Hello all,
I was a squirrelmail user for a long time. Usable but ugly. But I discovered roundcube, and I have to say that it is a great piece of software.
Right now, I work for a medium-size company, and we are migrating lot s of things from commercial software to opensource, and the webmail is one of those.
I tried roundcube with 0.2.2, and inmediately started to use it as our mail frontend. It had issues with performance, but I thought they would be saved in future releases.
In fact, I tried 0.3 beta, and it was awesome (the plugin-api is a great improvement), so I upgraded the system.
But after that, I couldn't upgrade to 0.3RC, o stable (now). I will describe my arquitecture and you will understand the problem.
We have Exchange 2003 as IMAP backend, and as I discovered that the sorting by date thing was the problem of performance (no SORT capabilities in IMAP headers), it was natural that on 0.3 beta, the things were smoother (because of a patch that sorted messages only in the page).
But after 0.3 RC1, I've been looking at the headers, and it seems that now it fetches all the messages available in the server to sort, and not only the first 40. What has changed? I've seen a sentence in the changelog of 0.3 RC1 referring to "Fixed messages list sorting on servers without SORT capability" (my case)
Can anyone help me what has changed, or how can I return to the older behaviour? It is too much for our exchange backend, because a lot of users have more than 2000 messages in their INBOX.
Any pointer also to something to investigate would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!
No one can give me a clue?
Thanks again
I think you are having the same problem as this RoundCube Mailing Lists (http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2009-09/0000024.html) ultimatly the best solution is to use an IMAP server which supports sorting, I know thats not particularly helpful but I think it will always be better than doing it on the webserver.
You are right, I'm suffering the same problem. But it seems there won't be a solution to this right now... I agree with the mailing list, I prefer the buggy solution, because it's quick. Is there a possibility to revert the new code in 0.3? If there is, how?
Thanks again
