Roundcube webmail on FreeBSD
If you haven’t seen roundcube webmail yet, it’s an eye-candy web based email client based on IMAP protocol. The project has not released version 1.0 yet after two years but being actively developed. If you are interested, there is also a trac website available for the project.
I used to create nightly snapshots from the cvs since 2005, however the project recently announced they are publishing nightly snapshots on their website (finally!).
Enough for an introduction to roundcube.
I have been the maintainer of this project in FreeBSD ports tree for more than a year now, and tried to keep the port up to date using the snapshots I make once in a while.
Using ports, you can easily install and update roundcube on a FreeBSD server.
If you are interested, there are a few tutorials on the net that can help you installing roundcube on your server and get the most out of it:
- Setup Roundcube on FreeBSD
- HOWTO: Install Roundcube Webmail from SVN (was CVS) on FreeBSD
- HOW TO: Setup RoundCube Webmail on Your Server
I have been lazy in updating the ports I maintain in ports tree recently. However a number of patches are ready to be tested and committed once I find sometime during next weekend.
