Do you know Roundcube

I have a need to change the Folder order in the Roundcube attached to my
Orpheus accounts.

I've searched online and it's apparently possible to change the order of
the folders, but I can't fathom out just what the article is saying to do.

Can anyone help, please.

Thanks
Dave

Are these customised folders? I don't think you can move the standard ones.
However, in Classiv view look for a cog pulldown menu icon at the bottom left
of the browser window (at the foot of the folder list pane). Click on this
and select Manage folders.

I don't think this will give you the control you need, but I think it's the
best you've got. Bizarrely, you can grab a folder and move it up/down the
list, but you can't drop it in a new place.

When any mechanical contrivance fails, it will
do so at the most inconvenient possible time.

That I will be doing that sometime, but Richard is a busy person, so I
first wondered if anyone here might know. :-)

I can't imagine that would help. It's an 'off-the-peg' solution so he would
likely of very little influence over it.

As you'll have seen online during your research, there are a lot of people
who want this. I gazed deeply into Roundcube's settings last year when one of
my client's requested help with it. I saw a feature request for the folders
from 18 months ago, but nothing seems to have changed.

Indeed, that's what I found online, including how easy it is to do by the
dragging & dropping method. :-( Not!

Orpheus hosts and manages two accounts for us, plus the Ormail one that
comes with the Internet Service Provision.

They all use the same Roundcube interface, and while all three of them
have the same folders displayed, two of them have the same order folder
list, while the third is in a different order.

Funny old business. :-)

Thanks for your thought anyway.
Appreciated.

[Snip the lot]

I have somehow managed to get my folders in that one different account
displayed in order.
ATM. I'm not sure how I did it, and if I do fathom it, I'll post again...

Another query with Roundcube before I trouble Richard.

I have some mail which it has incorrectly flagged as Spam. I can't find a
way to tell it it's not spam so we don't get the same problem again.
After searching icons and menus, I can't find an option for this. Anyone
know how it's done.

I don't think Roundcube is responsible for this; it's just putting marked
messages into its Spam folder. They're probably being flagged by your ISP,
which will likely have an option somewhere for whitelisting wrongly flagged
emails, or an option to reduce the marking severity.

I doubt its even doing that: the Spam filter will be flagging messages and
then diverting them into the Spam folder on the mail server. Roundcube will
just be displaying the contents of that folder.
