Re: [Phpgroupware-users] E-mauil problems

[Bruno Prior]

Did anyone ever find an answer to this problem (Email showing folders 
as empty)? I have just installed 0.9.14-RC1 and I am experiencing 
this same problem. Email worked with 0.9.12, albeit very slowly 
compared to sqwebmail. I am guessing it is a permissions issue with 
the IMAP server, as I am seeing a lot of the following in my mail log:

Feb  5 23:34:15 www imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:34:15 www imapd: LOGIN, user=bruno, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:34:15 www imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:34:30 www imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:34:30 www imapd: LOGOUT, user=bruno, ip=[127.0.0.1], 
headers=0, body=0
Feb  5 23:35:43 www imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:35:43 www imapd: LOGIN, user=bruno, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:35:43 www imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:35:59 www imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Feb  5 23:35:59 www imapd: LOGOUT, user=bruno, ip=[127.0.0.1], 
headers=0, body=0

It seems strange that phpgroupware can get enough access to get a 
list of folders, but not be able to download any message headers.

I have also tried felamimail, with roughly the same result, although 
it is more difficult to check with this interface, as there are some 
other problems as well. It seems that felamimail tries to INSERT an 
entry in the phpgw_felamimail_folderstatus table every time you try 
to access a folder. Once this entry has been created the first time, 
the unique index prevents the same combination of  accountid, 
accountname, hostname and foldername being INSERTed again, as it 
probably should. But as the PHP script seems to want to do this every 
time, it then fails. Maybe this is related to the fact that the 
folder appears empty to felamimail, because of the original problem.

For the record, I am using linux Mandrake 8.0, kernel version 
2.4.6-ac2, courier-imap 1.3.8.2 as my IMAP server, postfix (the 
20010228 snapshot) as my mail server, maildrop for 
filtering/delivery, and sqwebmail for standalone webmail. I use 
Maildirs in users' home directories.

It would be nice to use an email interface integrated with other 
groupware functionality, but at the moment sqwebmail kicks hell out 
of any other webmail interface I have come across.

Any suggestions?
