Folder name abbreviation in folder list
by White 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

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. White _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Chrome quirks in defaul theme
by Andres Sulleiro 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

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. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Hx/ke4YtPdX/chrome_compose.jpg http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Hx/ke4YtPdX/chrome_login.jpg Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Downloading attachments in IE7 over HTTPS in rc 0.3.1
by Dennis Ortsen 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

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 _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

RC creates multiple Users for different Mailhosts
by Dominic Lüchinger 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

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 _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Survey about Roundcube deployments
by Thomas Bruederli 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

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 _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

This mailing list (hosted at gigo.com) will see delays Dec 22 through Dec 23, as gigo.com goes through a hardware upgrade. During this time posts to lists may be delayed by as much as 24 hours. My intent is to keep this down to a few hours or less. The administrators of the mailing lists have my contact info. End users may check the status of the server by visiting http://status.gigo.com . -Jason Fesler postmaster@ various domains, including the list you're reading this on. _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

SMTP server vs. identity
by Axel Naumann 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Hi, from what I understood, there is not much interest in supporting the configuration of an SMTP server as part of an identity in roundcube. That's perfectly fine thanks to the plugin system, which can make use of the smtp_connect hook. But to use it, this hook needs to tell the plugin what the current identity is, e.g. by passing $from. This approach is a) sort of obvious and b) has been shown to work here <http://nixbioinf.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/roundcubemail-0.3.1_multismtp/>. Attached patch (wrt the trunk) does just that. It simply introduces an optional argument to connect; it's a stripped down version of above patch, moving as much as possible into a future (trivial) plugin. The patch might also fix a general problem where an smtp object exists, but because smtp_init() was called with $connect == false there is no SMTP connection. I know roundcube doesn't do it, but it's theoretically possible - so it should either test for the smtp object being connected or remove the $connect parameter from smtp_init() altogether. Please don't take that patch as is - I did not test it at all, it's a mere suggestion to sketch a possible implementation. I obviously expect no acknowledgment for it :-) Cheers, Axel. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- The following attachments have been detached and are available for viewing. http://detached.gigo.com/rc/Ht/Z9BeoZc3/connect_alias.diff Only click these links if you trust the sender, as well as this message. --- 8< --- detachments --- 8< --- _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

.eml attachments
by Jorge Valdes 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

The more I use RC the more I like it... When the message has an rfc/822 attachment, the only option is to "download" the message and then see it as a text document, or use some other program. I really dont care much one way or another, but for some, not being able to see this message could be seen as a problem. Could this message be retrieved and shown in a new window? Could the user be presented with options to see and download? I have not gotten into the guts (yet) to see how this could be implemented, but since we already download a message and "display" it to the user, I don't think this could be much of a problem. -- Jorge _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
