Hi to all, I've been successfully using OTRS for about a month, and I recently installed the WebMail addon. All the available options are checked and properly configured (fingers crossed), but NO messages are displayed, although the total mail count is correct and I'm also able to send outgoing messages without problem (see also the attached screenshot). FYI, when searching emails, again the number returned is correct, but no mail is displayed. I'm using imaps and I've tried two different imap servers (one of them is imap.google.com) and I still encounter the same problem. Do you have any idea what may be wrong? Thanks in advance, Theodoros

Hi Theodorus,
I can reproduce the issue you are having.
If you would add
$IMAP->{go_slow} =1;
to line 96 of Kernel/Modules/AgentWebMail.pm the issue would go away,
but in turn this would make the webmail client a bit slower.
[Ref: http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Mail-IMAPTalk]
A more fundamental question is: why would you want you want to use the
OTRS webmail package? To be honest, the client is pretty spartan
(although 'basic' might be a nicer word) and it could not compete
against all the GUI goodness of Gmail. In your case, you want to use
it as client for Gmail; I really would not see the benefit of that.
In some cases, when you have a local IMAP server at your company, and
you don't have a webmail solution available, I can see the reason to
use OTRS's webmail of course.
((enjoy))

I saw the reply just now! :blush: Thank you Michiel, it takes a looooong time to load, but it seems to be working! We indeed have a local IMAP server and I thought it would be better to have everything in one place. I'm not sure that I'll use this module, I was just experimenting with it. Thanks again for your valuable input! Best regards, Theodoros On 12/1/2009 4:38 PM, Michiel Beijen wrote:
