First off, it's looking really good. On the server side, I've had no issues with this build.
What has happened though is that in Firefox 1.0.7, clicking on a folder (to say, switch from displaying my Inbox to displaying my Sent messages) doesn't seem to work (or do anything at all for that matter). In the new Firefox 1.5 build this issue doesn't exist - but anything with the earlier Gecko engine would be effected (Netscape, Mozilla Seamonkey, etc.)

Hi everybody
After two days of intensive coding (now my girlfriend is offended) I
finally rebuilt the caching mechanism which caused many problems and
performance issues. Therefore a new database table (messages) was
created. There also have been minor changes to the database so please
check the SQL scripts.
Together with the new caching process, server side sorting was also
implemented. When showing the message list, only one page is retrieved
from the server and cached.The message cache is complete, after every
page has been loaded once. After that, RC attempts just to synchronize
the changes. Even if the cache is not complete the loading time should
decrease since there's only the message index transmitted and already
cached headers will not be reloaded. For further development I will try
to start a child process to fetch all message headers in the background
but not making the interface wait for it.
The new caching implementation is not tested well and that's why I would
like the experienced RoundCube administrators and developers to try out
the latest CVS. Because the public CVS repository updates several hours
or days later, I added a snapshot here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/roundcubemail/roundcubemail-cvs-20051203.tar.gz?download
I also reworked the database class and tested RoundCube with MySQL,
SQLite and Postgres. All initial SQL scripts have been updated and RC
should now work correctly with Postgres. Probably there could be some
optimization with Postgres but I'm not very familiar with it.
For all Postgres users out there, please test RoundCube and don't
hesitate to post bugs or suggestions here.
Last but not least, I have included the patch for signatures (thanks
Craig) and added a drop-down with a charset selection when composing a
message. I know that there are still some issues with character encoding
especially when getting things over XMLHTTP.
Well, that's it for the moment. Next I'll take care of the message
searching functionality and after that I think we're ready for an
official Beta release.
Thanks for your patience!
Thomas
P.S. The MDB2 implementation is currently broken and the library is not
included in the package.
