another php imap webmail client

README.TXT from the travmail archive

travmail is an imap webmail client which requires php but does not use the
imap routines available in php.  

I've just made some rpm files available which have relocation enabled in case
you want to install into a path other than the default /var/www/html using
the 'rpm --install --prefix /var/htdocs travmail-version.rpm' command line.

Please email bug reports to my email address below.  If there is enough 
interest I'll set up a mailing list.

Apologies for the lame name.. please suggest a better one.

Have a look at config.php and modify it for your site's settings.

As travmail uses css for styling it is very customisable (the only places where
it isn't used is due to IE bugs).

There are a few different icon themes as the icon layout/format follows the 
naming convention of the kde icon sets so you can just untar an icon set
then change the icons symlink in the styles/kde-look subdir and provided all
the necessary icons are there you have a new theme.  There are quite a few
icon themes provided but for more visit http://www.kde-look.org

Don't use the filtering code that is in there .. I don't like it and you
probably wont either.  It's in no way user friendly and not as powerful
as the procmail level of filtering I've been used to and want.

Credit belongs with Trent Hornibrook for major features and suggestions
he has provided along the way.  And thanks to 'purple' (my gf) for
all the testing.  Apologies if I've missed anyone, email me and I'll give you
your due credit.

This webmail client is inspired by all and sundry email clients.

The subdirectories reflect the open source packages travmail relies upon.
International character support is via some files from squirrelmail and
htmlarea is for the html editing .. the html to plain text is from the 
phphtmlparser package.

Why another webmail client?

Complicated answer.. another project of mine is an oracle rac based (I 
started it before open source databases were viable alternatives) imap/pop
data store for email and I was having trouble getting all the debug information
I needed to ensure that my implementation was correct (it still isn't .. when
it is usable I'll release it as well .. I've been using it for a few years now
but it still has some pretty lame bugs .. the goal is for redundancy and to 
only store any mime part once).  For this reason and just for general
debugability (probably at the expense of quite a bit of performance) you'll
find that there is a _lot_ of debug options you can turn on in 
webmail_class.php

Load Testing

When load testing remember to use the script to strip out the debug code which 
is not needed for production use.
