[Ilohamail-testers] IlohaMail: no outboxes, folders/trash, etc

[B. K. L. <bk...@az...>]

I saw your FAQ about Outboxes, folders/trash, etc and understand your 
thinking <http://ilohamail.org/docs/view.php?id=52>. But, for me and 
from a user's perspective, the ability to check messages that were sent 
is a real plus, particularly in a enterprise environment where people 
are used to those same features in Outlook (yech!).

I like that Ilohamail will work directly with the existing mail 
accounts already setup on my server through the cpanel. I'm testing 
another app called Poppawid < http://poppawid.sourceforge.net/ > that 
has Outboxes/trash features, but accounts must be entered into the 
Poppawid database to be available -- a duplication of work. Of course, 
if my client doesn't mind paying me for the time to re-enter accounts, 
well...
I also looked at NeoMail, but cannot install it on this particular 
server.

For what it's worth, being able to check what messages were sent does 
provide verification that the message was indeed sent -- which can be 
considered comforting to users -- as well as a way to remember and 
review what was sent. I suppose one could cc everything to oneself, but 
that's not really a viable solution and would probably create more 
confusion. Can a plug-in or module of some sort be created to enable 
these kinds of features?

A substantial percentage of this particular client's employees do not 
have a dedicated workstation assigned to them so the webmail system is 
the only place for them to manage their emails. Are you thinking, "they 
need IMAP"? Perhaps, but that is not an option on their server. Well, 
enough on this topic. It's still a great app.

Best regards,
