RE: [Omail-webmail-news] Installation Problem.

[Carter S. <der...@de...>]

Ed,

webmail2 currently won't have any "new" features.. the webmail1 code has
been completely gutted..

Some of the changes that have been made:
1) broke the two perl scripts into 16 modules.
2) broke the authentication code into auth modules.. to allow for future
authentication mechanisms and to establish a good auth interface..
3) moved all configuration settings into configuration file.
4) added authtest.pl to test authentication
5) added lang/test.pl to test language modules
6) better HTML message renderer -- submitted by user.
7) added .htaccess for better apache security.

I have one bug to work out before I'm comfortable in releasing
webmail2... It's that a user that hasn't logged in before jumps past the
new user configuration screens without setting anything. I just need to
allocate some time to fixing this.

Other than that, I'd like to implement multiple user defined folders --
more than just inbox, sent, trash.
