Same difference. Since all objects in Kolab are email messages, if
they're binary, they have to be processed on the client side, since that
format eliminates any server side searching... And pretty much
eliminates any reason for storing the objects as email messages in the
first place. Dumb architecture decision. KONSEC does the same damn thing
as Toltec, and is just as worthless, especially in a heterogenious
environment of webclients and Oulook, you're punishing your webclient
users as well as making your server do some completely unnecessary heavy
lifting. Not mention the architectures severe suckitude over slow WAN
links. 

But, you know, other than that, it's great ;)

You're talking about the Toltec Connector, correct?

There is an alternative called KONSEC connector that stores non-mail 
items as a binary mail with a special header in a separate folder IIRC.



openxchange looks to be a more viable alternative, especially if you
have to support webclient users.


Last time I checked it wouldn't provide some features but that was ages

For just webmail though, Horde is great, especially if you install the

I would stay far far away from kolab for anything more than one or two
person use. Especially if you plan on using it with Outlook as the
Outlook connector stores the Kolab data in a binary format, making it
unsearchable on the server side, hence retardedly slow as you need to
suck down an entire folder (the complete message, not just the headers),
parse each message, then search them just to find a single event. The
developers response to my questions about the inefficiencies of their
storage format was basically "that is the clients problem
[parsing/caching the kolab objects]". So don't plan on using it with
Horde, as you'll kill your server, as every operation in the web
calendar, for instance, will require your webserver to fetch and parse
every calendar object. 

openxchange looks to be a more viable alternative, especially if you
have to support webclient users.

For just webmail though, Horde is great, especially if you install the
sieve rule manager and the password tool, then people can manage their
own vacation/ooo rules, as well as update their passwords.

Hi!

I have tried squirrelmail and horde IMP.

While squirrelmail is very easy to implement, I prefer IMP for it's
superior feature list
But it's a hell to configure it the first time with all it's thousand
options because I found most of them having the wrong default in my opinion.

Hi,

I only know a older version of Squirremail as user and the Horde as Admin.
So i will only say something to Horde.

We are running Horde with IMP, Ingo, Turba, Kronolithe, Nag and Mnemo.

Horde supports the features of cyrus like (quota Display, ACL and timesiev).
The Turba, Kronolithe, Nag and Mnemo support sharing of adressbooks,  
kalendar, todo-lists and notes.


To interact with Outlook you may want to have a look at kolab  
http://kolab.org .

If You're looking for groupware based on cyrus visit http://www.kolab.org

Glueing a webmail frontend like squirrelmail to that should be no problem.

Generally I haven't had any problems with squirrelmail except that I

In Outlook I can view both folders plus I can copy or move messages

I don’t know how imp delivers copies to cyrus, but is this a deliver

I doubt it. IMP is likely using APPEND to stick a copy in the sent mail

message using IMP and the telemetry logs should tell you why it's failing.

Re: webmail+kerberos+cyrus imapd

I use an implementation of Horde + Imp to provide webmail services.  I 
do not use Kerberos myself although I believe it is an option with Horde 
+ Imp.  Horde's homepage is http://www.horde.org (I feel as though this 
is getting a bit off topic!)


If you go for Horde to get started you will need to use the CVS HEAD 
releases of Horde, framework and Imp (CVS Horde then cd into that dir 
and CVS framework and Imp)  You can always add other packages when you 
have the basics up and running.  There are very good docs in the docs 
folders.  For krb5 there is extra info in horde/framework/Auth/Auth/krb5.php

Ive been using horde/imp for years and I never recall this to be the case. Its
all in php in your webserver, so runs at whatever you have that set up as. The
excption may be the imap proxy (which keeps a imap session alive because things
run in a webserver will of course be short lived)... If you had that running on
port:143, it would of course require root privilages..

This is quickly getting OT, and I apologize in advance to the rest of
the list, but does Horde still require some parts to run SUID root?  The
last time I really looked at it was several years ago, and it did then
if memory serves.

'IMP' is the mail reader component from the Horde project. They also have
components for what you mention

sieve rule builder => Ingo (procmail as well via ftp)[1]
calender   => Kronolith 
address book   => Turba

and pleanty of other components. Kronolith and Turba are both stable, having
first been build into IMP. Kronolith CVS ..."supports shared calendars, allowing
others various levels of access to your calendar, better iCalendar support, and
generation of iCalendar free/busy information."

If your just going for webmail Squirrelmail may currently have faster apparent
developement, but the usual suspects over at horde have been focusing a lot of
there energy at the core framework, and laying the ground work for other components.

[1] only in cvs, but is beyond 1.0

Say what?  SquirrelMail is completely self-contained in one directory
structure.  I have it in /projects/squirrelmail on my development machine,
and /usr/local/share/squirrelmail on my production server.  How is it
spread out?

You CAN put your data & attachment directories outside of SquirrelMail's
tree, but by default it's all contained.

We don't use it here (partly because it is only available from CVS right
now), but the Ingo project in Horde can generate sieve and procmail
filters.  I don't believe there is a release for stable Horde, but you
might ask on the Ingo mailing list.

Yes, you can do that.  Set the parameter:

  $use_imap_tls = true;

in the /etc/squirrelmail/config.php file, and as long as you are
running PHP 4.3 or later and have the openssl extension loaded in
/etc/php.ini it will do STARTTLS when communicating with the IMAP
server.  This is in SquirrelMail 1.4.1, I think this capability was
added in 1.4.0.

You can also set

  $use_smtp_tls = true;

for its connections to the SMTP server.

Re: Webmail -- What's recommended?

2003-07-15 Thread Brett Thomson
I use Horde/Imp to supply webmail for the company I work for. I have no
complaints about either package, we tested both and went with Horde for
the reasons Michael suggested and mainly for the spell checking
capabilities. Staff have found the web interface of horde/imp so good
they use webmail internally as well as externally.

I have found as a network admin that horde was very easy to configure
and has been very easy to manage ever since.

Just my two cents worth.
Cheers

Re: Webmail -- What's recommended?

2003-07-15 Thread Andrew Morgan

I don't want to get into a big feature comparison between Horde/IMP and
other webmail software, but have you guys looked at the Horde projects
website (http://www.horde.org/projects.php) lately?  There are a LOT of
Horde modules out there.  We use the main ones here at OSU: IMP (mail),
Turba (contacts), and Kronolith (calendar).

I'll definately agree that setting it up right takes time and testing, but
with that complexity comes a lot of flexibility.

Andy

PS - IMP has spell checking built in.

Re: Webmail -- What's recommended?

2003-07-15 Thread Michael J Barber
I don't want to get into a lengthy discussion of features but Imp has
spellchecking as well.  It is one package and one line in the config.  The
package ispell (I think) is on most systems I believe.

They both are very nice and work very well.

Horde/Imp/... has a very nice self contained structure.  Very little exists
outside the main directory tree.

Squirrel mail has more plugins but is spread out over the system more and needs
a bit of tweaking to ensure good security.  I've used both and like both. 

In the end you cannot lose choosing either one, but choose the one that fits
your abilities and needs the best.

I agree and lets not forget the huge list of plug-ins that can be
installed to further extend the already feature rich system.

The spell checker plug in was a huge + for my users.

I agree with Scott, Squirrelmail has lots of contributed plugins such as 
sieve rule builder, calendar, address book, that makes it an intresting 
choice. The only what remains to do is to improve the folders tree view, 
but it can be deployed in minutes without to much effort.

As long as you have a fairly sane mmap implementation (most modern unixes
do), this isn't the case for cyrus (well, I suppose it depends on your
definition of "large memory resource").

That said, the type of connections held open by an IMAP proxy between
webmail sessions aren't holding a mailbox open.

I haven't determined that.  I suspect, though, that there are limits
to what can be cached by a proxy.  A better design might involve a
persistent portion of the webmail application, that maintains some
state across HTTP transactions.  The communications between the two
portions need not involve IMAP.

We do use that, and it probably does improve performance.  It does have

This also ties up a lot of `imapd' and `httpd' processes.  It probably

We use IMHO (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~stewa/IMHO/) that works with the open 
source Roxen (http://www.roxen.com) web server. It is one of the few webmail 
servers that maintains a persistant connection for each session, making it 
faster than any other webmail that I have used. It is highly customizable. The 
webmail server is written in a dynamically compiled language called Pike, so 
code changes do not require a recompile. It saves a preference file on the IMAP 
server. We are running it on 4 load balanced Sun Netra T1's. They are very 
reliable; I rarely have to deal with them.

No, it will not work under Apache.

The only problem that I have found is a memory leak that causes the Roxen 
process to grow in size until it consumes almost all system memory. We deal with 
this by restarting the servers on a time staggered basis.

There is also a webmail/web server based on the IMHO/Roxen system called Camas 
(http://camas.caudium.net) that runs on the Caudium webserver 
(http://www.caudium.net). I have not tried it, but plan to.

Tom

Try www.squirrelmail.org
It's great!  Loads of extra plugin options, based around PHP scripts.
It's ded easy to modify to your needs and is 'community' orientated.

My reason for picking a webmail was... what do I want my webmail package to

Do you require spell checking?

You might have a look at TWIG ( http://twig.screwdriver.net ) We've been 
using it over two years and it's highly modular and can very easily be 
extended to add support for quotas, multiple domains and the like. It 
also supports various DBs, mailservers, authentication mechanisms.

For a preview of what the product could look like, go to:

Hi Steve,

I just installed silkymail over my 
cyrus/sendmail Solaris 8 system.
I am very impressed with the ease of install
(including SSL). It is bundled with its own 
Apache server. You sort of pull the string 
and it inflates.  ;)

It appears extremely robust and my webmaster 
and I are going to tailor it 'down' for our 
users. That's a first! Usually you have to 
wedge things into it for greater 
functionality.
Both IMAP and POP!

We also are using Websieve and plan on 
having web interface for all users to 
forward/vacation their mail.

All the other web mail utilites, like 
mailing list etc, I am incorporating into 
the Apache server that was a part of the 
Silkymail install.


Currently we are using on our old system 
MailMan. It is very limited but stable.


Hope that helps!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I've been working on this problem with IMP/MD5/php 4
for 3 days now to no avail. Sure enough I removed sasldb and boom! It
worked. 

BTW, does anyone know how to get cyradm to use pam to authenticate an
admin (when I try to tell it to use pam, it wont let me in). The only
way Ive been able to use cyradm was to saslpasswd the administrator user
and then auth off of sasl for that user (but obviously I cant do that
anymore If I want IMP to work ).

Re: Webmail for Cyrus Imap ?

A trick with SASL if you don't use the /etc/sasldb stuff is to compile
with "--with-dblib=none" and it will remove the sasl secrets database
code entirely.. We only use Kerberos so we didn't need any of the
/etc/sasldb stuff either.

I have been trying for days now to get the latest IMP(3.0) with the 
latest Horde(2.0) to work with cyrus.  The problem now is that imp tries

I have on my system

IMP  --- Good very big in code source terms but is designed
 to do more.

Silky mail --- big re vamp of imp nice but doesnt support the IMP
  personal address books. 

Both these tend to be slower than the others

Squirrel mail --- Nice I like the modules and the spell checker.

Jawmail ---  There are some annoying bugs becuase it doesnt escape SQL
codes. Again nice plugin/module feature. Supports saving
email
address of people you send to which was a big one for one of
my 
users.

Werkmail --- very simple.


So far the users have preffered Squirrel mail and jawmail
although they are going back to IMP slowly I think (IMP was the orignal
and still has many peoples addresses in the address book).

We use IMHO (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~stewa/IMHO/) with our Roxen web servers. 
It requires the open-source Roxen web server to operate. A unique feature with 
IMHO is that it maintains persistant connections on the IMHO server, 
significantly speeding up operations. My experience with SquirrelMail was that 
it was quite slow in comparison, but this was probably about a year ago.

IMHO maintains a preferences file as a message in the users' IMAP account and 
reads it on startup. Framed and non-framed interfaces are user-selectable. The 
"back" button works! It was also relatively easy to modify for our purposes, as 
the IMHO module is written in an interpreted language called Pike.

There is also a variation of IMHO and Roxen that was brought about by a fork in 
the code base for both products. The new webmail program is called Camas and the 
  web server is called Caudium. I din't have the URLs handy, but a Google search 
should fix that.

Tom

http://www.cyrusoft.com/silkymail/

Here's just some of what the O'Reilly book Managing
IMAP had to say about SilkyMail: (Great book! Why
don't you have it yet??? ;-) )

"It has every feature in the book, including the most
complete set of IMAP capabilities in any webmail
client...as far as we're concerned, SilkyMail was the
most visually pleasing client
out-of-the-box...SilkyMail is different from all the
other clients we evaluated. It's more like a complete
IMAP client that runs within a web browser."

Enough said.

Just do the merge Apache install if you have a good
Apache set up already.

(The complete install/configure with their version of
Apache can be troublesome)

Don't forget mod_php.

Thanks for clarifying that, Cyrus. What about LDAP--is there any reason that
LDAP cannot be used for address-book synchronization?

The only other address synchronization client I'm aware of is Windows
Address Book (wab.exe) which can sync with the HotMail address book. However
I'm not aware of a published standard that this uses--it's probably
proprietary.

If there are no real options for standards that support address book sync I
guess we'll have to write our own for our webmail site :-(

Outlook Express v6 is pretty good. There are various options now to turn off
JavaScript et al, and it's protocol support is OK (supports off-line use,
supports SSL, supports S-MIME). It's not particularly well-behaved though,
in that it opens a new connection for every folder that it synchronizes :-(

Some people report good things about Mulberry, although I find it poor in
the usability stakes.

Mozilla has a good IMAP client that works well under all platforms that
Mozilla supports, including Windows.

What clients support IMSP? Is this support synchronization/off-line access
(like good IMAP clients), or on-line access only, or import/export only?

I'm looking to add something to our webmail site that synchronizes the
Windows Address Book and other common mail client address books with our
server address book. I can't find anything that supports this--the obvious
choice would appear to be to use LDAP on the server, but I can't find any
clients that support synchronization of LDAP with local address books.

Christoph,
Do you have any problems with silkymail besides that it "feels like 
IMP?" I'm using IMP now, and while its not my preferred mail client, I 
like it better than squirrelmail. Sure, the install sucked, but once it 
was done I was pretty happy with it, and so are my users. I'm not using 
any database with it - just the basic webmail functionality.

After looking at silkymail I was considering switching. It looks like 
silkymail has all the features IMP has and maybe more, I think the 
interface looks nicer and is more intuitive... what negative experience 
did you have with silkymail?

Guten Tag Rehuel Lobato de Mesquita,

i have recently checked some webmail clients. my special requirement
was that the client must not need mysql (i hate mysql; PostgreSQL
rulez !).
You can find the following at freshmeat.net :

SquirrelMail
The one i will go to use. It´s special feature is that it support
plugins und you find a lot of them at its website. It does not need a
DB.

Horde
It was a pain to configure and the current stable release lacks a lot
of features while i wasn´t able to run the development release :(.
will recheck it then the new release will be ready. Runs best with a
DB.

AeroMail
Very simple. Both in installation and features.

Nocc
The same, but made a much better impression.

Postamt & Werkmail
Got deleted immediately. can´t remember why.

Twig
Isn´t just a Webmail program. it´s a whole multi-user environment
including schedules and many other things. too heavy for my needs.

That are the ones i checked. you should probably check them and others
for yourself to really find what you need. If anyone can recommend any
other, i will happily test it, too.

But knows anybody a good client for Windows? Outlook is too unsecure
for my taste, netscape lacks a lot of features i would like too see
and my favorite "The Bat!" doesn´t seem to be an IMAP client at all.
somehow it looks that´s just a POP3 client that can also fetch mails
from IMAP server, but doesn´t really take advantage of their
abilities, or am I wrong?
