Web Interface of our Mail Server

[Archie]

Hello all,

We will be stopping development of Web Interface. It will still stay, and it works pretty well, but as an alternative we will be recommending Squirrel Mail http://www.squirrelmail.org/. 

It has approximately similar features of our web interface, is constantly under development, and seems to be working pretty well with our mail server. There is one annoying issue, which we will fix with the quick release of our mail server next week. We will also provide a document which highlights whatever special needs to be done with SquirrelMail settings to get it working better with our mail server.

Thanks

Archie

Hey Archie,

Instead of killing the web interface how about open sourcing it and having a team of volunteers work on it?

I'd be happy to manage the project. Also, I have moderately decent development skills so I could even do some of the programming.

If you'd like to explore this idea further please contact me. I'm a registered Mail Server user under Olivia Codd, Zing Wisdom Network, Inc.

Best regards,

Brad

Hello Brad,

Sounds pretty good, let me think about it...  I do not see any problems here, except, it uses my Argosoft.Internet library, which is the core of all my products, and I, kind of, don't feel comfortable releasing it too at this point...  Also, API the web interface uses is not very well documented, and it may be hard for me to find time to document it...

If you think the rest could be released and it would work, let me know and let's do it.

Thanks

Archie

Archie,

I would love if you take the time to look at existing webmail like Afterlogic webmail and the fairly recent RAINLOOP webmail.  These apps are more modern in look/feel as well as functionality but I have found there are small bugs when used with Argosoft Mail Server; for example some messages cannot be displayed, IMAP path issues, etc.  I would be interested in checking out the document for SquirrelMail, as it may help with these other webmail implementations, as well as checking out the upcoming release of your Mail Server which may in fact solve the issues I am having with alternative webmail clients.

Archie,

I sent you a direct e-mail to test what's going on.

Is anyone reading this?

Archie or anyone... I have now updated my test installation of Rainloop webmail to 

1.6.7.133

and the system will not let me log in due to Imap/socket exceptions.  This happens ONLY on the domains hosted on the latest ArgoSoft mail server .net - try it with a GMail account and you'll see that Rainloop works perfectly and fast.

For some reason, Mail Server .net "broke" standard IMAP call.

In previous Rainloop version, errors are logged when displaying some messages:

[23:39:51.852] IMAP[DATA]: > TAG4 UID FETCH 1807 (UID BODYSTRUCTURE)\r\n
[23:39:52.040] IMAP[DATA]: < * 1046 FETCH (UID 1807 BODYSTRUCTURE ("TEXT" "HTML" ("CHARSET" "UTF-8") NIL NIL "QUOTED-PRINTABLE" 12243 193 NIL NIL NIL NIL))\r\n
[23:39:52.258] IMAP[DATA]: < TAG4 OK UID FETCH completed\r\n
[23:39:52.258] IMAP[DATA]: > TAG5 UID FETCH 1807 (UID RFC822.SIZE INTERNALDATE FLAGS BODY.PEEK[HEADER] BODY.PEEK[1])\r\n
[23:39:52.462] IMAP[DATA]: < TAG5 BAD Part not found\r\n

Now, the new version gives UNKNOWN ERROR on login, but logs show:

[20:21:33.907][1ec2a443] IMAP[ERROR]: exception

I think Argo and Rainloop could be a stellar combination if this is fixed, that's why I am pushing Archie - or another dev - to check it out!

Thanks!

According to Rainloop Support:

"Something is wrong" the ArgoSoft mail server in that it did not respond properly/fully to the IMAP LOGOUT command.
