Hi,
I have a few bug reports and feature requests about AfterLogic Webmail Lite (I'm running a PHP version). Where should I post those?

Also, is there a public VCS repository from where I could check out the very latest development version of Webmail Lite?

Not at the moment.

OK, here's bug report #1: many DOCTYPE declarations in the code contain trailing slashes, which invalidate them. Removing those slashes makes quite a big amount of HTML syntax errors visible. :)

Bug report #2: the installation script presents me with GNU Affero GPL v3, while everywhere else (both in the source and pages on this site) the license is stated to be GPL v2. You may want to clarify this misunderstanding.

Thanks, we'll take a look into this.

You're absolutely right. The new license was applied recently, we didn't update that in the code and on web site yet, but we'll do that of course.

Another issue: if I set USE_DB to false, I can no longer log into POP3 accounts because the system still tries to create a user (it presents me with a "Can't create user" error). IMAP logins still work. Any hints how to fix that?

While IMAP allows storing message status, running search and sotrting, that won't work with POP3. Thus, if you don't use the database, you can use IMAP only.

Hm, I'd rather disable searching and sorting for POP3 users, but still allow the logins. Would it be hard to modify the behavior to this scheme?

Even if you manage to achieve this kind of modification (which isn't going to be easy), you will lose any virtual folders like Sent Items or Trash, you will not be able to check read/unread message status, etc.

In fact, I don't want any folders shown for the pop3 users. And all emails could probably be displayed as read, though ideally, visited and unvisited email links would be different.

Would you suggest me which file/class I should try to hack?

As a sidenote, my ultimate goal is to replace a small public webmail system that I hacked up 7 years ago, which allows anyone to check their POP3 mail account. I'd like to replace that system with something that works well, is supported and preferably supports IMAP along with POP3. And I want that system to be as lightweight as possible: no database, no contacts etc. I looked at Roundcube, but it doesn't support POP3, so now I'm looking at AfterLogic.

Sorry, I don't have any idea as to which files should be modified (to make things clear, I'm not one of the developers), but I have a suggestion. If you check WebMail Lite page at SourceForge, you'll find several earlier versions of the product. A while ago, WebMail Lite was really simple - it didn't require database, it didn't have Contacts screen, and you could use it to access POP3 accounts (not sure about IMAP though). To tell the truth, I'm still using older WebMail Lite with one of my projects as I don't require the complex functionality.

Ah, thanks for a clue, I'll check it out!

Meanwhile, I've already narrowed the scope of falure a little. Will try to look into it too.

A few more bugs:

Vilnius is listed in an incorrect time zone, at least in the admin panel. It should be grouped together with Helsinki, Riga and Tallinn (GMT+2), and not with Sarajevo, Skopje, Sofija, Warsaw, Zagreb (GMT+1).
The checkSystemFolderAndCreate() function in common/class_login.php in certain cases tries to use $_settings variable which is not available in its scope. Here's a patch that fixes this mistake.

According to the developers, the 2nd issue you reported (the one regarding $_settings variable) was fixed in WebMail Pro 5.1 release, and we're planning to release WebMail Lite 5.1 soon, so the fix will be there as well.

Igor, thanks for the info!

Any hints about when 5.1 Lite will be out?

By the way, current Lite version introduces itself as "AfterLogic Webmail Pro PHP" in the X-Mailer header. Is that intentional?

Another suggestion: please include the version number into the zip archives you distribute. Also, it would be nice if the latest versions available on SourceForge would be in sync with those available here (SF currently has 5.0.6, meanwhile you already have 5.0.9 for download).

Developers keep stating "soon"

Most probably, that will be the beginning of next week.

I don't think so. Lite version is built by purging & replacing things from the Pro version, and looks like they overlooked this one. Will make sure that will be just "AfterLogic WebMail PHP", you can modify that text manually in common/inc_constants.php file.

It is included, check VERSION file in WebMail root folder. Changelog shipped with the product provides hints on current version number as well.

We're trying to maintain that sync, but it's not feasible for each and every minor version. And unfortunately the person responsible for dealing with SourceForge is currently on vacation, so we can't update it now.

Yeah, i wasn't crystal clear. What I meant was please make the version number a part of the filename.

By the way, do you accept feature patches? I'd like to see my patches (STARTTLS, POP3 without DB) integrated upstream.

Another bug: if a POP3 account doesn't have any messages in Inbox, the "Can't get message list" error is shown to the user.
