Hi all, I could really use a file manager or browser to browse my Dovecot IMAP. Ideally it would have hotkeys to move, copy, delete and send. The send part needn't be coded: Just a call to a shellscript which can handle the send the way it's locally the most convenient. Anyone know of such a file manager or browser for IMAP?

Why not use thunderbird (or any other IMAP talking client)? :-) Ionel On 24.09.19 00:14, Steve Litt via dovecot wrote:> Hi all, > > I could really use a file manager or browser to browse my Dovecot IMAP. > Ideally it would have hotkeys to move, copy, delete and send.

Thunderbird is an absolute pig, taking hours to load my Dovecot IMAP. Claws-mail is good, but I have some problems with it. Alpine appears not to be ready for prime time to act as a window into IMAP. Same with the rest I've tried.

From a GUI there are plenty to choose from - I use Evolution, but Thunderbird, KMail, Claws Mail, Balsa (I could go on and on, there are dozens) are all usable. With larger mail stores you probably only want to do a full sync of every message in the mail store, just the folders and message headers should be enough, make sure you take the time to configure the MUA properly. Mostly the choice of desktop MUA is down to user preference for things like "look and feel", threading behaviour. Most MUA's don't have support for sieve/managesieve, and I did once get caught out trying to use the Claws managesieve interface ... apparently it can't handle nested match configurations and my sieve script is heavily nested to reduce match time for lists and other things. I would recommend trying a few and seeing what works for you. My personal preference is Evolution, because it has decent threading and supports my caldav/carddav server out of the box (It's basically a dropin replacement for what MS Outlook does on Windows machines). Another option is a webmail interface - I use Roundcube, but Horde is another php based one, there is perl webmail interface called CiderWebmail. Running a webmail interface on the same machine as the dovecot instance makes it quick and responsive. Again the choice comes down to what features you want, and what you a willing to run on the server. - -- Nikolai Lusan <nikolai at lusan.id.au> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEVfd4GW6z4nsBxdLo4ZaDRV2VL6QFAl2KEVIACgkQ4ZaDRV2V L6RSYg//baK9bLN0u4uO47F9eX2v6m8mlESFu+AEZ5vFVVHv/6kMUw+5Nf+RvOML 5ZwheaABmZiAAe76KTvtCX2UkWk5+0p+Ck/9JEOeIaMnMSr2I0rtKLWEnNGN5HZ4 ZlSmpA0XgTgwF/OHIXdLn3oNV244PJ/J5zi/wwazEtvot6sCyMUozkN0T49nvrNO zvFbby6BbqQ+hm+110oFsU7di/+ixcdCDDu6CaGKhQVWeAH0mp2nGjB6+G5fekVQ z0mUj20uWJBGGM/LQOekkuofbnmVF3Fcx8zVVu7C99MGBsnE8pWvC7IBtFUSPRR2 c4GLMEcKE4b34eWh6UgPPYoO/M+TRYOnFBRUGcvcohOIMFck7dyFZRdOgaur3XDX dwtRr5Rd+972r27di68P3T6F0bwxT0uXhFcPXKl6Wbxl7RbsPe47vHwiXw65NY7g H29ZDHQxorzi1vIxIXVsrqO70laEOO+cS3Ab3sJRKAn9T12JtE26+AmN/547FS5y XYzbE0qdXueJgJkdH4ApJTpcBJh1Hg7BVfsHuqQ8PLnXt9Mf3FDjaq/rYznGYRiV Bo7uF8s5tJenkE3sZHoqxrqhwDSdDqVhwUlUtTBR4gMck8kQ8Smrw+g/adM/8efJ ZlCJ6YEPzf+eTsoGi97mmSdXjr5quD4D4SpVqSMsQO1moIudXQM=8+4n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
