Mail app

An email app for ownCloud (minimum version 8). At the moment it is a basic IMAP client and in heavy development. (A possibility for the future would be to also have it be a dedicated email server. But that would always be optional, require additional dependencies and is out of scope for now.)

We’re working towards a 0.1 release at the moment. If you experience any issues or have enhancement suggestions, please report them in our issue tracker.

Developer setup info

Just clone this repo into your apps directory (ownCloud Core installation needed). Additionally you need Composer to install dependencies:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

Resetting the app

Connect to your database and run the following commands where oc_ is your table prefix (defaults to oc_)

DELETE FROM oc_appconfig WHERE appid = 'mail';
DROP TABLE oc_mail_accounts;

Go to ownCloud Mail in the browser and run this from the developer console to clear the cache:

localStorage.clear();

Configuration

Certain advanced or experimental features need specific enablement in config.php:

Debug mode

You can enable IMAP backend logging. A horde.log will appear in the same directory as your owncloud.log.

'app.mail.imaplog.enabled' => true

Server-side caching

Mailbox messages and accounts can be cached on the ownCloud server to reduce mail server load: This requires a valid memcache to be configured

'app.mail.server-side-cache.enabled' => true
