Roundcube and Accessibility
by Paul Boddie 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hello, I have recently had reason to look at Roundcube's accessibility support, particularly for blind and visually impaired users who might consider using Roundcube with a screen reader. I am not in this audience, but I have been attempting to make myself more aware of projects, initiatives and specifications particularly related to Web development and accessibility. It has not escaped my attention that Roundcube is often deployed alongside other solutions, typically to offer users the choice of webmail client where Roundcube is perhaps regarded as the most "desktop-like", and other clients such as Horde and SquirrelMail are regarded as being less fancy. Some examples: https://calmail.berkeley.edu/ http://www.cms.hu-berlin.de/dl/kommunikation/email/webmail It did make me wonder whether the less "fancy" alternatives are being used because they offer a more accessible experience to screen reader users. As part of an evaluation of Kolab and Roundcube, I have been taking a look at the Roundcube interface in conjunction with accessibility tools such as Fangs [1], Orca [2] and Read2Me [3], also looking at the consensus around accessible Web application design. I also searched the mailing lists for discussion around accessibility issues with Roundcube, but found only the following things: http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1484257 http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1487041 It has been difficult to find much discussion in the last five years on the topic, and so I'm hoping to get some opinions on this matter now to see if anything needs doing and could be done fairly easily to improve Roundcube in this respect. To get started, I have been looking at what Fangs produces for the Roundcube calendar plugin provided with a full Kolab installation, trying to identify basic properties of the interface that could be enhanced to offer a potentially more navigable and accessible experience. According to various Web accessibility guides, exposing headings, page structure and links are all things that help people with screen readers. Roundcube uses headings quite successfully already, for example, although I haven't yet been able to assess how this translates to an improved screen reader experience. (My intention is to evaluate the experience with Orca and to try and devise concrete suggestions for improvements.) Another topic that has become prominent in recent times is that of the WAI-ARIA specifications/technologies. It appears that jQuery annotates elements in the DOM with ARIA attributes, but I haven't really investigated the specific Roundcube support for ARIA. It would be interesting to hear perspectives on such technologies from members of this list. At the moment, I'm really just testing the waters for the potential to improve Roundcube in this way. I'm not a major PHP/JavaScript developer, and the realm of Web accessibility is also rather new to me (in depth), but I'd like to know if developers on this list perceive any shortcomings of Roundcube in this regard and whether there might be convenient ways to make it better.

Roundcube Popups (IE9)
by Michael Heydekamp 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Scenario: Popups are blocked in IE9. Double clicking on a message opens the message in a new popup window without any warning fom IE9. Pressing Enter on the same message does not open the message, but brings up a warning message of IE9, that Popups are blocked. Is this different behaviour a Roundcube or an IE9 issue?

Re: [RCD] sig dashes broken in 1.0-git?
by Michael Heydekamp 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Arne, uh, I must admit that this standard (?) with three sig dashes (without WSP) for top-posted replies is totally new to me, thanks for the input. Is this documented somewhere (RFCs)...? And what's the sense of and reason for it? My default setting is indeed top-posting, because most people I'm in touch with, are unfortunately not familiar with inline quoting. The problem is, that, depending on the person I'm replying to, I do not always use top-posting. In those cases I'm moving the the sig to the bottom of the mail. This would lead to a sig with three dashes at the bottom, so I would have to remove one of them manually, whenever I'm moving a sig to the bottom. Not very convenient... So I think it's better to include a two-dashes-separator in the sig (as I had it before) and always use this one, no matter if top or bottom. Fortunately, RC doesn't touch this, when being part of the sig. But as we speak, I'd like to emphasize again my proposal to have an option in the addressbook, in which way I want to reply to this particular person.

create folders from mail view
by Phil Weir 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hi, I have been looking into adding an option for quick folder creation from the mail view. Something like adding a "create folder" option to the contextmenu plugin. I think I remember some talk about this a little while ago but I cannot find anything on the list. I think the UI would be similar to the one used for adding groups in the addressbook. At the moment the folder creation functions are heavily linked into the folders settings page - sending AJAX requests to refresh it etc every time. My idea is to move the code to create and update folders into separate functions and then call those functions in save_folder.inc but also if would allow other things like plugins to reuse the code. Is this something that is interesting to people and more importantly acceptable to the devs? Thanks, Phil

Small glitch with Settings/Preferences/User_Interface/Refresh
by Michael Heydekamp 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

We just moved from a dedicated server to a managed server at df.eu (domainfactory) and therefore had to freshly create all our users on the new system. Checking the config defaults of these users after first login, the "Refresh" setting under Preferences/User_Interface was by default set to "never". When this setting is manually changed within Roundcube to "every 1 minute(s)" and being saved by clicking the Save button, it does indeed first look as if it would have been saved. But if you later look again at the User Interface page (after you checked all other pages such as "Mailbox view" etc.), Refresh is still set to "never". You need to change and save it a second time. All other settings of that page (Language, Time zone etc.) are correctly saved at first attempt. Even the option "every 60 minute(s)" of the Refresh item is correctly saved at the first attempt, just not the option "every 1 minute(s)". (Well, to be honest, I didn't check all options, just "1" and "60".) This applies to 0.9.1 [GIT 20130602.1444] with classic skin, didn't check 1.0-git (yet).

Saving "Special Folders" breaks custom sort order of special folders
by Michael Heydekamp 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Just found that small glitch: The sort order of special folders is customized in the config this way (different to the default sort order): > $rcmail_config['default_folders'] = array('INBOX', 'INBOX.Sent', 'INBOX.Drafts', 'INBOX.Trash', 'INBOX.Junk'); This is being reflected in the database this way: s:15:"default_folders";a:5:{i:0;s:5:"INBOX";i:1;s:10:"INBOX.Sent";i:2;s:12:"INBOX.Drafts";i:3;s:11:"INBOX.Trash";i:4;s:10:"INBOX.Junk"; } All OK. But when I (accidentally or deliberately) save the page "Special Folders", the custom sort order in the database is being replaced with the default sort order, although config and database are telling different. This is not by design, is it...? Cheers, -- Michael Heydekamp Co-Admin freexp.de Düsseldorf/Germany

sig dashes broken in 1.0-git?
by Michael Heydekamp 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

I used to include the sig dashes "-- " in all o my my signatures, but as I realized today, Roundcube will add them anyway (if not existent). So I removed them in all signatures of all of my identities. This leads to the following behaviour: 1) Composing a new message: All OK. 2) Replying to to a message: Roundcube creates THREE sig dashes instead of two ("---"), and without the mandatory WSP at the end of the string. Strange, uh...? Cheers, -- Michael Heydekamp Co-Admin freexp.de Düsseldorf/Germany
