Title: Multiple Accounts
Post by: PureLoneWolf on November 23, 2009, 05:26:49 AM

This is probably staring me in the face, but I am quite possibly suffering a meltdown.

I am looking to move away from having a local client on my PC and move to web only.

I have tried to use Gmail and other offerings, but I hate the clients they use. I like Roundcube.

The thing is, I have 4 email accounts across 2 domains that I want to use and I would prefer to do it without having to log out/in each time and obviously I would like to have all of my email in one place, not in 4.

Essentially I want to replace Thunderbird with something online.

Can Roundcube do this? Can anything do this?

Many thanks in advance.

Dave

Check accounts plugin from myroundcube bundle (see footer). It is able to switch between multiple IMAP accounts within one session. But it is not able to drag/drop or move messages between different accounts.

Thanks - I saw that, and uploaded it to the plugins folder...but I can't see how to use it.

In your /config/main.inc.php edit the plugin line:

Code Select

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array();
to:

Code Select

$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('accounts');

Thanks - Giving it a try now - Seems to be a reasonable compromise for when I am away from home, it doesn't allow me to drop Thunderbird just yet though unfortunately

Please notice that "accounts" plugins requires "settings" plugin which is bundled with myroundcube plugins.

Thanks - I saw that in the script itself, so I have them both specified in the plugin array.

Works really well. As I say, it's a shame that it can't be made to have all of the accounts downloading into 1 user account and group of folders.

Thanks for the help

What you need is something like "Fetchmail" (Fetchmail (http://fetchmail.berlios.de/)) or GetMail (http://getmail.software.informer.com/4.0/) for Windows.

Hi Dave-
We have the same issue- I want a webmail that works the same as Thunderbird. Did you ever get it set up to operate the same with your multiple addresses?
Thanks
Melanie

Hi

Unfortunately not, the closest I can get is to have a list of accounts that I can choose and it switches to the different inbox..using the methods above.

It's not ideal, but it works for now..
