[cobalt-users] WebMail: Wanting to choose IMP vs the rest.

["timbolt Last Name" <timbolt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I was looking for a Webmail programme for my Cobalt RaQ4.

Summary,so far:

1)  NOCC mail looks good, but does not seem to work with the RaQs as there is apparently a fault with our PHP4.0.3 or such.  As I did not want to play around upgrading PHP or do anything risky, this was out.

2)  Aeromail.  Extremely easy to set-up, and can be entirely done as a user.  Rather basic, but works no problems.
Only issue:
To use have Aeromail recognise the correct domain for any user, requires the "/etc/mail/genericstable" file which does not appear on my server, only a /etc/mail/virtualstable file. These contain the same info, formatted differently and are apparently a function of sendmaill configuration.

3)  SquirrelMail seems the more advanced that the previous two, but they do not have support for Virtual Hosting.  This is meant to be in the next major release.  You can set it up under each domain and put it in for that domain, but that seems a bit of as hassel.

4) IMP from Horde.
I am still looking for detailed instructions on this.  I started installing from tarball, but quit when i realised how involved it was goin to be.  Do not mind, if I know what I am doing is safe and such, but did not get that impression.


Questions:
Anyone able to help with a RaQ4 quick fix to the  "/etc/mail/genericstable" file issue for Aeromail?
The sendmail site (http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html) talks about database management and I do nto want to mess this up.  A search of the cobalt-users list does not seem promising on this issue.

Can we install the RPMs for Horde?
Would it be the RedHat6 version?
Do RPMs have to be installed from the shell as root, since they are not Cobalt .pkg files.
The Horde set-up seems popular and folk have set this up from tarball.  Does anyone have good instructions for setting up Horde & IMP on the Cobalt RaQ4 for Virtual Hosting WebMail?  As we seem to have near standard products such an instruction should take the risk out of it.  They seem a bit overkill, but also the best.

Thanks!
