Has anyone written a webmail app in Rails + ActiveMail ? If not, who wants to? CD Baby can pay for development, and keep it BSD-licensed. -- Derek Sivers, CD Baby, HostBaby http://cdbaby.com http://hostbaby.com
yo, a full ajax, modern webmail client that looks incredible, uses proper xhtml & css, has features like auto-draft saving in browsers, live spell check, live search, folders, threading and other goodness would be killer. I''m using SquirrelMail for my hosting clients right now, it''s a piece of shit. Depending on your schedule, I would be happy to give you a bid for the whole thing :) _a> Has anyone written a webmail app in Rails + ActiveMail ? > > If not, who wants to?

I don''t know all that much about mail. I''d love to help, though, and if nobody else steps up I''ll take a stab at it :) Ben
You mean something like a replacement for Squirrelmail and the like, using IMAP?

Just had a look - while that''s fine / interesting, I took the original query to mean basically a rails copy of SquirrelMail (well, with a good ui, modern features, etc etc - but same basic idea). That''s more like a customer service app, which is fine, but it''s not really webmail. Anyone interested in building a SquirrelMail replacement that''s rails and suitable for large scale hosting? _alex> Testing the new O''Reilly Connection thing, I just posted a description > of the project, here: > > http://connection.oreilly.com/users/hiring/viewjob.php?job_id=41 > > I guess just contact me through that interface if you''re interested. > Let''s see how this thing works. > > -- > Derek Sivers, CD Baby, HostBaby > http://cdbaby.com http://hostbaby.com > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >
I''m actually in the process of writing a GMail-style webmail system. I''ve got the basic storage done, using my 4 years of back mail as a database. It uses RMail, I''m planning to write an injection script driven by a .forward file to populate the database as mail comes in. It''s not a SquirrelMail clone, because it doesn''t talk to IMAP or POP, it uses an RDBMS to store the mail. It has contact management, which might be useful for what you want - matching a particular contact based on one or many email addresses. The back end works pretty well, there''s almost no front end yet (well, TOra :-) ). My main problem is lack of time :( Cheers, Colin On 31/07/05, alex black <enigma-16h2cdTTKgpzNNFeSAH1EA@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Just had a look - while that''s fine / interesting, I took the original query to mean basically a rails copy of SquirrelMail (well, with a good ui, modern features, etc etc - but same basic idea). > > That''s more like a customer service app, which is fine, but it''s not really webmail. > > Anyone interested in building a SquirrelMail replacement that''s rails and suitable for large scale hosting? > > _alex > > > > Testing the new O''Reilly Connection thing, I just posted a description > > of the project, here: > > > > http://connection.oreilly.com/users/hiring/viewjob.php?job_id=41 > > > > I guess just contact me through that interface if you''re interested. > > Let''s see how this thing works. > > > > -- > > Derek Sivers, CD Baby, HostBaby > > http://cdbaby.com http://hostbaby.com > > _______________________________________________ > > Rails mailing list > > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >
very cool. re: backend, I think most people that would put your app into production would need (and this write or get written) at minimuim an imap backend. for example, all the customers I host use a mix of pop3 and imap (webmail) for their email, and I couldn''t afford to force them to use the webmail system because it wanted to hork the mail into its own DB tables. (unless you used a DB backend for the LMTP / SMTP MTA so all mail storage was in a DB and access could be direct DB, IMAP or POP. That would be neato :) _a> I''m actually in the process of writing a GMail-style webmail system. > I''ve got the basic storage done, using my 4 years of back mail as a > database.

Heya, Have you taken a look at DBMail? No need to mess with parsing mail to store in the DB, just get it to go from postfix to dbmail and all done. It''s pretty stable and offers IMAP and POP3. Also it runs in postgres and makes it very easy to write a frontend. Dylan.>Has anyone written a webmail app in Rails + ActiveMail ? > >If not, who wants to?

Reasonably, but I no longer have access to the source (closed project). It was my newbie project, so I''m sure it could be done again quickly.

Luben-
That screenshot looks very nice. I''d love to see the source. I
also need a replacement for Squirrel mail. How are you accessing the
email? IMAP, POP or something else?
Looks nice though

So we do everything in MySQL except the mail storage itself. That''s still in virtual mail directories and can be read by any file browser that can also parse a mail header ... - Jason

Jason A. Hoffman said:> And at least on our end the decision was to go along the lines of > http://www.courier-mta.org/sqwebmail/Wow...you''re kidding.

That looks great...can''t wait to see it opened....with the work you''ve done and the apparent interest from the community, this could definitely be the SquirrelMail/Horde-IMP killer!

>>What format are the messages stored in? > Hopefully it''s just an IMAP client and doesn''t know or care what format the messages are in ;)Exactly. It''s just an IMAP client. Our IMAP backend is based on Ben Stiglitz''s IMAP backend implementation (http://rebma.cit.cornell.edu/~bs235/projects/imap-backend/) with some improvements.>>I have already implemented webmail system in Rails.

Dear All, With regard to what Jason has said above, I''d like to let you know that I will soon be starting work on a Rails mail client that will interface directly with a Maildir/Maildir++. The implementation details will probably end up being fairly similar to those of SqWebMail, as mentioned by Jason. I''ll let you know when we''ve worked out some more details. Similarly, if anyone would like to help, please feel free to send me an email at this address and we can have a talk. Regards, Nick Stenning
I wrote something to let me read and delete mail on a pop server. It''s alpha quality though: www.mailcar.co.uk <http://www.mailcar.co.uk> To be honest, it probably won''t work for you but have a look anyway. ***NOTE*** When you hit DELETE, it removes the message from the server FOREVER.

I am happy to announce the first public release of the mailr webmail
system - http://mailr.org
What is Mailr
============
Mailr is a webmail application written in Ruby which uses Ruby On Rails
web application framework. The application is tested with Courier-IMAP
but it should be possible to use it with any other IMAP server.
Features:
* Uses IMAP protocol
* Caches IMAP server connections
* HTML and plaintext message composition
* Addressbook (contacts) with possible import from CSV file
* Ajax based autocomplete of email addresses
* Mail filters based on Maildrop
* i18n based on Sascha Ebach''s manual
Project''s homepage is http://mailr.org
Download the release from http://rubyforge.org/projects/mailr or get the
latest code from http://mailr.org/wiki/LatestCode
Best regards,
Luben

Hey Luben, On 8/1/05, Luben Manolov <lubo-RDMQEhlW3RBAfugRpC6u6w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am happy to announce the first public release of the mailr webmail > system - http://mailr.orgCool! One thing you might want to consider is moving away from hierarchical folders. I just saw this on del.icio.us earlier: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/HierarchyVersusFacetsVersusTags which I think puts some good scientific data to a general trend people are discovering: hierarchical foldering sucks for organization. I would think something like gmail labels, but maybe an even easier way to tag mails would be very cool. Britt

I noticed on your Trac install that there is no way to view existing tickets aside from using Search. Can you set this feature up? Thanks! (and thanks for releasing mailr!) John

I haven''t had a chance to look into it, but I''ll see if I can figure out what''s up. It seems to have some issues with the Net::IMAP libraries issuing a "SORT" command when it shouldn''t be. Just thought I''d let everybody know. Cheers, bs.

If I may make a suggestion in the README file of the mailr app. Rather than write: "2. Create database for mailr. Use db/schema.mysql.sql" May I suggest: "2. Create a database called mailr. 3. Create the database schema with db/schema.mysql.sql" The previous way of writing made it sound as if the user should create the database using the db/schema.mysql.sql file. Since the sql file does not contain a create database statement, users will run into errors when trying to execute the sql to create the database. I realize that this is splitting hairs, but for those who don''t necessarily posses the knowledge of mysql, or sql in generally, this might be easier. The other option of course would be to include a "create database mailr; use mailr" sql in your sql file, but there are a number of cases when it is handy to have the schema separate than the actual creation of the database. For instance, this is useful when you are with a hosting provider who requires all database creations to be administered from a web-gui, rather than the comman prompt, or with root privileges. Thanks. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D''Andrew Thompson http://dathompson.blogspot.com
Hi D''Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion. The line which you mentioned now looks like: "2. Create database called mailr. Create the database schema using db/schema.mysql.sql or db/schema.pgsql.sql" Best regards, Luben D''Andrew Thompson wrote:> If I may make a suggestion in the README file of the mailr app. > > Rather than write: > > "2.
