Kolab2 Integration with squirrelmail

From Kolab wiki

Squirrelmail is a nice simple webmail client that can be configured for use with kolab quite easily. There is no way to use the kolab calendars, but if you only need mail, it is perfect.

Follow the instructions for installation on http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/InstallingSquirrelmailUnix, then run configure in the squirrelmail directory. There are a couple of things to remember when configuring: By default, it looks for . as the optional delimiter for imap folders, this should be /, here is a section of my config.php that works:

 $imap_server_type       = 'cyrus';
 $invert_time            = false;  
 $optional_delimiter     = '/';
 $encode_header_key      = '';
 $default_folder_prefix  = 'INBOX/';
 $trash_folder           = 'Trash';
 $sent_folder            = 'Sent';
 $draft_folder           = 'Drafts';

The rest of the configure process is quite self-explanatory.

There is also a plugin called avelsieve that allows you to create and maintain server side filters http://email.uoa.gr/projects/squirrelmail/avelsieve.php
