<p>Deagol,</p><p>I've now done exactly the same installation on a Windows 2003 server, and everything works. My issues must be specific to IIS 5.</p><p>Thanks for your help.</p><p>Richard </p><p> </p>

<p>Has anyone here got RoundCube webmail working with Mercury?</p><p>I have it partially working. I seem to be able to send & receive mail through it, but the first of several problems is that mail folders don't show up. </p><p>I'm using</p><p>Mercury 4.72, IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Server, php 5.2.10, roundcube 0.2.2 and postgresql </p><p> </p><p>Richard </p>

<P>I have Rouncube and Mercury working in the following setup: Mercury 4.72 on Windows 2003 (IIS 6), php 5.2.10, Roundcube 0.2.2, MySQL 5.</P> <P> I do not encounter the problems you described. Perhaps you have some php/roundcube/mercury configuration issues, we need some more information in order to be able to determine the problem (php.ini/roundcube config files, mercury.ini). </P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>

<p>Hi Deagol, </p> <p>[quote user="Deagol"]</p> <p>we need some more information in order to be able to determine the problem (php.ini/roundcube config files, mercury.ini). </p> <p mce_keep="true"> [/quote]</p> <p mce_keep="true">Here is my Roundcube  main.inc.php file. I'll could post other config files as well if that would help. I think my Mercury installation is ok as when using Pegasus to connect to it, folders are visible. Also, looking at the IMAP session log when Roundcube connects to Mercury, although I don't understand the IMAP protocol, it does look as though Mercury is sending Roundcube a list of folders. I've pasted such an IMAP session below the php file. Also, the various folders are visible in the in the Roundcube/Personal Settings/Folders, so somehow Roundcube has learnt of their existance. However if I try and check the  Roundcube/Personal Settings/Folders/subscribed checkbox I get an 'Unknown Server Error!' message, which also occurs if I try and create a new folder. In the 'message view' of RC, folders are not visible at all.</p> <p mce_keep="true">Thanks for your help,</p> <p mce_keep="true">Richard </p> <hr> Roundcube  main.inc.php <hr> <p mce_keep="true"><?php /* </p>  +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+  | Main configuration file                                               |  |                                                                       |  | This file is part of the RoundCube Webmail client                     |  | Copyright (C) 2005-2009, RoundCube Dev. - Switzerland                 |  | Licensed under the GNU GPL                                            |  |                                                                       |  +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ */ $rcmail_config = array(); // system error reporting: 1 = log; 2 = report (not implemented yet), 4 = show, 8 = trace $rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1; // log driver:  'syslog' or 'file'. $rcmail_config['log_driver'] = 'file'; // Syslog ident string to use, if using the 'syslog' log driver. $rcmail_config['syslog_id'] = 'roundcube'; // Syslog facility to use, if using the 'syslog' log driver. // For possible values see installer or http://php.net/manual/en/function.openlog.php $rcmail_config['syslog_facility'] = LOG_USER; // use this folder to store log files (must be writeable for apache user) // This is used by the 'file' log driver. $rcmail_config['log_dir'] = 'logs/'; // use this folder to store temp files (must be writeable for apache user) $rcmail_config['temp_dir'] = 'temp/'; // enable caching of messages and mailbox data in the local database. // this is recommended if the IMAP server does not run on the same machine $rcmail_config['enable_caching'] = TRUE; // lifetime of message cache // possible units: s, m, h, d, w $rcmail_config['message_cache_lifetime'] = '1m'; // automatically create a new RoundCube user when log-in the first time. // a new user will be created once the IMAP login succeeds. // set to false if only registered users can use this service $rcmail_config['auto_create_user'] = TRUE; // the mail host chosen to perform the log-in // leave blank to show a textbox at login, give a list of hosts // to display a pulldown menu or set one host as string. // To use SSL/TLS connection, enter hostname with prefix ssl:// or tls:// $rcmail_config['default_host'] = '10.2.1.100'; // TCP port used for IMAP connections $rcmail_config['default_port'] = 143; // IMAP auth type.

<P>This has probably become an off-topic issue, since Mercury does not seem to be the problem here. I'll take my chances though, until someone objects..   ;-)</P> <P>Glad to see you saw some folders appear. Did you subscribe to the folders you created? If not, they won't show up in your list!
