    Email

    Just a quick question. I want to install RoundCube www.roundcube.net but have found out it's only compatiable with IMAP. Do the VPSs here have IMAP running as default or do i need to set this up? I'm currently using POP for my email....

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Most servers these days support IMAP. If you are using a control panel then chances are extremely good that you are running IMAP.

    Excellent, i'm installing roundcube now and am stuck....

    The guide i'm using is telling me to chown the directory i've created for roundcube, but says to run the following

    chown -R webuser:webuser, i'm guessing it means the username that the domain i'm using for roundcube?

    Is there a command to find out all the users and what groups they belong to in linux?

    Thanks

    1) which control panel are you using?

    2) are you doing a system-wide installation of roundcube?

    Does the control panel you use actually have anything to do with setting it up though? From the guide i've read, all i need to do is chown the webmail folder i've created (i can't figure out what to chown it to), set up a database and edit a couple of config files....

    I didn't think i had to touch my control panel....

    Yes, sounds like it. Go for it.

    Is there a command to find out all the users and what groups they belong to in linux?
    cat /etc/passwd
    cat /etc/group

    I've had a look at the users set up on my system and the domain i'm using doesn't have its own user account. Odd.

    I think i'm going to have to give up on this yet again! :-(

    Is it worth installing yet? Last I looked it had too many issues. I use Nutsmail server wide for production use. It is a skinned version of Squirrel mail. It is not free but for me the cost is worth it. The skin I use looks sharp IMO!

    Here is what the login screen looks like on one of my accounts:

    There are some roundcube mailing list that you can get help on: http://lists.roundcube.net/

    Help can be found here on their forum: http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/inde... 0927d33434d8&

    Could you post some screenshots of the actual webmail layout after login? It's just i've got a few people paying me to host their sites on one of my vps' and i wanted to give them a nicer (looking) webmail client. They haven't said anything i just don't like the look and feel of horde and my vps doesn't have anything else installed.

    I read that roundcube has stability issues but i was told on their forums that the rc1 release is very stable.

    I'm getting it all going on my test vps before doing it on the vps my customer sites is hosted on so i'm pretty free to play.

    I just had a look on the nutsmail site and it's very broken!

    Their pricing page is down.... how much do you pay for it then?

    Go here to see what the skin I use looks like:

    http://www.nutsmail.com/bluehive_skin.htm

    Problems on the page indeed - thus why I dislike dynamically generated websites!

    I do not recall off the top of my head what I paid. I have a record of the transaction at my office at home - not there right now. Can check later - but by then perhaps they will have the site up correctly.

    I have a feeling we will be seeing this all over the web with the death of PHP 4!

    Every client of mine that uses the skinned app as I have it likes it much. It is still Squirrel mail but it looks nice. I have added a few plugins. One that will allow a login without the @domain. in the user name. I like that one.

    It was not that expensive....

    Late to the party, again...

    On Roundcube: You might wanna read this...

    Round Cube Web Mail

    I installed RC on my site last year, but it's so buggy and featureless that I don't use it!

    If you'll pardon the pun, Roundcube's beauty is only skin deep...

    Personally, I prefer SquirrelMail.

    This thread spurred me to try a themed project - I'm installing it right now.

    This won't *look* as good as what Frank recommended, but should prove to be an improvement over what I've been running for several years - raw SM, baby!

    I'll come back over here later and let you know how it worked out...
