Re: decent webmail software - does it exist?

2004-11-19 Thread Robert Cates
If I understand correctly, you have experience with IlohaMail...
I've just installed it, and tested it using the (default) FS backend which 
worked fine.  But then I carefully reconfigured to use a MySQL backend, 
which the DB setup seems to have gone fine, however I can no longer login 
using the same user.  I get "Connection failed: Invalid password".  As far 
as I can tell, it's not a problem with the IlohaMail user I setup to access 
the MySQL DB, since I can see an entry in the DB with the user I'm trying to 
login as.  Any ideas?  I didn't make any drastic config changes, just the 
obvious necessary settings to access the DB.

Thanks!
Robert

I'm not sure which RFC says that at least Subject (but also From, To
and may be others) headers can contain non-ascii text (properly encoded).

And, if you can get away with it, you should be rejecting at the MTA any
message with 8-bit characters in any header.

Since I cannot get away with that, I reject any with more than about 8
characters that are not ASCII. This cleans up an amazing amount of trash,
but still lets through broken messages in the local language (Brazilian
Portuguese).  So far, the filter didn't cause any customer to get pissed
off. It has been active for 2 years now.

Probably all my CJK and Russian customers use proper email software, or
something... there are not many, and the other 99% appreciates the reduction
in spam levels.

Thanks for correcting me.  RFC2047 describes how to encode message
headers.  I thought that MIME would work only for message bodies.

Headers can contain any charset they wish, as long as they are encoded 
properly.

See the subject of this email for an example.

FYI, headers must be in plain ASCII (RFC822).  But I agree that everyone
wants to have a subject in the same language as the body.

well, works but with some flaws. I have installed 1.5.0 development
version, it allows me to reply to emails containing russian text but
it seems to miscalculate lengths of lines with russian text and
because of it those lines are wrapped too often than necessary.

may be it is fixed in CVS, don't know.

Try IlohaMail. It is robust and fast and also multilingual. Looking at 
the demo on their site. It appears to support Russian. Not being Russian 
Speaking myself I can't tell how well it handles it, but it looks 
Russian to me :)

www.ilohamail.org
Then it was OpenWebMail.  It has problems with Subjects containing
russian text.
I've used OpenWebMail, squirrel mail and NOCC all of which I've found to 
be lacking in comparison to Iloha!

Hope that helps.

decent webmail software - does it exist?

2004-11-17 Thread Timur Irmatov
Hi!


As it is said on site of Mutt: "all mail clients suck. this one just
sucks less."  Now I can add to this statement that all webmail
programs suck, and unfortunately I can't find the one that sucks less.
:)

I am russian-speaking person, and thus main requirement for webmail
software is complete and robust support of russian language - both in
interface and emails.

I tried SquirrelMail.  At first look it seems to be pretty good.  But
then I noticed that I can't properly reply to messages containing
russian text if message is encoded in any encoding other than utf-8.
Developers of SquirrelMail say that current version does not support
charset encoding in reply/forward.

Then I tried IMP.  It cannot properly display messages in utf-8
charset.

Then it was OpenWebMail.  It has problems with Subjects containing
russian text.

Does anybody has positive experience with any webmail software with
respect to i18n?
