Requests / User Interface
Last post by carlsonloggie - July 17, 2025, 09:50:03 AMI have three recommendation for the Compose email user interface.
1. Move the "Send" button to the upper left of the Compose menu bar.
2. Move the "Open in new window" to the right of the Compose menu bar.
3. Arrange all the icons in the main (vertical) menu consecutively.
IMHO, this provides a much cleaner user interface. This prevents users from having to jump around the screen to find things. Discontinuities are disconcerting. Users are used to navigating menus from left to right or from top to bottom, and expect to find commands near where their mouse is.

With this milestone we introduce a few breaking changes, some new features, and bring full support for PHP 8.4.
Some noteworthy changes are:
- Make public_html/ mandatory as entry-point for HTTP daemons, protecting all installations better.
- Improve support for OAuth2 (e.g. supporting OpenID Connect discovery URLs).
- A Mouse-over menu on the messages list with quick action icons.
- Advanced mail search syntax with more possibilities – you can now use e.g. is:unread to only match unread messages. The test file has a list of implemented keywords.
- Message parts of content-type text/markdown are now rendered to HTML (if they are designated for showing).
- Add a 'php' logging driver, which passes all log statements to PHP's error_log handler, allowing to unify all log output.
- Requires PHP v8.1 or newer.
Breaking Changes
- Dropped support for PHP < 8.1.
- Removed support for MS SQL Server and Oracle.
- Make public_html/ entry-point mandatory, all static resources are served via static.php.
- Removed apc cache driver (replaced by apcu cache driver).
- Change smtp_log option default value to false.
For full details please see the release notes.

General Discussion / Re: Database migration
Last post by miglincit - July 15, 2025, 02:48:36 AMCan I just replace the current content of the identities table?
This would easen the update of the contacts a lot.
But this raises the question how users are identified and related to their identity...

Last post by SKaero - July 14, 2025, 02:53:58 PMThe easiest would be to update the old database, if you have merge the two databases it will be rather tricky.
To update the database you can either use the installer script that comes with Roundcube or do it manually by running the SQL files for each update that are in the SQL folder.

General Discussion / Database migration
Last post by miglincit - July 14, 2025, 01:43:39 PMHello,
I had to setup my server and during that I also updated to newer versions of all services...
E.g. Debian Buster (10) to Bookworm (12) aso.
And it that course I also installed Roundcube 1.6.5. from scratch.
I do have an SQL-Dump of the data of the previous installation and would like to know the easiest way to merge the data from the older version in to the new database. I am especially interested in restoring:
I did add/create some sub-folders (3) in the meanwhile, but those can be recreated if necessary.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Thomas

Last post by SKaero - July 13, 2025, 02:00:16 PMIt really sounds like there are different accounts. Do you have access to the Roundcube database? Could you post or PM me the raw emails from both computers?

Last post by factor3 - July 13, 2025, 12:12:42 PMThank you, SKaero, for your response.
The only problem with clearing the cache is that my browser(s) on the machine didn't have anything in their caches. Remember: this machine just had Windows 11 installed. This was a full installation, not an upgrade. The Firefox and Chrome browsers were just installed on the machine. These were their first visits to the Roundcube URL.
Nevertheless, I did clear their caches. I am still getting the old, deleted messages showing up in the inbox.
As for adding the contact record and seeing if it shows up on other computers (a good idea, BTW): I added a new record, then logged in to another computer and checked the contacts. The contact did not show up on the other computer.
Just for grins and giggles, I added a different contact on the other computer. It did not show up on this one. It did show up on all my other computers.
I also sent an email from this computer. The email did not show up in the sent folders on any other computer. The email did reach its destination, though (my google account).
I sent an email from my google account to my Roundcube email account. It was received on every computer except this one.
However (weirdly enough), when I *replied* to the email sent to my google account from this computer, this computer received it. My other machines did not.
It is almost as if this computer is communicating with another version of my Roundcube account. An account that is separate from the account that all my other machines are communicating with.

Last post by SKaero - July 12, 2025, 10:27:40 PMI would recommend trying to clear the browsers cache and see if that fixes the issue, also check if you add a contact record does it show up on the other computers.
