jeremy(a)jongsma.org http://jeremy.jongsma.org

Translation of "special folders" in pull-down menu

What I really like is that special folder thing, which translates the default names into native language and gives those extra icons. Translation should also be implemented within the "move to" pull-down menu. Regards, Rob P.S.: Sorry for HTML mail before

Courier IMAP issues
by Robert Landes 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

What I could investigate so far is that there seems to be some major issues with IMAP handling with Courier IMAP. I already saw some people running into the same problems: 1) Not being able to view unread messages (I get 500 error on our server) which is a problem with the Courier IMAP version being delivered with Debian sarge and RC's IMAP handler class from my guess. 2) Also on my installation the default special IMAP folders like Sent, Trash, and Junk are not shown as "special" as they should be. I didn't find time to investigate neither first nor second issue any closer, but I hope I'll find the time beginning of next week. If somebody has already posted solution or any more detailed description, forget about this one. Regards, Rob

My server: FreeBSD, PHP5 and apache1.3. I installed roundcube following the instructions, created the database and it's tables. The login page works, but after I click "login" nothing happens (keeps loading). There is some data in the DB tables (users & session), but nothing happens. Is there a way to debug the application? thanks, -- rolando -- [[ knowledge is empty, fill it ]] -- "Tam pro papa quam pro rege bibunt omnes sine lege."

Bug Fix
by Mark Roy 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Hello All, This is my first time sending a message to this list, and I hope to become more involved in the development of RoundCube. It is really an awesome client. My name is Mark Roy, and I am a 3rd year Computer Engineering student from the University of Manitoba (Canada). I was actually looking to start a project like this but never had the time. I would love to use this as an opportunity to contribute to the open source community. Anywho, one thing that was absolutely bugging the hell out of me was the fact that when you reply to a message that already has "Re: " in the subject, it would add it in again. Really simple fix, just changed line 406 of program/steps/mail/compose.inc from this: $subject = 'Re: '.$REPLY_MESSAGE['subject']; to this: $subject = ((!preg_match('/^re:/i',$REPLY_MESSAGE['subject']))?'Re: ':'').$REPLY_MESSAGE['subject'];

Javascript-Error and timeout Problem
by Patrick Vogt 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Hi everybody! Heard a lot of good stuff about your project, so I decided to give it a try. I saw 2 major problems, they don't appear wheter on this mailling list nor on the Bugtracker at sourceforge. I know it's still in alpha, but as there are many people out there without these problems, I d'like to know if I am really the only one having this problem. Problem 1: Login in with firefox always fails with a javascript error. Error: missing ) after condition Source File: ../js/app.js Line: 2212, Column: 6 Source Code: this.request_obj = new NULL I fixed this one with adding activeX = window.ActiveXObject; in the first line of the this.http_request function (around line 2200 in app.js) and then changed else if (window.ActiveXObject) to: else if (activeX) a few lines later After that, roundcube-login worked well (With IE 6 && FF 1.0.7)! But there is a second problem: When I click on a different folder than Inbox, roundcube always kicks me out with "Session invalid or timeout" (On IE and FF). The problem with timeout is maybe server related and not a bug, but the thing with the javascript error... I can't believe I'm the only one suffering by this... regards, patrick ________________________________________________ VHCS Webmail

Sorry, I'm new, and couldn't find a past list to look this up. I am having a problem with SMTP auth, communicating with a QMail server. I know it works through Thunderbird, Outlook and OS X mail. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something. I know this is not very descriptive but: SMTP Error in /opt/www/roundcubemail/program/steps/mail/sendmail.inc (178): SMTP error: authentication failure Thanks for any insight.
