I'm a bit confused about this - you seem to be saying that
Squirrelmail won't work on PHP 5? I've been running it on PHP 5 for
years and it's being maintained to support changes for the latest 5.4
and 5.5 releases.
My experience with squirrel on PHP 5.x has been that it won't show
every message in the webmail users inbox. People complained about lost
mails and after checking spam filtering etc. I realised that the mails
had arrived into inbox safely. After asking the clients to test
another mail client - Thunderbird, Live mail, etc. The "lost" mails
were there. That prompted for pretty fast substitution of squirrel
with something else.
Roundcube with it's snazzy javascript interface is neat, but many
mobile/tablet browsers scale the display instead of doubleclicking.
Sadly there is no free mobile theme for Roundcube, but every single
one of those cost money.
That leaves Imp as the only alternative left, especially if you avoid
ToySQL like a plague.
I see. I've got it running on several servers, and have done for many
years - and I've never experienced any problems or had them reported to
me. I can't be sure, but I think I've only ever run it on PHP5 and
nearly always on FreeBSD. One of the reasons I've stuck with it is that
it's reliable and friendly to all browsers, and I use it for fixing
user's mailbox problems. I've been playing around with Roundcube for a
few months as an alternative - users like the way it looks.
FWIW I'm using Dovecote 1 or 2 for the IMAP. In particular, Dovecot 1
with Squirrelmail has been really hammered, but has never broken. I
sometimes get time-outs copying thousands of emails in one hit, but
that's fair enough and nothing has ever been lost. Could the server be
the problem in your case? I found the standard imapd did weird things
for a lot of clients, and making the switch after many years of trying
to blame the client software was a really good decision.
Regards, Frank.
