  • horde / IMP / New Message / Save Draft – a shortcut in “dynamic mode”

    I know, there is a shortcut for “Save Draft” in “basic mode” (Accesskey D) – but my preferred mode is “dynamic mode” – and Accesskey D does something else in Chrome on the Mac – it deletes a character on the right side of the text cursor.

    In file editors I save the current state using a keyboard shortcut, in horde I can not do that, that’s a pity – it’s quite important for me – every now and then horde logs me out and I loose the e-mail I have been writing.

    At least there is an advanced feature to get drafts auto-saved every minute.

  • my browser (“Chrome”) and my webmail access (“Horde (software)”) had a “conflict”

    Since last night my ISP did not let me log in – that’s what it looked like. I called in, they did not notice any general problems, suggested I should try Chrome’s “icognito mode” in order to bypass Chrome’s cookies (wrt the website in question), and “bingo!”: succesful log-in. If “icognito mode” works, then removing the website respective cookies helps as well – and that assumption holds.

  • inadvertently made the wrong choice in “horde” (the groupware) – and corrupted my lengthy .procmailrc

    So what was my “wrong choice”? I whitelisted the sender of an e-mail.

    Instead I wanted to “Purge Deleted” – just one line lower than the whitelisting.

    Luckily enough I was able to recover my precious .procmailrc within just a couple of minutes – but what if a similar accident happens and I am not able to recover my .procmailrc for a couple of hours? I have to move “a couple” of messages from the Inbox to wherever myself.

    I would rather want to prevent horde from clobbering my .procmailrc at all. I don’t need and want its respective support.

    Don’t get me wrong: I really enjoy using horde for accessing my IMAP folders and their messages etc pp.

  • I like the “Horde” free web-based groupware

    My ISP uses Horde to provide me with webmail access.

    It supports drag-and-drop for moving e-mail messages from the current folder to another folder. Wow, impressive for a browser / web application!

    Open questions:

    • how do I get all header lines of an e-mail message displayed? I don’t mean “show me the source!” – the last version of Horde, that my ISP let me use, had a feature to choose amongst a few sets of header lines
    • below “New Message” they list a deliberate couple of IMAP folders, that they remove from the nested list below – I don’t like that
