Hi, the problem with courier-imap (and similar IMAP servers) is known. I've included part of some mails that went to the list a little earlier.

I would also like to ask Thomas solving the courier-imap problems a top priority. I looked into hacking it myself, but as other people have also experienced (and as he mentions below), the imap_root stuff goes pretty deep, and I would rather Thomas handle this himself.. or at least someone with much more knowledge of the codebase than myself.

Currently you have to change this in a few places, including the skin.

I will submit a change (later tonight, still at work) so that this

prefix has to only be set once in the main config file.

...

Also, I believe that it is possible to retrive this prefix from imap

• I know thunderbird allows you to set it, but also defaults to a "allow

server override" for the folder prefix.

...

Does anyone know further details on this?

Yes, you can get the prefic from the IMAP server. This is done with the function iil_C_NameSpace() in program/lib/imap.inc

In the latest CVS version, this is done (see rcube_imap.inc) but it does not set the 'imap_root' property because this would mean that the main INBOX folder is not accessible from RoundCube. I have to change the behavior of that 'imap_root' (which is quite deep) setting first. To fix this properly will take a wile...

Hi!

I just installed RoundCube and everything seems to work fine except for two things:

1. I use bincimap as my imap server with the maildir++ depot (same as

courier-imap), which stores all the users folders in the INBOX.

If I leave imap_root empty in the config (as is the default) all the folders are shown as being under the INBOX, but the Sent, Drafts and Trash folders are not assigned icons.

If I change imap_root to "INBOX/" the folders are shown with correct icons but the Inbox disappears from the list and cannot be selected!

2. I use qmail with vmailmgr as my MTA. I can login fine with virtual

users, but local users seem to generate some kind of loop and I cannot login, it just loads forever. If I check my imap servers logs it shows that the authentification was successful, RoundCubes logs show no errors and neither do the apache-logs.

I also have SquirrelMail installed and it works flawlessly as do stand-alone clients like Mozilla Thunderbird.

I realise that RoundCube is still in its infancy but the project looks very promising already! Alas I'm not a programmer, so I cannot contribute to the project (except with bug-reports ;).

Best regards!

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll just wait for a fix then. :)

I checked the archive at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40lists.roundcube.net/info.html

But it only goes back a couple of weeks. I also took the liberty to send subscription requests to the following mailing-list archives:

Hi !!

I can confirm, that the Courier support has top priority. The project was started just to fit my personal needs and I didn't know that other IMAP servers act different as mine does. Since this is still an early alpha version, we cannot guarantee full support for all servers (haven't tested them yet).

Now I have access to a Courier server and have to change the behavior of the imap_root property from the ground up.

I also have a courier-imap server, the cvs version works fine without any modification as far as i have tested it (really not too much). I can help in anything you want.

2. I use qmail with vmailmgr as my MTA. I can login

fine with virtual users, but local users seem to generate some kind of loop and I cannot login, it just loads forever. If I check my imap servers logs it shows that the authentification was successful, RoundCubes logs show no errors and neither do the apache-logs.

I also have SquirrelMail installed and it works flawlessly as do stand-alone clients like Mozilla Thunderbird.

Similarly, I use qmail and was previously using IMP without any problems.

I installed RoundCube last night and all seemed well, but this morning I get a loop whenever I try to log in. This is true for all accounts, all of which are local users.

The MySQL processes shows that RoundCube connects but then sleeps. Unfortunately I don't have access to any other logs at the moment.

Is this a known bug and is there a fix available/planned?

Thanks
