SquirrelMail Documentation
Sorry for the lack of cohesion in the SquirrelMail documentation, but here is a conglomeration
of all the docs that we have accumulated so far. Maybe some time in the future we will put
together a good documentation system. This is just meant to get you up and running.
- Translating
-
If you would like to make a translation of SquirrelMail, here are some guidelines to help
you along the way. These were compiled, thanks to Gustav Foseid.
- Translating the Help System
-
We have a rather extensive help system in SquirrelMail. This document contains
information about translating those help documents.
- The Mailbox Tree
-
This explains the algorithms and arrays behind the mailbox tree used in deleting folders.
This was compiled thanks to Nathan Ehresman.
- The Addressbook
-
This explains how the addressbook works internally.
- MIME
-
Ever wonder how SquirrelMail handles MIME support? You need not search
any longer. This document gives an overview of how it works and how
we decode MIME encoded messages.
- Plugins
-
If you would like to create plugins for SquirrelMail, this is the place
to start. It gives an overview and tells what needs to be in place for
all plugins.
- Themes
-
You can create your own color themes and add them in the themes/ directory
if you wish. This describes the format of the theme files.
- Russian Apache
-
There are special instructions if you are running Russian Apache. This
document, thanks to Konstantin Riabitsev, will help you out.
- Authentication
-
SquirrelMail allows you to log in to your IMAP and SMTP servers using
plaintext, CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5, as well as use SSL for extra security.
This document describes how to use this new code, and the requirements.
