We are using your Webmail Pro (php version) and noticed that there is a potential issue when selecting a group of recipients in the auto-populate of the to, cc and bcc fields. If you had say 100 users in your group and attempted to select that group to send an email to, while it would populate the to field when the email was saved or sent the field in the database would truncate at 255 characters (as it's a varchar 255). We could change the field to be a longtext field to correct this error. But if the client had say 1000 email addresses in a group the to, cc or bcc fields may have issues with too much text in the field when the form / email was saved or sent.
Are you planning a method in which to address this issue?

Message information stored in database is used only for displaying message list and for search purposes. But when it's necessary to display message or process it in any other way, addresses are obtained from the message file itself, not from the database. Thus, we believe there is nothing to worry about here.

Igor.

Hi Igor:
In our case we are only using the database. There are no files in the system. So when displaying a sent email you would have this issue.

In case of storing messages in a database, the same .eml files are stored in the database instead of filesystem. So it makes no difference.

Hi Igor:
Okay so just to confirm, I have a client who has an email group with about 1200 email addresses in the group. So he can type in the group name in the to field; auto-populate will be able to copy that string of approx 23,000 characters into the to field. Then when the email is sent it will be sent to the 1200 recipients. The sent entry in the database will have all the to addresses in it? So when he goes back to review the sent email when it loads it will show the 1200 email address in the list as well?
Thanks for your help. :-)

Yes, that should work in this way. However, there're two "sent entries" in the database. The first one is trimmed down and used for displaying messages list and search, the second one (contained in full MIME source stored in the database) is full and used for displaying message.
Best regards,
Andrew
