Camping At The Mailbox

Camping at the Mailbox is a lightweight mail system, intended to be quick, usable, and work even on limited devices like a Kindle, Nook, mobile browser or ancient PC.

Features

  • Manipulating messages:

    • Read (including attachments)
    • Move to folders
    • Delete
    • Send, including handling large attachments

  • Address book

    • AJAX autocompleted text entry for To: &c. fields.
    • LDAP directory read support

Setup

mailbox.conf contains values to configure Camping at the Mailbox.

Required settings

imaphost and smtphost, both of which can use the token %{domain}, which will be replaced by the domain in the supplied username, or a guess from the HTTP host.

Optional settings

imapport and smtpport can be used to change which ports are connected to. Ruby's Net::IMAP module will use SSL on port 993 for IMAP.

imapssl, if present, will force the use of SSL for IMAP connections.

smtpauth, if present, will authenticate submissions to the SMTP server with the same credentials used for IMAP

smtptls, if present, will force all SMTP connections to begin with STARTLS (unconditionally at the moment)

ldaphost will activate LDAP directory lookups, and takes a %{domain} token as well.

ldapport selects the port to connect to.

ldapbase will choose the base DN to search in an LDAP directory, and will expand %{domain} into LDAP DN form (dc=example,dc=org).

ldapmailattr specifies the attribute to use as the email address.

ldapnameattr specifies the attribute to use as the user's name.

ldaprdnattr specifies the attribute to use to look up a user by RDN

Make sure that both the name and mail attributes are mandatory in your LDAP schema.

Other files

You can make a file banner, which will be displayed on the login screen.
