There's an announcement mailing list for Roundcube that is a Read-only list with announcements like new versions, security bugs and more. Subscribing to that should keep you abreast of any security issues and updates. Roundcube is still in beta, I wouldn't expect it to be added to portage until 1.0 is due for release. -- Neil Bothwick The Flintstones probably had a PC! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Is there a decent webmail package in portage (or a layman overlay) that doesn't depend on PHP? what is the problem with php? Every webmail is going to need to depend on some kind of server side scripting. Nangus

It's probably the simplest to setup and the cleanest interface. I've set up squirrel and Horde IMP to check them out. Squirrel was relatively easy to set up compared to Horde, and via plugins, has pretty much every feature I want. Horde was a pain to set up, is big and slow, but looks a bit nicer than squirrel (haven't experimented with any skins on squirrel). I also installed ingo and turba on top of horde too, and I'm a bit disappointed. Unless there's a misconfiguration, turba doesn't seem to allow you to simply add a contact from an email message in Imp. And turba's mail filters seem fairly limited. I was expecting something more on the lines of Tbird's mail filter capabilities. I suppose you could get that if you ran procmail or maildrop, or perhaps seive (which I know nothing about, and apparently requires the cyrus imap server). Roundcube looks very promising. Looks like the project is going for a web based T-bird style client. :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That's what I did, I installed Roundcube in a sub-directory so I could compare it with SquirrelMail? Does anyone know if squirrelmail can be configured in a way so as to allow usage without executing php right on the page? My apache2 setup won't allow a script to be executed from the URL because of a mod_perl module I use. It looks like roundcube operates in this fashion, but squirrelmail uses .php pages. Can squirrelmail be used without .php pages? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
