Requirements for the Browser

The new frontend demands for high capabilites of the browser used, since many things like sensible context menus and the calendar view are currently only possible via JavaScript and its DOM. That's why the browser must be capable of the following things:

• JavaScript 1.5, DOM 2.0
• iframes
• CSS 1, CSS 2
• XHTML
• UTF-8

Browsers, which have a good command of the DOM used are, for example, current Mozillas (Firefox 3.5+, SeaMonkey 2.0+), Opera 10+, Safari 4+, Chrome 4+ and Internet Explorer 8+.
We recommend using Firefox or Safari.

1) You can only run phlyMail successfully, when the PHP directive safe_mode is set to Off, further constraints affect the directives open_basedir and disable_functions, which can be set in the central php.ini or the httpd.conf respectively.

2) In case PHP runs as module of the Apache, you will have to be able to do a chwon on the files before installation. The files and directories must be owned by the Apache user.

3) dependent on the configuration of the particular destination server, stated are the standard ports

4) These are only necessary when using server based mail fetchers.
