Hi all,

after completing the installation i get the login screen (which is normal, i think) but somehow i keep getting back errors ('login failed', or 'coneetion with imap failed').

My first Question is, i dont have/need an imap connection so why this errormessage?
when i write my own simple script to login (with a pop3 connection) it all goes fine, a username (the email adress) and the password are therefore fine, but what do i have to fill in at 'server'?

thanks

RoundCube does not work with POP3. You need an IMAP server.

hmm well since i dont have my own server, that is going to be a problem.
you dont happen to know an other web client that uses a mysql DB to store the emails (like roundcube).

thanks for the help

thanks for your fast reply, but that webclient (like most others) dont work with a database where they store the emails in. most clients just keep read from the mailserver what is still in your inbox and use a DB for some user information. RoundCube is the only one that i could find that really stores the email in the database.

if you have any other sugestion i'd love to hear it.

False, RoundCube does only cache the message structure and headers not the whole message in the database.
