phlyMail Support Board

[mso]

We have just released phlyMail 3.7 Release Candidate 1 (Build 3.6.53).
This build is available on the download page for phlyMail Lite and in the customer service area for the MessageCenter.

Some of the changes since version 3.6:

Interface generally:
- The folder list groups folders by their respective module, these groups can be opened and closed individually
- The folder lists of the respective modules can be refreshed individually
- Folders can be made into "Favourites", which have their own bar above the folder list
- Favourites bar, name bar and folder list can be hidden and shown individually
- One can define the folder to show directly after login (instead of the welcome page)
- Visits can be secured by a session cookie (option on user level and globally via Config)

Emails:
- IMAP does no longer depend on the PHP extension, but is replaced by a native PHP solution
- Individual folders can be hidden
- improved parsing of complex mails
- signatures can be HTML, too, which means when sending an HTML mail, the HTML version of the signature will be used
- keyboard short cut Ctrl+Enter for sending a mail

SMS:
- keyboard short cut Ctrl+Enter for sending a SMS
- SMS can be up to 1530 characters long (depends on SMS driver)
- Option for default "Sent SMS" folder
- Excerpt of the SMS text instead of the recipient number in the subject of the mail copy

Calendar:
- modernized calendar views
- events in the past are rendered semi transparent
- option for default reminder for new events in the calendar setup
- multiple reminders / repetitions for events
- import/export of events as iCalendar/vCalendar files
- import/export of Outlook Holiday files (extension .hol)
- holidays get marked accordingly in the week view, month view and the calendar overview

Files:
- one can download a file from a URL
- double click on an image (JPEG, PNG, GIF) opens it in a viewer
- double click on an MP3 opens it in a Flash MP3 player

Config interface:
- in preparation of phlyMail 4 there's already screens for managing groups and permissions. These do not have any effect on the frontend right now!
- some of the global settings can be set differently for individual users

phlyMail generally:
Under the hood the source code and application structure of phlyMail is already close to that of phlyMail 4. Some of the files and sections where newly structured, to cope better with future demands.
E.g. the language files have been moved from frontend/ to shared/. The ExtAuth modules now have their own folder shared/extauth/.
Internally many places are already prepared for the groupware functionality phlyMail 4 will bring. But since it is not done consistently in all necessary places, this part of the application has been disabled.

The theme concept got a large overhaul:

In a sense of a better logical isolation of themes and application, the templates/ folder of the themes is obsolete. Instead there's now a central folder templates/, which is kept up to date by the phlyMail team. The file type icons are also held centrally and got replaced by higher quality ones in the sizes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 pixels. Additionally there's now central JS files and a basic CSS, which always gets loaded before any CSS of the themes. Thus the theme CSS needs only those definitions, which phlyMail does not have.
The described changes should enable theme authors, to much faster build a new theme and to keep it up to date in a more comfortable way.

Besides all the things mentioned above, there have been many, many minor changes and additions.
