Address Book about rainloop-webmail HOT 30 CLOSED

In the latest version (1.5.0), we have updated the address book functionality.
It now supports the collected addresses.

Note that the new contacts need support for MySQL (PDO), as they require a quick search.

Sorry to hijack the post, does Rainloop automatically collects the addresses then?

from rainloop-webmail.

When you send a new message RainLoop writes TO field emails to address book (but they are hidden in the contact list). After that these contacts will appear as suggestions when you write new messages. This all works on the latest version of webmail only (1.5.0.530).

Can mysql be replaced with something easier, like sqlite. So it'll be easier for people to get the address book feature.

from rainloop-webmail.

Yes, we are planning to do so.

from rainloop-webmail.

Implemented in last version (v1.5.1)

Great news, thank you !

Hi, it says above - " When you send a new message RainLoop writes TO field emails to address book (but they are hidden in the contact list). After that these contacts will appear as suggestions when you write new messages. This all works on the latest version of webmail only (1.5.0.530). "

I have Rainloop installed on my domain and I really like it, but the address book feature as described above does not work. Whenever I begin to type in an address that I have previously sent emails to it does not auto complete. Any ideas?

Thanks

@WhiteFalcon77 Enable Settings > Contacts > Automatically add recipients to your address book.

Thanks megadr01d, but I don't have "Contacts" in my settings menu. I only have -

General
Accounts
Security
Folders
Themes

from rainloop-webmail.

Enable it in the admin panel (add ?admin to the URL) under Contacts.

from rainloop-webmail.

Thanks, I followed your instructions and managed to get 'Contacts' into my 'Settings' menu.

'Automatically add recipients to your address book.' is enabled but it is having no effect.

When I manually try to add addresses to 'Contacts' it refuses to save them.

Any ideas?

Did you test the DB (MySQL, SQLite) in the admin panel? Your server needs PDO module support.
Also try to enable logging and post the logs or sendthem to [email protected].

./data/_data_/_default_/configs/application.ini

[logs]
enable = On 

./data/_data_/_default_/logs/*

Hi megadr01d, when I tested the MySQL it said -

SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

When I tested PostgreSQL it said -

SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

When I tested SQLite it was fine

Couldn't find out how to enable logging.

Cheers.

Couldn't find out how to enable logging.

Open application.ini and search for [logs]. Then you can find them in the logs folder (check paths above).
I use SQLite and it works well here.

from rainloop-webmail.

Thanks megadr01d , I am a complete novice, no coding ability at all, so I just changed it to SQLite and now the Contact/ address book works as it should! Thanks a lot.

So, I take it SQLite is just a different type of Database? Would there be any disadvantage to using it?
It warned me not to use it if there were a lot of people accessing the account or something, but it's only me.

Cheers.

@WhiteFalcon77 No problem.

SQLite is file based, fast and it's recommended for a single user (no multi user support).
MySQL is an old standard but demands more configuration on your server (create user and pass, host and port, tables, etc.).

Meh, this website explains it better.

Hi, I'm trying to sign into the admin panel but I can't get access. I am using the same username and password as my email account. is there something I'm doing wrong?

Log in to the admin panel with the admin account. User settings can be changed when logged in as user in the normal webmail interface.

from rainloop-webmail.

I can't get into the admin panel.

It is mydomain.com/webmail/?admin

and my username and password for my email account aren't letting me in.

from rainloop-webmail.

@WhiteFalcon77

If it's the first time you're accessing the admin panel, then

Default login is "admin", password is "12345".

After you login, you can change the admin login and password (they can be different from your webmail credentials).

Thanks, but unfortunately those login details did not work either.

No, it's not the first time I have logged into admin. I did it ages ago when sorting out the Contacts issue outlined above; there was no difficulty using my usual login.

Strange problem....

from rainloop-webmail.

You say

and my username and password for my email account aren't letting me in

and then

there was no difficulty using my usual login.

Your email credentials are one thing (they're bound to your email server). Your admin credentials are another.
My guess is that you must have forgotten your admin credentials so I recommend reinstalling the latest version. It takes 5 minutes to set Rainloop's preferences from scratch.

from rainloop-webmail.

Thanks megadr01d, I'll do that. Are there spam controls in the Admin section?

from rainloop-webmail.

I'm not using Rainloop anymore (or any other selfhosting app since I don't have a domain anymore) but last time I checked there were Sieve filters, if that suits you.

from rainloop-webmail.

Thanks for your help megadr01d, I'll check that out.

My server (OpenLiteSpeed/CyberPanel) uses MariaDB. Is it possible to use the Address Book with this setup?

RainLoop supports MySQL so MariaDB should work without issue. See -> https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/
