[courier-users] Webmail Patches

[Lars Uffmann]

Hi Sam,

during a customer project I had to patch/enhance the webmail server
quite a bit. I would like to contribute the changes that seem to be
generally usefull. Feel free to integrate them to the main courier
source tree, if they fit.

regards,

1.) Patch Description

1.1) webmail/sysfolder.patch

  Before a folder is created, renamed, or deleted, a check is made
  wether a folder name is a system folder (INBOX,DRAFTS,SEND or TRASH).
  This works also if you choose different names via template system
  variables (ie in translations):

  [#$INBOX=Posteingang#]
  [#$DRAFTS=Entwürfe#]
  [#$SENT=Gesendet#]
  [#$TRASH=Papierkorb#]

  The [#$SYSFOLDER=... Error Message ...#] template variable is added.

1.2) webmail/from-to-label.patch

  In the folder contents title, "To" is displayed instead of the default
  "From/To" if the current folder is either SENT or DRAFTS, "From" is shown
  otherwise. The actual Title is configurable via the template variables
  [#$FROM=...#] and [#$TO=...#].

1.3) webmail/update-folder-asap.patch

  This patch adds a "Reload Folder" button to the folder contents page.
  If reload is pressed, new messages will show up and messages marked as
  deleted are expunged.

1.4) webmail/inbox-if-newmail.patch

  This patch adds a new user preference:

  When SqWebMail starts up, display
   * your INBOX
   * your INBOX, but only if there are new messages
   * the Folders page

  This patch depends on update-folder-asap (see above).

1.5) webmail/header_i8nl.patch

  You can now translate the following header fields:

    To:         [#$TOLAB=An#]
    From:       [#$FROMLAB=Von#]
    Cc:         [#$CCLAB=Kopie#]
    Bcc:        [#$BCCLAB=Bcc#]
    Subject:    [#$SUBJECTLAB=Betreff#]
    Reply-To:   [#$REPLYTOLAB=Antwort an#]
    Date:       [#$DATELAB=Datum#]

    The format used to show the Date header is configurable via the
    [#$DATEFMT=%d %b %Y, %H:%M:%S#] variable.

1.6) webmail/html_show_imgs.patch

  This patch adds the ability to display images in HTML E-Mail without
  revealing the session ID to remote webservers. It works by proxy-
  passing requests for images through SqWebMail. The HTML filter rewrites
  <IMG SRC="http://.../xxx.gif";> to
  <IMG SRC="http://.../cgi-bin/webmail/...?proxypass=http://.../xxx.gif";>
  Sqwebmail will then download the IMG and pass it back to the browser
  using libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/).

1.7) webmail/patches.h.patch

  Selectively en- or disable the above patches.

2.) Installation

2.1) How to Apply the Patches

Check out a fresh copy of courier from cvs. The patches are made against
courier-latest. HEAD schould also work. Unpack the tar file from the
toplevel courier source directory. Then follow the steps below.

  # cvs co -d courier-latest -r courier-latest courier
  # cd courier-latest
  # tar xf ../mways-latest-2002-03-22.tar
  # sh ./autopatch
  # sh ./autobloat
  # ./configure ...
  # make

Note: If you want to apply the patches seperatly, use patch -p0.

2.2) Build Requirements

You will have to install development libraries and header files for
libcurl. Download libcurl from http://curl.haxx.se/ or install the
libcurl-dev (.deb/.rpm) package.
