Roundcube
Installation
We're going to get the backport version as it's much much better
so in /etc/apt/sources.list add
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
and to install
apt-get -t squeeze-backports install roundcube roundcube-mysql roundcube-plugins roundcube-plugins-extra
You will need mysql-server, apache2 and php5 as well.
then in /etc/roundcube/apache.conf
uncomment: Alias /roundcube/program/js/tiny_mce/ /usr/share/tinymce/www/ Alias /roundcube /var/lib/roundcube
in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php change
$rcmail_config['htmleditor'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['preview_pane'] = 0; to 1 $rcmail_config['default_host'] = '127.0.0.1'; $rcmail_config['language'] = 'nl_NL';
Settings that need looking at and haven't been enabled yet!
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'localhost'; $rcmail_config['smtp_user'] = '%u'; $rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = '%p';
in /usr/local/etc/php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 5M
Plugins
virtuser_file
This comes with the roundcube-plugins package and makes roundcube read the identities (@domain.ext) from a file in the format:
email@domain.ext user
email2@domain2.ext user2
If a user has multiple @domain.ext set in the file, then it makes multiple entries you can choose from as your from address.
Find in /etc/roundcube/main.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file');
To enable it. and then all the way at the bottom set
$rcmail_config['virtuser_file'] = '/etc/postfix/virtual';
DragnDrop Attachments
You can find that here
download, then unzip and mv to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/dragndrop_attachments/
In main.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file','vcard_attachments','show_additional_headers','emoticons','jqueryui','dragndrop_attachments', 'vacation');
Google Contacts
Syncs your Google account with the adress book. Find it here
Download, then unzip and mv to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/google_contacts/
Add the SQL in the file, move the config/config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php (might want to change $rcmail_config['google_contacts_max_results'] = 1000; to a higher number)
Download the Zend GData API's. In that file there is a subdirectory somewhere called Zend, which you copy to /var/lib/roundcube/program/lib/Zend/
In main.inc.php
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('virtuser_file','vcard_attachments','show_additional_headers','emoticons','jqueryui','dragndrop_attachments', 'vacation','google_contacts');
If you get a bad authentication error, you need to ensure that in Personal Settings -> Address Book the account has been filled in with everything after the @ as well. If you still get the error, gmail may have sent you a message saying that you need to authenticate the new device. There should be a link to allow this in that mail.
Automatic Addressbook
Automatically adds people you send a mail to to an address book. Get it here
Vacation autoresponder
Download it from here
unzip it to /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/vacation/
The config.ini should look like this:
[default] driver = "ftp" subject = "Afwezig" body = "default.txt" [dotforward] binary = "/usr/bin/vacation" flags = "" message = ".vacation.msg" database = ".vacation.db" alias_identities = true set_envelop_sender = false always_keep_message = true
in Roundcube 0.5 the page layout has changed and the plugin displays incorrectly. To fix this, edit
plugins/vacation/skins/default/vacation.css
and add in some padding:
#pagecontent { width: 800px; padding-top:70px; }
Also edit plugins/vacation/default.txt
Note that it won't save the autoresponder message and subject if you don't tick the checkbox on the top of the page (which we've moved down a bit above)
Finally, add 'vacation' to the $rcmail_config['plugins'] in roundcube main.inc.php
You can find the auto reply in the settings
Important when testing!
NB. when testing, you may need to delete the users from the roundcube mysql database to check if certain settings are being set before logging in (the identities and users table)
Also there is a
/var/log/roundcube/error.log
you can consult
