Webmail: Roundcube installation

RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation and message filters. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and requires the MySQL database. The user interface is fully skinnable using XHTML and CSS 2.

I had this problem that I couldn't save my drafts . This was a new feature after an upgrade I did.
Problem was a missing line in my config file.
—————————————————————————————————————-
// store draft message is this mailbox
// leave blank if draft messages should not be stored
$rcmail_config['drafts_mbox'] = 'Drafts';

 

To be able to read email messages with large attachements adjust the following php settings:
—————————————————————————————————————-

# vi /etc/php.ini

memory_limit = xxM
upload_max_filesize = xxM

If the webserver is running, restart it.
