The simple example will show you all you need to know. Handles all those crazy command-line options for ya, nice.
Avelsieve is a really nicely done web interface for email rules. It is a plugin for Squirrelmail, a tried-and-true webmail client, that works with a cyrus IMAP server, another old dog that is a nightmare to install but gets the job done no matter what it is.
The system has been handling my email for years, but for the past few months, I haven’t been able to get Avelsieve to edit my email rules. It’s very picky about compatibility. Today I finally dug in and fixed that. Apparently cyrus updates broke avelsieve, but there’s a workaround. Turned out to be one line in the avelsieve config file, updated as follows:
# MDM Will this fix the problem of not decoding scripts?
# MDM YES! IT DOES! Thank goodness.
# see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.plugins/14106
#$avelsieve_disabletls = false;
$avelsieve_disabletls = true;Yay! My pretty and powerful email rules are back!
I’ve been banging my head trying to figure out why Squirrelmail is dog-slow retrieving headers from my cyrus imap server on large mail folders. Squirrelmail 1.15 has been hard-masked for a WHILE, gentoo only likes 1.4. I un-hard-masked it (add it to package.unmask AND package.keywords), and it looks rough, but GREAT… FAST! Finally apparently using squatter indexes and/or imap SORT… javascript/ajaxy… will keep tweaking it…
I turned on mod_deflate, but I clobbered SSI, breaking boxcarkid.com.
Config files that still need tweaking:
/home/m/config/apache2/machine_globals.conf
/home/m/config/apache2/virtualhosts/boxcarkid.confAlso upgraded my StartCom certificate, pretty easy! Thanks guys!
What a horrible trial-and-error life web designers lead! After too much hair-pulling, this site now looks as it should on IE7. Issues:
- IE7 does not like div tags between li tags – so I reworked everything to oblige
- IE7 requires some hacking with padding and margin to get my rounded corners css to work
I hope I never have to touch it again (but I will).
This site now has pretty valid CSS and XHTML, and resizes pretty well too. Try it out with Ctrl+ to increase text size, Ctrl- to decrease. Change the resolution. Stretch it, pull it, bend it – better than Stretch Armstrong! (sorry, no green goo though…)
