hi,

the attachment contains the answers to the question

"What is the main problem in FelaMiMail?


robert


ps: if anybody wants these comments in a more convenient format i can send him/her an excel-file.

ÿþNo multiaccounts, i found no button to 
move mail into another folder.

configuration!!!

unprofessional(sorry), too buggy, too 
many non-existing necess functions

Chinese&POP3 support

yes, but anglemail was better. there 
are some quite useful functions missing 
like: gpg encryption/signing, 
key-management, return-receips, i am 
not quite sure if multiple accounts and 
aliasing works.... 

(felamimail) slow imap because of 
database cache

"(main problem in fmail?!): only a 
""basic"" mailclient - lack of features 
like ""drafts""/""templates"", view 
attached images (probably others) 
inline, addressbook interface is a pain 
in the ass (HEAD is very promising 
here!), sorting of mail in folder view 
(date/time of arrival, date/time of 
sending -- important when mail gets 
moved via IMAP), selectable date/time 
formats when viewing folders, and many 
more small features"

it doesn´t support pop3 and more than 
one account - bad design look at 
anglemail thats perfect

Needs support for multiple Accounts, 
else it\'s kinda nice

automatic filter with moving 
possibilities, []feedback about 
delivery, sometimes character encoding

only one account

basic setup, documentation

No drafts / that there is no automatic 
subscription to new imap folders

configuration, system requirements

Authentification Setup

don't know

Stability, though this is probably a 
function of the mail server too.

no problem

slow

to slow, subscribing folders does not 
work correct, no multiple accounts

keine empfangsbestätigung möglich

Not able to add account, not able to 
use some function like: Receipt, logo 
in signature, etc...

lack of features. good way but too 
restricted

no read receipt code (sending or 
requesting), no forward inline

"missing some basic functions of an 
email client, reading confirmaions, 
e.g.; show appended files, when 
printing a mail"

can't accept more than one account

FelaMiMail is very good! But 
application IMP of the Horde has much 
more resources of the type filtering of 
email with rules, publisher of email in 
format HTML, the IMP in allows to add 
them 1 more than (one) catalogues of 
addresses, and this still lacks in 
eGroupWare.

oddities in configuration(virtul e-mail 
domains ...)

Sometimes it doesn\'t show html mails 
correctly

Being able to configure several imap 
accounts on 1 eGroupWare account

no filters -- this is *really* terrible

Not a look and feel like Outlook

No possility to save draft

The other email app is what I use...the 
Felamimail I have only ever gotten to 
connect once to Imap Server

spellcheck! Drafts folder, attachments

configuration problems

Not just 1 problem, no pop support, not 
multi account, problems with HTML

Not possible to group mails by from 
filed, not possible to sort by read 
unread, not possible to resize the 
different layouts, the main problem is 
the lack of a configurable interface.

i have no visible trash

characterset conversion system doesn't 
work, i'm not using

problem with utf8

box not create

I really like the old email - in the 
Contributer zip

Very basic functionality compared to 
hastymail or Horde IMAP

never really got it to work with the 
existing mail infrastructure

it's just to complicated to maintain

needs support for multiple imap 
accounts

problem with greek chars 
(htmlentities), single mail account, 
problems with second mail server 

Couldn't figure out how to set it up. I 
would like ro see it more like a G-mail 
account. I am using the other e-mail 
application ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) provided.

didnt work well with mercury 

should have a lot of missing function 
like autocompletion, html edition and 
more stability

Its very simple - moregroupware has an 
very good email app.

"""Simply click the target-folder"" is 
rather dangerous - it's easy to 
accidentally move things to the wrong 
place (especially because the 
dynamically inserted text makes the 
tree move down a row sometimes)"

working with attachments

i can't install it

no pgp support

Felamimail is instable

Folder management

cannot use imaps with untrusted 
certificates

search possibilities are very limited. 
Eg i'd like to search all posts that i 
have not opened

lack of features

I can't delete messages. I have to move 
them to trash manually. (Using dovecot 
as imap-server)

bad html viewing

Autoconfiguration (especially 
autosubscribe to imap mailbox)

POP3 support is discountinued

does not support pop3

Drawing of teh screen for folders in 
IMPA is soemtimes incorrect

All the application

No HTML mails, sorting fails, skipping 
sometimes fails, not reliable

There is no way to save a draft of an 
email

Not very beautiful

Anglemail is better and should be 
supported.

Conect pop3 problems

I use UTF-8 encoding and when see a 
messag it is wery narrow

None - I use Outlook & Exchange

not write messages in html

pictures in icons instead of text 
commands

finding and adding a contact

only using one Imap 

Installation

no intelligent installation hard to 
setup

html mail compatibility

speed/folder management

popup windows and navigation

no html-mail editor functions (it is 
included in some other other eGW 
modules, why not in FelaMiMail !?), 
filter functions didn't work sometimes

no problem

No spell check and does not seem like a 
finished product

Very limited (# accounts to manage, 
formats, draft, not linked to other 
apps)

I think things can be a bit vague for 
the end user on how to use it

missing ajax :-)

only one IMAP account available, no way 
to have more

more user friendly

I'd like to read mail from 2nd IMAP 
server

imap support to exchange server

configuration

No auto-completion in addressbook 
(GMail AJAX style)

Do not know how to save a draft email 
in the draft folede. There is no spell 
checker

No possibility to order by read or 
unread

no possibility to save drafts / icons 
in felamimail could use texts (tooltips 
aren't always working)

less web 2.0 technology

only one E-Mail account, problems with 
HTML mails

imap , configuration , error handling

Can´t make it work properly

Not real problem

No ability to compose HTML emails, as a 
techie this is not needed but when 
trying to present emails to clients I 
like the use of HTML format.

to many problems with attachments

IMAP-Conf is a pain-in-the-ass : From 
the admin-perspective we need 1 Site to 
set every account)

too slow

imap only

we have problems with attachments

Bedienung (Drag & Drop), 

no probs but perhaps the preview if a 
mail pops up a new window

Keine Empfangsbestätigung, Anhänge 
verschwinden

interface is to small, but icon is good 
!

Only one Inbox 

Can't read PGP signed messages

Columns disappear when in 800x600

very small function

Filters, Accounts

Unusable with more than 2000 mails or 
100 folders

Less features and difficult to setup

Configuration - Many Providers haven' 
IMAP

No help in trouble shooting IMAP 
connection, should support multiple 
mail servers per user

The folders manager

should allow for a preview panel. 
should allow for multiple imap accounts 
in the same window

It is less powerfull than 
'Thunderbird', for 'Roadworrior' OK. 
Only addressbook handling too 
complicated

the folder tree consumes too much space

Layout and configuration

administration no documentation

setup pop3

missing html compose

somtimes html-mails could not be shown 
and pdfs are corrupt

Too basic

No indication for new messages in the 
FelaMiMail application only on the 
Home-Screen

I have problems installing it

It\'s not actual now, so I cannot say 
anything at the moment but we will use 
it later.

i changed to anglemail, because 
felamimail was to slow forking whit 
imap server

sometimes we problem in editing the 
folders.

Didn't used enough yet

can't move messages between accounts - 
can't flag messages - can't mark 
messages as unread

impossible to use pop3

No multiple accounts

*If* you got it running the first time 
... besides: I have not figured out how 
to move messages

WISIWIG HTML EDITOR !!!

"the foldertree is f*ck - he eats ""all 
my space"" and i have no space for the 
mail-sumary, the tree also makes the 
page slow loading - it is a TOY - a 
pulldown for folder-choose would be 
nice"

imap support was poor...now is 
better..test with hmailserver is poor

Performance

did not get it working, looks like a 
weak mail client anyway

does'nt work for me

could not install

Getting it working

Using AngleMail - because support of 
multiple Accounts for one user = 
problem in FelaMiMail

hard to connect to IMAP server

maybe some ajax would like to make it 
faster in use - like roundcube

on some computers the popup does not 
come up, after clicking on the email

The database is too big with IMAP 
connection

displaying images or maybe I don't know 
how to make it works with html_mails 

only one profile (reply adress)

Should be replaced with Angle mail

Bugs de php que confunden al usuario 
pues se muestran antes de la ventana de 
eGroupWare

sign up folders from other user is tot 
difficult / not possible. mail preview 
only after opening a mail, in every 
other mailapplication this is automatic 
by clicking on the headline of the mail

not much verbose with mail problems

3 days to configure it :)

limited functionality / spell check 
missing / html messages / forwarding 
multiple emails

the last time I checked, you can only 
have access to one Imap account.  In 
the tree you should be able to access 
multiple accounts.

Don't like the GUI.. :-)

It becomes slow

only useable for imap mail servers...

very few options of configuration

two exchange server per mapi doesn't 
work well, German Charactesrs in 
Exchange Folder names garbled. (Also: 
Look at outlook web access.)

No Problem

no problem to report

no easy way to see how many unread 
mails are in one folder

"imap only; one account only, a lot of 
iso-8859-2 or utf8 character problems"

Spell-Checker missing so far (didn't 
find a way to integrate one)

Need support for multiple servers and 
linking email messages to contacts and 
calendar items.

Can't use it due to platrorm pb

i don´t use

speed

Conection with POP3 server

Cannot setup filters to automatically 
move e-mails

cannot link mails to projects

setting up IMAP

No connection with InfoLOG. No Sieve.

doesn't work at all in version 1.2

IE 5.x (Firefox/Linux is fine!)

Could not get to work well with 
exchange

not as feature rich as the old mail 
application

If users have quotas enforced for their 
email, the display gets wrapped around 
poorly to show the users quota, and it 
doesn't show very well at 800X600

need more options on cfg for login 
defaults, and a wizard for each user on 
1st use (user may or may not have email 
on localhost, and it may or may not be 
the smae domain name). This is an 
administrative nightmare, as it 
requires handholding for most every 
user. Also, since 1.2 (and a diff 
server) I haven't been able to make it 
access a remote IMAP server

Does not work on our setup

difficulty to install and configure 

Filters do not allow for creating rules 
that will move mail into separate 
folders. Lack of server side spell 
checking is also an issue.

"Limited to IMAP only. The ""E-Mail"" 
module allows for multiple mails 
systems and types (IMAP,POP, etc.)"

maps

Never did get the cyrus server working. 
But It might not be an egw issue. I use 
another server for email so it does not 
matter to me.

HTML e-mail, RFC2231 Attachments, 
Contacts autocomplete... This is the 
BIG problem in e-Groupware, he doesnt 
have a good e-mail system, like others 
GWs (horde/imp for example)

No multiple account support

i have problems connecting to imap. 
Probably server or installation related

Does not support utf-8 (Polish), at 
least in ver. 1.0

Doesn't look modern, missing lots of 
funcionality, unable to use text 
formating.

It takes a lot of resources (that's why 
I use squirrelmail)

handling of embedded pictures , no 
creation of HTML-Mails possible

not as comfortably operated as 
Thunderbird

speed

Multiple IMAP Accounts

Cannot manage multiple domains

Havn't gotten it to work on my sever 
yet (IMAP extensions)

can't add external mail account

no multi-account

localization

HTML emails don't seem to display 
correctly

unable to add multipal imap mail 
servers

Attachments

Settings!!! Should be easyer to set 
server...as in OUTLOOK for example...

i don´t use imap

I have a mailbox on a MAPI server.  It 
is effectively too large for FelaMiMail 
to load.  Can FelaMiMail be optimzed or 
improved to support large mailboxes.

filters like in Email, can't send large 
mail, can't have multiple accounts

only english language

if a mail folder contain a dot, the 
word after the dot is seen as subfolder 


I cannot place date, addresser,subject 
etc. in my own order.

No sender notification, usability (ajax 
would make it easier)

to add or save more than one File or 
send up more than one Mail to an other 
one

no accustic signal 

only one imap account

View of html-mails 

it need a counter of the new mail near 
the subfolders (see squirrelmail for 
example)

complicated filters

the handling with an appendix at the 
email, that I can't mark any appendix

Redundantece with existing notes 
enviroment

I don't know what this is

Formatting and attachments

Foreign characters in (IMAP) folder 
names causes problems

Doesn't handle HTML mail very well. 
Doesn't show images...

Images are not displayed in the mail's 
body

write html mail

I cannot have different e-mail accounts 
in FelaMiMail like in Angelmail

Configuration!

problem with connection

"my problem is to set up an imap-Server 
;-)"

I need multiple IMap accounts per user

Support for public folders could be 
better

AJAX!!! drag and drop... come on, it is 
ugly!! HTML composition? type and 
choose address?

needs options to configure look

No major problem. But filters to 
automatically move mail between folders 
would be great. No session timeout 
because of automatic reload.

I dont know how to configure it (not 
user manual)

no treebased folder navigation

It doesn't work with opera mini on my 
cell phone.

sieve support does not work with 
existing scripts

It's way to out of date insofar as 
features when comparing to any other 
web based email client.

You can´t see the E-Mail-Adresses which 
you have choosen. If you have more the 
one adress you can´t search for it so 
easy, because you can´t use the mouse 
for it.

Lack of multiple accounts , 
configuration interface is awkward

too simple, i think that it need more 
features

We had a hard time getting the 
username/password to work.  We ended up 
just creating a link to our webmail 
(Scalix.)

Filters are buggy, no POP 

Can't handle multi-language well

russian filenames in attachments

Not possible to increase the numer of 
mail per page

La configuration de l'application

cant configure imap

no save to draft or spell check

better support for many email accounts

no drag'n'drop, no rules set

look

embedded css issues

Missing support for pgp/gpgp/smime, no 
support for multipe mailboxes

setup

we use email - multiple accounts - pop

Subfolder support is lacking.  Namely, 
(1) the ability to see the number of 
unread messages in a folder from the 
left pane, (2) the lack of a page 
showing all unread messages [like 
rudimentary search folders support], 
and (3) the ability to only search 
within the active folder.

no rules to process coming emails, no 
spam protection

Cannot install on Windows using MSSQL 
or MySQL.

no sieve filter admin

customization new accounts and kode 
page 

kinda slow, needs an html editor that 
won't piss off firefox

How do you specify more than one 
account, I'd like to use several 
accounts, dependant of who I am 
answering (ie. work, private)

address completion, GPG sigs would be 
nice.

NO SSL TLS - not working with our mail 
server
