1 - Introduction

    As the world grows ever more interconnected, access to e-mail is becoming more and more of a necessity. Most web mail services respond to this need with an interface that vaguely imitates what most users are accustomed to. Inside Systems responds to this need with Inside Systems Mail, a web mail system that presents a familiar interface and design while taking advantage of current standards to provide a reasonable speed over traditionally slow connections.

    Inside Systems Mail was designed to leave behind version 4 browsers and take advantage of newer standards that allow for a much better webmail experience. Through the heavy use of JavaScript/DOM, it allows the user to interact with their mail and minimize excess downloading/refreshing. Equally at home in both Internet Explorer and Netscape/Mozilla, the dominant browser platforms, Inside Systems Mail can store user settings in any data store of your choosing. It is currently distributed with an encryptable XML class, and a postgresql-backed class, both of which can be extended to handle any additional information you may wish to track.

2 - Requirements

• Server requirements
  
  • Inside Systems Mail has been tested with the courier-imap, uw-imap, and cyrus IMAP servers, but it should work with any reasonably compliant IMAP server as it uses the relatively portable cclient library. It also works with Microsoft Exchange as of version 1.5
  • The base of Inside Systems Mail requires PHP 4.2+ compiled with IMAP and sessions.
  • XML, DOMXML, and PHP 4.3+ are required when using the built-in 'xml' or 'encryptedxml' data store (libxml2-2.5.x is also probably required). This is the default data store, but DOMXML is not compiled into any distribution's PHP by default. Please be sure to do so before reporting any xml.php errors.
  • The mcrypt module (>=2.4) is required to encrypt addressbooks when using the 'encryptedxml' data store. If you have chosen to use the 'encryptedxml' data store and you do not have mcrypt installed, it will fallback to unencrypted xml.
  • Postgresql support must be compiled in when using the included 'pgsql' data store. (An example schema is included in the examples directory)
  • MySQL support must be compiled in when using the included 'mysql4' data store. The provided schema may also work with mysql version <4 provided that transaction support has been compiled in. (An example schema is included in the examples directory)
  • Currently, Aspell is used for the spell-checking function, but the command can be changed to another program just by altering the dictcommand in ismail.conf.
  • Inside Systems Mail has only ever been run on apache, but it will likely run on anything that supports PHP with the necessary extensions compiled in. If you have success with another platform, let us know so we can alter our documentation.
• Browser Requirements
  
  • As a design decision, we decided not to support generation 4 browsers. This allowed a much greater freedom to design features the way that we saw fit. It works in most reasonably modern browsers that have support the Document Object Model and JavaScript.
    
  • Tested to work in IE5+, Mozilla 1.0+, Safari Beta 2, Netscape Navigator 6+ (mostly works in Konqueror as of version 3.1.1, but some crucial CSS-DOM elements are not implemented yet, Mac/IE has lots of DOM issues and crashes often)

3 - Installation

     The installation Inside Systems Mail is relatively straightforward once you have all of the prerequisites taken care of. Simply unpack the tarball into its own directory, set up up the ismail.conf file for your local installation, and point a URL at it from your webserver. Specifically you should point the URL at login.php but there is an included index.php that should redirect to login.php as well.

4 - Configuration

    The configuration of Inside Systems Mail has changed dramatically between version 1.6 and 1.7. 1.7 Now includes a standardized configuration file that is no longer written in PHP, various types of meta-configuration (imap flavors, domain sorting, etc.), and full support for visual themes. Most installations will only need to copy over the ismail.conf.sample file in the include directory to ismail.conf and edit the settings to fit with their mail setup. More advanced users may wish to try their hand at creating or customizing visual themes with a set of customized graphics and an istheme.conf file (a sample istheme.conf containing all of the possible theme configuration directives file can be found in the include directory).

4.1 - Configuration File

    Once your Inside Systems Mail distribution is unpacked into the directory you have chosen to install it in you need to create an ismail.conf file in your include directory before it will function. The simplest way to do this is to copy the included ismail.conf.sample file over to ismail.conf. However, your ismail.conf file need not contain every directive listed in the sample file. Any directive you do not wish to override from the defaults listed in the sample file can be left out.

    The configuration file itself is broken up into sections. Each section is started with the name of the section followed by a colon on a line by itself - for instance:
default:
example.net
The default section allows you to set defaults that will, unless overridden, apply to every domain your installation provides a web mail portal for. All other sections are assumed to be domain names you are serving mail for and should contain any overrides to parameters listed under default: that apply to that domain. As noted in the sample file itself:

# This file contains various settings that can be altered on a global or # per domain basis to suit your particular installation. The first # section sets global settings that apply (unless overridden) to all # mail domains hosted on your server. You may then have subsequent # domain specific sections that change those defaults on a per-domain # basis. Lines begining with # characters are ignored as comments. # section names must exist on a line by themselves and must end with a # colon. Whitespace at the beginning and the end of lines is ignored. # Any configuration variable that is not set will be given a default # value. All sections other than default are assumed to be additional # hosted domains on your site and must be listed to appear - even if you define # no additional or alternate parameters for them.

    Once you have a configuration file copied over and ready to edit there are several settings you will need to alter/check to get a basic setup working:

• imap-flavor - This is the type of imap server you are running and is absolutely necessary for a working installation. Currently supported flavors are listed in the sample configuration file.
  
• server - be default set to 127.0.0.1, this is the IP address your IMAP server is listening on (127.0.0.1 is usually a good default since you are nornally runing Inside Systems Mail on the same machine as the IMAP server).
  
• usernameprefix/usernamesuffix - When a user logs in they are prompted for a username and a password. If your server uses usernames of the form user@domain.com or domain-user or user%key, etc. you may want to allow your user the convenience of only typing in the user portion of the username and filling in the rest automatically based on the domain chosen. Username prefix and usernamesuffix will be added to the beginning and the end of the user supplied username before using it to log into the imap server. In most cases these settings are interpreted as straight strings, but they can also both take the special value domain (not in quotes) which will be replaced by the domain the user is attempting to log into.
  
• email - This determines how the user's username is converted into their email address for sending purposes. $ variables in the setting are expanded as needed. The available variables are:
  • $username - the name they logged in with
  • $domain - the domain they are logging into
  • $usernameprefix - if set above
  • $usernamesuffix - if set above
• mailprogram - This is the command line called by Inside Systems Mail to actually send mail. It is passed the email address of the sender and the mail to be sent is piped into it. Sample lines for exim and sendmail are included in the sample configuration file and should work well for most installations.

    The final thing you must do is list each domain you are providing webmail for as a section. This must be done even if the section for a particular domain contains no overrides to the default configuration. The sections will be read in and provided as a drop-down list on the login page. Obviously you may include configuration directives under each domain section that override the default configuration as needed or desired.

4.2 - Permissions

     There is a users directory which contains all of the attachment/forward files for each specific user. It must be readable/writeable by the webserver user in order for attachments/forward to function properly. Also, when using either of the xml data stores, the users directory is where the addressbook is written.

4.3 - Advanced Configuration

    There are a number of advanced configuration directives available beyond the basic ones need to get a functioning installation. Some of them enable additonal functionality (like spell checking), while others allow you to tweak the way mail is sent or retrieved in a fine-grained fashion. All of the available directives, along with descriptions, are listed in the sample configuration file (although many are commented out by default). Some require the installation of external helper programs, while others require changes to the workings of your imap or smtp server. Make certain you have a detailed understanding of your system and setup before altering the default values or enabling new features.

4.3.1 - IMAP Specific Settings

     Not sure what some of the settings for your IMAP server are? Check the list below and see if it helps you out. Anyone using one of the included falvors probably only needs this information to satisfy curiosity and does not need to set anything explicitely. (And if you are using one that isn't in the list below, can you tell us so we can add it?)

• Courier-IMAP
  • Root Folder Path   INBOX
  • Folder Separator   . (a period)
  • Server-side Sorting   Courier-IMAP does support server sorting, but it can be disabled in the imapd configuration file by setting IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT=1. If it is disabled, no mail will show up in the maillist at all until the server sorting is set to '0' in issettings.php.
• Microsoft Exchange
  • Root Folder Path should be set to a blank string. ("")
  • Folder Separator   /
  • Server-side sorting   Exchange does not support server-side sorting. Set to '0'.
• Mercury Mail Mercury Mail is not fully supported by Inside Systems Mail. There are several issues with folder display/adding.
  • Root Folder Path should be set to a blank string. ("")
  • Folder Separator   /
• UW-IMAP
  • Root Folder Path should be set to a blank string. ("")
• Binc IMAP Server
  • Folder Separator   /

4.4 - Themes

    As of version 1.7 full support for visual themes has been added to Inside Systems Mail. Themes allow you to easily change the look, and to some extent, the layout of Inside Systems Mail. Included with the base install are 3 themes:

• default - This is the default theme that corresponds to the look and feel in use pre 1.7.
  
• grayscale - A sample theme included just as an example of how theming is done. It is simply a grayscale version of the default theme.
  
• small - a theme optimized for people with minimal screen space. Right now this theme only goes as far as squishing the top button bar and reducing the button sizes by removing text.

    The theme configuration file is, to some degree, ever changing as new portions of Inside Systems Mail are themed and the sample configuration file should be considered the authority when it comes to which parameters are available. That said the theme configuration file follows some basic rules.

1. Each directive must be placed on its own line.
2. Lines beginning with # and lines consisting only of whitespace are ignored.
3. Any directive not listed in your theme file will be replaced by a (hopefully) sensible default.
4. Whitespace in general is ignored.
5. If it makes sense for a setting to cascade it probably will (for instance, setting link-color without setting addressbook-link-color will cause addressbook-link-color to take on the same value as link-color).

    Themes are stored in directories in the graphics/themes directory. The directory holding the theme determines the name of the theme and that directory must contain every graphic necessary to render Inside Systems Mail as well as a file based on the istheme.conf.sample file in the include directory named istheme.conf that provides additional (non-graphic) theme information. The theme used is set with the themedir directive in ismail.conf in the include directory and may of course differ for different domains.

5 - Usage

     Inside Systems Mail was modeled after common MUA's like Outlook Express, Mozilla Mail, etc. As such, the usage is pretty straightforward once the system itself is installed. There are unfortunately a few differences that are difficult to overcome because of the limitations of a web browser, but as many familiar shortcuts have been added like arrow-key message navigation, delete shortcuts, multiple selections with shift- and ctrl- modifiers, etc.

5.1 - Viewing

• Once logged in, a list of your IMAP folders will appear in the 'Folder List' pane on the left. By clicking on any of the folders on the left, the 'Message List' pane on the right should fill with all of your messages in that folder.
  
• If your IMAP server is configured to allow server-side sorting (an option available in Courier-IMAP), then you can sort your messages by clicking on the white headers like most commona MUA's. If your imap server does not allow sorting, then Inside Systems Mail will currently not work.
  
• To view different messages, simply click on the message in the 'Message List' that you wish to view, and it should load in the 'Message View' pane in the lower right.
  
• To view the headers for any particular message that you are looking at, simply click on the 'View Headers' link at the right of the bar above the message and a window will appear with the headers for that message.
  
• Different attachments are handled in different ways. If an attachment can be displayed in-line (gifs, jpgs, pngs, etc), then they will be seperated by a <HR> element and displayed. To download a graphic displayed in-line, simply right-click on it and save it to disk according to your browser. For attachments that cannot be displayed in-line (PDF's, excel files, etc), they will appear as a link at the bottom of the e-mail along with their type and size. To download one, just click on it.
  
• If you have the 'dict' function enabled, you can double-click on any word in an e-mail message to get a window with a definition of that word in it. Likewise, you can click on any word in the dictionary window to get another, and so forth.
  
• Like most other MUA's, when the focus is on the 'Mail List' pane, you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate up and down through your mail.
  
• As of version 1.5, if you have very large mailboxes, you can limit the number of messages that are displayed at once. This massively speeds up large mailboxes due to smaller webserver<->IMAP server interactions and smaller page downloads.

5.2 - Moving

• Moving Mail Using the Move Mail Button
  • Once you have highlighted one or more messages using the mouse (often in conjunction with the shift and ctrl keys to select groups of messages) you can move the highlighted mail to another folder. Clicking the "Move Mail" button in the top bar will bring up a dialog with a list of your current folders that you can navigate to choose the folder you wish to move the mail to. When a folder has been chosen, the title of the dialog and the submit button of the dialog with change to reflect the name of the chosen folder. Clicking the submit button at this point will move the mail.
• Moving Mail with Drag and Drop
  • Highlighted mail can also be moved with a drag and drop operation. As of ISMail version 1.5.3, highlighted mail can be dragged to a folder in the left-hand folder list to move it without bringing up a secondary dialog. NOTE: This feature is still in beta form and has problems with folder lists that scroll off the screen.

5.3 - Sending

• Getting to the 'Compose Mail' window
  • For a new recipient, click on the 'New Mail' button on the top bar of the main page.
  • To send a message to a person in your addressbook, either click on their name from the 'Address Book' pane in the lower left corner or click on their name from the 'Address Book' window.
  • The 'Reply' and 'Reply All' button are self-explanatory. If you have the 'When replying, add new recipients to the address book' option set in your user settings, then replying to a person will automatically add them to your addressbook. The addressbook does it's best to be reasonably intelligent about multiple e-mail addresses for the same person.
  • The 'Forward' button is similar to 'Reply', but will not fill in a recipient and will attach any attachments that may have been sent to you.
• Sending mail from the 'Compose Mail' window
  • Most fields are self-explanatory; 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc', and the main body of the message.
  • Attachments may be added by clicking the 'Attach' button. When clicked, a file field will appear where you can choose a file to attach to the e-mail. This button can be clicked multiple times to attach multiple files. If you change your mind and wish to delete an attachment, just click on the 'Delete' link next to the attachments themselves.
  • When ready to send an e-mail, click on 'Send' and a message indicating that the e-mail is being sent should appear in the upper-left corner. When the e-mail has been sent, the window should close.
  • As of version 1.1, the ability to spell check using aspell has been added.
  • As of version 1.5, the ability to request receipts has been added. To use, simply check the appropriate checkbox before sending.
  • After version 1.6.2, identities now match to the 'To' address of a message when replying. This is called 'sticky addresses' in other MUA's.

5.4 - Deleting

     Like most MUA's, there are several ways to go about deleting e-mail.

• When a message in the 'Mail List' pane is highlighted, simply click on the 'Delete Mail' icon and the message will be deleted.
• If the focus is on the 'Mail List' pane, you can hit the 'delete' key to delete a piece of mail.
• Like selection, you can delete multiple pieces of mail at once but using shift- and ctrl- as modifiers to clicking.

5.5 - Settings

     There are a variety of settings that can be saved on a per-user basis to tailor your webmail experience to your personal preferences.

• General Settings
  • Auto-add reply recipients to addressbook Some people prefer that when replying to somebody, that person gets automatically added to their addressbook.
  • Strip <SCRIPT> tags This is a security feature which will remove all script tags from an e-mail. Due to the fact that Inside Systems Mail is nothing more than an extremely fancy web page, it is susceptible to a variety of attacks based on javascript that could disrupt normal usage. If you are paranoid about people crafting malicious script emails at you, enable this option.
  • Open hyperlinks in new windows Often, an HTML formatted e-mail will contain links to other websites. If you want these links to open in a new window, enable this option. Otherwise, the link will be opened in the mail view pane.
  • Read Receipt Behavior When you get an e-mail requesting a receipt that it has been read, you can choose to always return a receipt, always ask, or never return a receipt. The default is to ask.
  • 'Mark As Read' delay Some people like a small delay when marking new mail as read. Some people like mail to be marked as read immediately. This option dictates this behavior.
  • Automatic e-mail checking/Auto-refresh interval Inside Systems Mail will check for new mail by default every 60 seconds. Unchecking 'auto-refresh' or changing the interval will alter this behavior.
  • Message Limiting Slow connections or large mailboxes and make loading messages very slow. This feature give the ability to limit the number of messages that are downloaded to save bandwidth and speed load-times.
• Identities
  • Identity Name This is what shows up in the drop-down when you are choosing which identity to send mail from.
  • Display Name When sending out e-mails, this is the name that will display in the "From" field. This is typically where one puts a real name like 'Kelley Reynolds'. If left blank, it will only display your e-mail address.
  • Reply-to Address This can be different than the sending address if you wish people to reply to a different address.
  • Organization Some MUA's support an 'Organization' header which will display somewhere in the header of the e-mail. Inside Systems Mail implements this by placing the Organization in parenthesis next to the 'From:' in the blue bar above the 'view message' pane in the lower right.
  • Signature Signatures are what will be appended to each outgoing e-mail sent from this identity. It's most common use if for disclaimer or contact information.

5.6 - Subscription

     One of the features that IMAP presents is folder subscription. This allows some folders to be archived for later use without cluttering the MUA and sharing folders among many people. To that end, Inside Systems Mail incorporates a reasonably simple subscription front-end. By clicking on the 'subscribe' button, you can just subscribe and unsubscribe from folders at will. When a folder is subscribed, the icon will appear open and the folder name will be in bold. When a folder is not subscribed, the icon will appear closed and the folder name will be non-bold italic. When done choosing which folders to be subscribed to, just click on 'Update Subscription' at the bottom of the page and the folder list pane should refresh with your new settings.

6 - Extending Inside System Mail

     Inside Systems Mail is designed to be as extensible as possible. To that end we've created themes, abstract data stores, and easily extensible option settings.

• Data Stores Data stores allow Inside Systems Mail to easily adapt to nearly any method of storing data you prefer whether it be SQL, XML, LDAP, or any other method of your devising.
• Option Settings If you have any custom options you wish to add to the code, they get added in a central location and the only thing you have to do is make the option do something. It automatically renders on the settings page, saves to the data store, and gets reloaded into the session on login.
• Themes Themes allow the look and feel of Inside Systems Mail to be more easily altered to suit custom portals, users with lower screen real-estate, or to just generally have a good time. For more information on themes, refer to the themes section previously in the documentation.

6.1 - Data Stores

     Part of the power of Inside System Mails lies in the flexibility of it's data stores. A template file (include/addressbooktemplate.class) has been provided to help you create your own data store if you want one. There are three main sections of data to the addressbook. There are entries, identities, and settings. The entries are the actual entries of other people in your addressbook, the identities are the various identities through which you send mail, and the settings are settings that tailor the behavior of Inside Systems Mail.

• AddressBook() This is the constructor function. It has no arguments.
• Adding and Retrieving Settings
  • SetSetting($setting, $value) Sets a particular setting to a particular value
  • SetSorting($field) Sets the sorting to a particular field. Arguments should be either 'from', 'subject', or 'date'. By convention, if SetSorting() is called twice with the same argument, the field should remain the same and the 'asc' or 'desc' should toggle.
  • GetSettings() This function has no arguments and returns a hash of settings to the user
• Adding, Removing, and Modifying Addressbook Entries
  • GetEntryInfo($entryid) GetEntryInfo takes a single argument that is the unique id of an entry. It returns a hash with the keys
    • first First name
    • middle Middle name
    • last Last name
    • nickname Nickname
    • default The default e-mail address in case there is more than one
    • name The full, formatted name
    • emails An integer-indexed array of the e-mail addresses that belong to the entry
  • SetEntryName($entryid, $name) Arguments are the unique id of an entry and the name to set it to
  • ChangeEmail($entryid, $old, $new) Changes an e-mail addres from $old to $new in entry with the unique id $entryid
  • DeleteEmail($entryid, $email) Deletes the $email address from the entry with the unique id of $entryid
  • SetDefaultEmail($entryid, $email) Sets $email to the default e-mail for the entry with the unique id of $entryid
  • SetEntryNickname($entryid, $nickname) Sets the nickname to $nickname for the entry with the unique id of $entryid
  • AddEmailAddress($entryid, $email) Adds the email address $email to the entry with the unique id of $entryid
  • AddEntry($addressinfo) This takes an e-mail address as the argument and adds a new entry for it.
  • DeleteEntry($entryid) Deletes the entry with the unique id of $entryid
• Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Identities
  • AddIdentity($name) Adds a new identity with the name as the argument
  • DeleteIdentity($identityid) Deletes the identity with the unique id of the argument
  • SetIdentityName($identityid, $name) Sets the name of the identity with the unique id of $identityid to $name
  • SetIdentityAttribute($identityid, $attribute, $value) Sets an $attribute equal to $value in the identity with the unique id of $identityid
  • GetIdentities This function has no arguments and returns an array of hashes. Each hash should have the keys "id", "name", "isdefault".
  • GetIdentityInfo($identityid) Returns a hash of all of the attributes that belong to the identity with the unique id of $identityid

6.2 - Settings

     The setting abstraction allows an easy way for a developer to add new and exciting options to Inside Systems Mail without too much difficulty. By adding a few lines into the include/globals.php file, your settings automatically get rendered into the generalsettings.php dialog, saved to the addressbook, and reloaded on login. The only part that is left is to make the setting actually do something. This may also become a seperate conf file in the future.

• Give it a name When adding a setting to the include/globals.php file, you simply set it's properties while referring to it by the name. For example, if you wanted to create a new setting called 'newsetting', you simply start describing it as follows. Note: if you are not careful when naming a new setting, it can clobber an extant variable. When in doubt, be descriptive.      $default["newsetting"]["type"] = "boolean";
• Give it a type Each new setting requires a type so it can be properly rendered in the settings dialog and type checked. The currently supported types are 'integer', 'boolean', 'select', or 'none'.
  • Integer An integer type renders as an 'input type=text' and is cast to an integer on submission. The default value can be anything, but gets cast to an integer.
  • Boolean A boolean type renders as an 'input type=checkbox' and uses 1 and 0 to determine true and false. The default value gets cast to an int and anything other than 1 gets cast to 0 or 'false'.
  • Select A select type renders out a 'select' element in HTML and takes some additional arguments in addition to 'default'. See further down for details.
  • None If you do not wish a value to be handled from the settings dialog (e.g. the sorting setting which has special behavior), you can specify a type of 'none' and it will not appear editable.
       $default["newsetting"]["type"] = "boolean";
• Give it a default A reasonable value should be chosen for a default to make the most users happy.      $default["newsetting"]["default"] = 0;
• Give it a description In order for users to know what it is they are changing, give your new setting a description with the 'desc' key. The description appears in the settings dialog.      $default["newsetting"]["desc"] = "This is a description for my boolean type. It is off by default if you glance above.";
• Give it some values In the case that you've chosen a 'select' type, you can fill it's options using a hash. Look below for the existing example that decides when to mark a message as read:      $defaultsettings["readdelay"]["values"] = array("0"=>"Mark Immediately",           "1"=>"1 second",           "2"=>"2 seconds",           "3"=>"3 seconds",           "4"=>"4 seconds",           "5"=>"5 seconds",           "10"=>"10 seconds"); As you can see, the key of the hash is what is saved in the addressbook and the value of the hash is what the user sees in the settings dialog.

7 - Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll some of the more frequently asked questions regarding Inside Systems Mail.

1. After logging in, the screen is blank. What's up with that?
2. I'm getting some function errors when using the addressbook class. Why?
3. Why are there slashes in front of all of my quotes?
4. I want to use this with a POP3 server. Can I?

1. After logging in, the screen is blank. What's up with that? This generally means that you don't have IMAP support compiled into your PHP. Now, don't be fooled by it being a configure arg, that won't do it on it's own. You also have to have the cclient libraries installed.
2. I'm getting some function errors when using the addressbook class. Why? There are a variety of reasons this could be the happening. We have been told that upgrading to the latest libxml2 package will solve this, that making sure "DOMXML" is compiled in and not just XML will solve it, and the upgrading to a later version of PHP will help. If all of those things are exhausted and it still doesn't work, time for a bug report.
3. Why are there slashes in front of all of my quotes? There is a security feature in php which will automatically add slashes to quotes when things are submitted to a page. This automation removes control from the programmer, however, so Inside Systems Mail was written with magic_quotes set to off in the php.ini file. If you are getting slashes everywhere, that's probably because it's set to on. In newer PHP versions, it is set to off by default.
4. I want to use this with a POP3 server. Can I? Of course you can, we won't stop you. There are a few things you should set in order for your POP3 experience to be as nice as possible, however. You'll need to set the port to 110 (or whatever port you wish to use) and the protocol to pop3 to disable IMAP-specific features which don't apply to POP3. Be aware, however, that the only thing you will see is an inbox, since there is no 'local folder' concept in Inside Systems Mail.
