RoundCube - Refusing GMail

Good afternoon, dear habravchane.
We all know about the mighty Google corporation, and most of us probably use the programs of this company.

Someone doesn’t like the soul in these programs with the eternal status of "beta", while someone considers Google as an "evil corporation" and puts a ban on accepting cookies from suspicious servers.

I would not want to kindle a flame and start a holivar, but if you are the one who wants to shake off the magical shroud called Google, then I will try to help you.

I write this post on the eve of the new year, for several reasons:

Yesterday, the release was probably the best free web-based roundcube mail client, and the release was timed to coincide with the New Year holidays. In this way, the developers wanted to please their users.



Many of the readers of this article are directly related to web development and have their own hosting, which is a key value for this article.

To replace GMail, I suggest you try roundcube . This is the same web client that uses ajax technology for its “magic tricks” and has a stunning appearance. :)

Basic requirements for installing roundcube:

• IMAP
• mysql or postgres
• php5

The main features of the program:

• Multilanguage support
• Full support for MIME and HTML messages
• Composing a message with attachments
• Multi-Sender Support
• The address book
• Support search in the address book when typing the recipient
• Formatted text / HTML support when composing a message
• Forwarding messages with attachments
• Manage IMAP directories
• Caching for quick access to messages
• Support for external SMTP servers
• Search for messages and contacts
• Spellchecking
• Extended user interface
• Unlimited users and posts
• Full interface change when using "skins"

Here are some screenshots of this program:

• List of letters and implementation of the drag & drop function
  
  
• View the letter while maintaining secrecy
  
  
• View selected message. Supports HTML in message and MULTIPART attachments
  
  
• Integrated Address Book
  
  
• Creating a new message with attachments and using the search for recipients in the built-in address book
  
  
• Set up multiple text signed senders
  
  
• Easy management of IMAP directories
  
  

If you are interested in this program, then we start the installation.

Program installation:

• Download the new version
• Unpack the archive in the desired directory tar xvfz roundcubemail-0.2-stable.tar.gz
• Change access permissions to chmod 777 temp/ logs/ directories chmod 777 temp/ logs/
• Create a new roundcube database for mysqladmin create roundcube
• We type in the browser http: // address-where-available-our-roundcube / installer /
• Follow the instructions of the installer and configure the program roundcube
• After creating and testing, remove the rm -rf installer/
• And now you can congratulate yourself, you have successfully installed the program

But if you want to constantly have the latest updates, you can go the other way (if you have ssh and svn on your server).

• Download the latest changes from the trunk (along with the service .svn files) svn co svn.roundcube.net/trunk/roundcubemail email/
• We change the rights, just as we did in the previous case, and in the same way we set up
• Now, if you need to get the latest update, you only need to execute the svn up in the email / directory (where we deployed the program)

I hope this article will help you learn about another new opensource product. If you have any questions about the installation - please write in the comments.
