$config['plugins'] = array('archive', 'zipdownload', );

Check under your About link, it should show a list of plugins there that are loaded.

For the archive plugin, check under your Preferences: Special Folders

I believe it is set to None by default so the button does not show up in the interface.

The Zipdownload has its own config.inc.php file so check the $config['zipdownload_attachments'] = 1;

zipdownload is not obvious until you have a message with more than that many attachements. Then you will see it.

Thanks rm13.

this is what I have under the zipdownload/config.ini.php

$rcmail_config['zipdownload_attachments'] = 1;
// Zip entire folders
$rcmail_config['zipdownload_folder'] = true;
// Zip selection of messages
$rcmail_config['zipdownload_selection'] = true;

and it does show up under about as well.

Isn't zipdownload supposed to help you archive all your emails in your account/mailbox?

What i want to do is archive/backup my emails to local drive so i have a backup.  My email size limit it almost full and I wont be receiving emails if it is full.

thanks much for the help.

Not according to the README file for it. It just deals with attachments on email messages.

https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/tree/master/plugins/zipdownload

You can select all messages in a folder, or subset of messages, then hit the more toolbar button and download in mbox of maildir. (This is in Roundcube 1.1.8, it may be a bit different in newer versions). I don't think the zipdownload plugin has anything to do with this function though.

You may have limits in the PHP/webserver settings that will limit just how big of a zip file can be generated and downloaded via Roundcube. You may want to use something like Thunderbird to export your email.

Hi,

to this plugin is written (on gifthub) that it can also backup / copy more emails or also a complete mailbox, but when I select more then one email or a whole mailbox, it doesn't work.
Please can you help us to do something with it, that it works and we can use it as a backup tool.

Thanks.
