WMail - a POP3/SMTP Webmailer for vBulletin [Archive]

Hellcat

05-14-2006, 10:00 PM

What is this?
---------------
WMail is a "webmail client" - a front end, like a mail tool installed locally on your PC, for using POP3/SMTP mailboxes.

In short:
WMail adds POP3/SMTP access to vBulletin.

A live demo can currentliy be found on my testing board here:
http://vbdev.area-42.net/wmail.php

Key features:

The obvious: Getting mailbox content, reading mails from every POP3 mailbox and sending mails through any SMTP server (configurable in the user options)
written from scratch, spezificially to be used with vBulletin 3.5.x - not a port of something
fully phrased and templated down to the last bit
Full multipart support for downloading (and sending) attachments
When reading mail the mail text is parsed for BB-Codes, so you get the graphical smillies from the forum, text formatting and URLs automatically become clickable links
When replying to, or forwarding, mail the text of the original mail is quoted, propper quotemarks are added and a quote-header is added (customizable via template)
various options for admin and users to customize the webmail client
Does NOT require any special modules to be compiled into your PHP installation (like the IMAP libraries)
(for techies: this uses basic socket connections instead of special PHP function calls)
Admin can override certain aspects of the user config (forcing to use a given mailserver, force using forum email address and such)
Write your mails using vB's WYSIWYG editor
buildin (yet simple) addressbook for your E-Mail contacts
Read/Unread markings - unread mails are highlighted, options for "mark selected read", "mark all read" and "mark selected unread"
custom hooks to make it easy to develop addons for it
automatically adds links to the webmailer in "Quick Links" menu, navbar and UserCP. Usualy no template edits needed when using default ones (can be disabled for each link in admin options)

Planned features:

Support for multiple config sets per user
(and so multiple mailbox accounts that can be querried)
Sort mails into folders
User configurable filters (for automatically sorting mails into folders)
Preview of mailtext in inbox view (bellow subject)
Forward mails as PM / Forward PMs as mail
Reply to threads and PMs by mail
Give/Provide your members an own eMail adress and inbox on your forums!
Members can recieve and send mails as "username@forumdomain.tld" without the need for an own POP3 account anywhere
Admin only needs ONE "real" POP3 box as "catch all".

Installation
--------------

Level : EASY
Duration : a minute or so
Files to upload : yes (11)
Products to import : yes (1)
Templates to edit : usually none

ChangeLog
===========
1.00 - first final release

Fixed some minor bugs
Login details are no longer stored as plain text in the database (*see note bellow!)
Added option to save login details in a cookie on the users local computer instead of storing them in the forum's database

* Note on storing the login details in the database:
The login details are only base64 encoded when stored in the database.
A more secure encryption would make no sense anyway, the login details must be decrypted to be passed to the POP3/SMTP server - one well placed line of additional code in the POP3 or SMTP class could save the decrypted info anywhere the admin likes.
This "encoding" is only meant to prevent login details to be read (in plaintext) when doing maintanance to the database and stepping over it.
For fully securing the login details the "Save in cookie" option has been added.

Known Issues:

On some installations mass deletion of mails (via "Delete Selected" from the inbox view) does not delete all mails
Sometimes you get "-4 mails in inbox" - reloading the page then shows the correct inbox again

Besides of those two issues, that do not really break the function of the webmailer, it seemed to run pretty stable so far - that's why I decided to release 1.00 without having them resolved.

Absolutely cool hack hellcat, thank you.
One question, the received messages will be stored encrypted in the database?
There are no messages at all stored in the DB - everything stays at the POP3 server and only the data/information required for the current action are retrieved, but not saved.

The only thing that gets stored to the local database is the message ID for all unread messages to be able to handle the read/unread markings.

05-15-2006, 12:59 AM

hey mate, I will be restricting access to the webmail client to paying club members, is there any way I can only show the webmail link in 'UserCP' / 'Quick Links' to a specific usergroup?

Hellcat

05-15-2006, 01:05 AM

Hmm.... the links are currently added for any user....

You CAN specify who may use it in the usergroupmanager, all others get the "no permission" message.
Could be used to inspire ppl to become paying members :D

I could add a check for the link insertion if the user may actually use it and not add the links when he has no permission.... yes that could be done :)

kurtbarker

05-15-2006, 01:08 AM

thanks mate. I feel that the standard 'no permission' message is messy, doesn't really give a reason, and could be seen as an 'error' as such...

if you could look into it, that'll be great, thanks

Hellcat

05-15-2006, 01:16 AM

@kurtbarker:

Here's a quick "hack" for you:

Go to the plugin manager and open this plugin to edit it:
"Template Manipulation (Add WMail Links)"

At the very top, before anything else, add this:
if ($permissions['wmailpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['wmailpermissions']['canusewebmail'])
{
// only add the links when the user actually use the webmailer

At the very bottom, as last line, add this:
}

Now, the links are only added for users who can use the webmailer.
I will include this in the next release and also make an admin option to choose between "Always add links" and "Only add links for users who have permission"

Ok thanks, the only thing I'm not so happy about is that the passwords are stored in the db without encryption.

Hellcat

Ok thanks, the only thing I'm not so happy about is that the passwords are stored in the db without encryption.
I'm not very happy with that as well....
But on the other hand, an untrustworthy admin who want's to see those can get at them even when they are encrypted since the decryption code has to be in the script as well - hashing only will not work because the PW has to be retrieved to be sent to the mailserver....

But I'm open for ANY suggestions here!

Don't have an idea for that my coding skills are 0 :(
But found a bug (?)
The first 98 mails are showing correctly, after sometimes there's only the date and size visible (screenshot).

Hellcat

05-15-2006, 01:50 AM

Hmm, weird thing.... that can happen when the connection to the POP3 server breaks up while getting the mail headers....

I should add some kind of handling of that.... at least some sort of notice that something went wrong there.

Did you change the server timeout? If so, try raising it again.

I'll definately add something for this situation! :)

First of all, great job on this. I like it so far. :)

I think I'm missing a Phrase in the global settings of the ACP. It also doesn't save my settings in the settings area of the wmail.php "sender Settings" area (ie: Use forum E-Mail address, Use forum username, Use forum signature)

Thanks,
Roms
Whooops.... That should be "Use forum signature"
* Hellcat scribbles on buglist

And as long as the overrides are enabled it doesn't save the user settings for those options, indeed.

Try disabling the global overrides seen in the screenshot and try saving your user settings again.

Can you uninstall the current one (if not already done) and try a reinstall with the attached product .XML?
Check if it's working then....

Well, as charming as that sounds :) I doubt that.
I just did some research on "vBMail" (can you believe I didn't hear of it till now :knockedout: ) and it has something about 16.000 lines of code.

My one only comes up to ~1.000 lines - there HAS to be a big difference ;)

But, who knows, if I got the time and peoples interest stays constant, this definately will evolve.... I'd like that :)

Hellcat:

Great mod. A couple of things I noticed is that when you get a listing of the emails that you have from the wmail.php?do=getmail page and you check the emails you want to delete and then click on the Delete Selected button the thread is not deleted. You can delete it from the page when you read the email.

When there are no emails on your server you get a "An error accoured while connecting to your POP3 server!" error message.

Then when you send an email it doesn't redirect you back to the page to allow you to send another email, etc. It stops on the sent email notification.

Again, this is a great hack and I look forward to its final release.

My STMP server requires authentication and there is no way to do it with this hack:( Do you have a solution? I keep getting "There has been an error while talking to your SMTP server!"

Tralala

05-15-2006, 02:09 PM

My SMTP server requires authentication too. I thought most did these days, to cut down on the sending of spam?

Anyway, this hack is off to a phenomenal start. I'd like to see even more interaction with vBulletin, since some will ask, "why use this when I could just open another browser window and use someone else's webmail?"

Tying it closely with vBulletin to extend it's features, essentially using this as an email "bridge" makes a lot of sense.

Since the infrastructure is there, I imagine this could be engineered to make threads out of emails received in an pre-specified mailbox. Or PM's could be sent (or replied to!) via email. Many more ideas and examples, but those are the first that come to mind.

Hmm, did you set a propper address in the settings, no typos or such?

The error on an empty mailbox makes sense - at least from the view of the script *lol* I'll see to catch that.

When going to Get Mails
Recieving
Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: Called with an empty time parameter. in /wmail/inc_misc.php on line 90
Hmm, that might happen when there's no date given in the mail, that should be easy to catch....

Great mod. A couple of things I noticed is that when you get a listing of the emails that you have from the wmail.php?do=getmail page and you check the emails you want to delete and then click on the Delete Selected button the thread is not deleted. You can delete it from the page when you read the email.

Then when you send an email it doesn't redirect you back to the page to allow you to send another email, etc. It stops on the sent email notification.
OK, there seems to be another flaw when fetching the array of mails to delete....
When you sent a mail, at the final message you could just hit "New Mail" again on the left navigation - what other suggestion do you have, I'm open for anything :)

Does it make sense to use the WYSIWYG with the Smiley Box, because bbcode will not work on Emails, does it ?
Makes sense if the recipient uses this as well *lol*
Going for total world dommination :D
Nah, seriously, the smilies are used anyway in mails (typed by hand) and using the BBCodes is just an option.... But I could make on option "Use WYSIWYG yes/no" :)

My STMP server requires authentication and there is no way to do it with this hack:( Do you have a solution? I keep getting "There has been an error while talking to your SMTP server!"
What kind of authentication?
I can implement that :)
Did you try the two auth types already alvailable?

My SMTP server requires authentication too. I thought most did these days, to cut down on the sending of spam?

Tying it closely with vBulletin to extend it's features, essentially using this as an email "bridge" makes a lot of sense.
I just need info on the uath your SMTP requires :)
Any further feature suggestions are highly welcome! :)
What you wrote so far sounds cool, "bridging" eMails with PM is on my ToDo anyway and making a feature of posting threads/posts by eMail sounds nice as well....

Bug fixed

Regenerate the binary fields
So, adding those BuildBitfield to the install code solved it?
Cool :)

I have tried your demo but it does not matter which mail account I setup, I always get an error :

Rcvd: 550 relay not permitted

Even though logins to the accounts are correct
Seems like there are some more auth types I need to implement.
It's only a matter of time till I get them working! :)

That's a problem on the side of your SMTP server, nothing I could do against....

Check if the hostname is correct and the SMTP server is indeed listening on port 25.

Like the "Connection refused" tells, the contacted server didn't want to talk with the script. The cause for that has to be found on the SMTP server, I'm sorry....

Yep I have exactly the same problem. My cpanel says the exact same thing. I need to enable STMP Authentication, but that feature is not available in the vwmail so it doesn't work.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this mod will not give an automatic email account to the board's users, right? If not there is a feature that vbms does have and keep me from using this one, I'm really tired of waiting for the release of vbms but I'm looking for an email system that will kive my users an account on the board.

About the authentication issues:
I'd need to to know how the SMTP expects the authentication to be done.
I am researching additional auth methods for SMTP now, any input would be helpfull here....

However, the last posted SMTP log shows that there's a "collision" when a multiline welcome message is sent from the server - I try to handle that, maybe the already existing AUTH types start working for some more ppl then!

For the moment it seems those AUTH trouble is the main showstopper....
But I'm on it!
We WILL get those resolved ;) It's just a matter of time, but I try to make it not taking too long :)

For the remaining errors posted so far (PHP warnings and false error on empty mailbox) I seem to have those almost fixed.
An update will come later tonight, still gotta fix the one or the other small thing....

i mean i can, but if i click settings nothing happens same with all the links
Getting a blank/empty page, or everytime the Welcome-Panel again?

If you could put in a redirect after the template that tells you that your email has been sent that would be great.

Any ideas on the deleting of messages problem?
OK, I see what I can come up with for the redirect :)

The deletion of mail, however, is working fine here.... weird....
They do not get deleted when using "Delete selected" but DO get deleted when using "Delete" from the mailview, when reading the mail?

No, this will not automatically install an email account on your server.
But I could check out what could be done to add that feature.

Do you have some more details on this for me?
Like how the accounts should be created?

Is there a way to give accounts to users of vbulletin without having to make a pop account for everyone?
I have a rough idea on how to do that with only using ONE POP box.... hmm.... must see if my idea might work, there's only one way to find out :)

Well I'm not sure about the method but vbms use one pop account, like a catch all account and some how it gets the mail deliver to each user.

Update time :)
I'd like esp. all the ones having AUTH issues to test again the two AUTH types available and report any changes.

Fixed a phrase that didn't show in Admin's global settings
Added admin option for the automatic addition of the "Webmail" links: "Never add any link", "Only add for users having propper permission" and "Always add selected links"
When the mailbox is empty it no longer shows "An error accoured...", it now correctly displays a notice "Your inbox is empty" instead (this notice can be hidden completely by deleting the used phrase)
"Empty strtotime() call" should be fixed, no longer causing that PHP warning and showing "N/A" when no or invalid date in mail specified
Added option in user settings to choose between WYSIWYG editor and simple textbox (default is still WYSIWYG)
Fixed a few things in inc_accessconfig.php - hopefully the warnings and SQL errors regarding the config are now gone....
Added an experimental fix in the SMTP protocol that MIGHT raise compatibility with more SMTP server's requiring authentication
Added option (in user settings) to be automatically redirected back to the "Write A New Mail" page after successfull sending

weird, why did not add the tables and the column at install time....
This vB install code thing gives me a headache....

But that it's working besides that, I'll tweak the installer some more.

Now I need to know if the SMTP error(s) are still present.
Seems (besides the install issue) the last remaining showstopper.

Once that's resolved we should have a 1.00 final and can head over to the new features :)

Alright, about the STMP Authentication. I installed the updated version, right now i CAN receive e-mails, but I can't send them. When I try to send them, this is what I get:

There has been an error while talking to your SMTP server!
Sessionlog follows:

Connection to xxxxxxxxxx:25....
Sent: helo localhost
Rcvd: 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, 220 and/or bulk e-mail.

Sent: RCPT TO:yyy@xxxxxxxxxx.com
Rcvd: 250 OK
Sent: DATA
Rcvd: 250 Accepted
Sent: QUIT
Rcvd: 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself

You have the following options in your mail client:

1. Regular Account Login
2. Plain Text Login
3. No login

However you need:

4. STMP Authentication Login as well. If you have outlook or outlook express, when you set up an account, you ll first enter your user and pass. Until that part your client works exactly the same, however, in outlook, if you go to advanced->outbound-sendmail there you ll see "My Mail Server Requires STMP Authentication", and below it, you ll see "use the same login information I entered". That's what's missing. When sending e-mail, in order to prevent bulk-spam, STMP servers use this authentication. Almost all privately owned STMP servers have this. Unless you are trying to use this feature with sbcglobal.net, verizon.com, earthlink.com, etc, there is no way to send e-mail via other STMP servers. I think this should be the MOST important feature you need to add as soon as possible.

I did some research, and this is why Auth doesnt work:

The program is not compatible with the authentication method the remote server is using.

The remote server expects a specific sequence of commands from VWMAIL Server. VWMAIL Server is sending HELO command, then trying to use AUTH command. In some cases, AUTH command can be used only after sending the HELO command from VWMAIL Server. But your client doesn't know how to use AUTH command, so it can't authenticate.

2)

I totally agree that THIS has to get working before anything else makes sense.
So, this isn't only top priority, it's also the only thing I'm trying to fix ATM.

Your input (and the posting of the sessionlogs) has indeed been very helpfull so far.
I'm also talking to "my friend google" about SMTP auth's, esp. the error message that appears in the log seem to push me into the right direction :)

A simple "Import Product" with "Allow Overwrite" should do it.

One request:
Could someone with a SMTP server that WMail is not (yet) compatible with supply me with a (temporary) account on that SMTP server, so I can try things "on the fly" myself?

The only stupid question is the one not asked ;)

Usually the members need to enter the SMTP server address of "THEIR" SMTP server, the server of the ISP or host who is serving/hostin the e-Mail address of them.

You can set up your own SMTP to allow relay for your members as a service.
This option would come into play when the "An E-Mail Account for every board member" feature is finished.

Cool......just awaiting a fix for the SMTp problem...I also tried all options to no avail.

Is it not possible to use PHP to send the email rather than SMTP? Just wondering.

Cheers.

Hellcat

05-16-2006, 10:39 AM

Using PHP's mail() function has a downside for this:
It sends the mail over YOUR server. Depending on your config your server won't allow that and some more problems that might arise.

Using the IMAP function has the (IMO mayor) downside of needing the IMAP libraries compiled into PHP (not everyone has those, incl. me ;))

[EDIT]
I just found a detailed example "dialog" Mail-Client <-> SMTP-Server on Wikipedia.
Perfect, now I can modify my "LOGIN" auth method based on this.

The "LOGIN" auth method is the one we need!
And it's almost correctely implemented, I just need to send a "EHLO" instead of a "HELO" at the beginning.
Yay,

- Go to the product manager and choose "edit" for WMail.
- Delete out everything in the "Uninstall code".
- Uninstall the product (should go without errors after the delete)
- Re-Import the product .XML - now all tables should be created as required.

I am about to upload another update, where the install/uninstall code is patched again, so the uninstall doesn't give any errors anymore.
So a simple uninstall/reinstall now does the trick with rc2pl2.... hopefully....

im having the same errors as you can you tell me what you did to fix this?

Go into the product (if hellcat's fix isn't working for you) and take the CREATE TABLE SQL queries at the beginning and take out the VB code that surrounds it and run it in your phpmyadmin, 3 tables didn't load when I installed, so I did them manually....if you need help cleaning out the queries PM me and i'll be happy to help. I don't want to monopolize the thread :)

With the VERY helpfull support of dreck I seem to have managed to get it going :)

I tried the current update (0.93) on the SMTP account dreck supplied me with and I finally could send mail without getting errors :)

Everyone who has the SMTP issue, upload the new files (if you already running 0.92 (RC2) there is no need to re-import the product .XML!) and try again using "LOGIN" authentication type.

Waiting for feedback now :)

Hellcat, is there a reason you can think of that the links you have setup wouldn't work? I checked the str replace...and they don't look like they interfere with any of the other hacks I have installed....except the FAQ one....but I turned that off....
Is none of them showing up?
Try going to the admin options where you can set what link should be added and re-save the options - even when using the defaults, hit SAVE....

Its a longshot...and i'm not pointing fingers....just trying to trobleshoot
Hmm, it "talks" to the POP3 and SMTP server just like Outlook would, for example.
So I'd have no idea what could be caused by this....

What kind of problems?

Like mentioned a few posts before, a plan to support multiple config sets per user (and so multiple eMail setups/accounts) is already on my ToDo :)

Is it a public/free style?
So I could get my hands on it to install it on my dev board for testing and fixing (of my templates)?

The ":25" is the TCP port number. It's not inlucded in the actuall address connected to, ip:port is just a common way to display it.

You can't "ping" a special port, only an IP address (don't want to get to technical here.... unless you ask for ;))

In the next update you'll have the option to set the port for POP3 and SMTP to whatever you like (it's already finished)

You may ask your host if they are blocking socket connections from PHP scripts....
(I tried connecting to the SMTP sever you posted above on port 25 -> worked)

It will support such a feature in a future version!

Like the above, this a definately planned feature for an upcomming release (first let's get the remaining bugs fixed ;))

I updated the list of planned features:

Support for multiple config sets per user
(and so multiple mailbox accounts that can be querried)
Sort mails into folders
User configurable filters (for automatically sorting mails into folders)
Preview of mailtext in inbox view (bellow subject)
Forward mails as PM / Forward PMs as mail
Reply to threads and PMs by mail
Give/Provide your members an own eMail adress and inbox on your forums!
Members can recieve and send mails as "username@forumdomain.tld" without the need for an own POP3 account anywhere
Admin only needs ONE "real" POP3 box as "catch all".

Again. Great script. I am still having an issue with deleting all the posts an once. Let's say I have 25 unread messages. I click on the (de)select all and it checks them all off. I click on the delete button and only about 15 of the 25 get deleted. If I select the remainder and click on delete it will not remove them. I have to go in and up each email and then click on the delete link for that email.

Thanks for all the improvements.

The webmail_homepage template may or may not look funny...I was starting to toy with changing the layout a bit for it...and the changes I made are quick and dirty....the img url is right in the template rather than making a variable for it or anything like that...I widened the error that appears when there are no messages to view to make it equal with the controls at the bottom and centered the title and the error message itself

Another couple of suggestions I came across for you...for the address book:

making it possible to group contacts into a mailing list....

Administrators being able to have a list of contacts AND a list of user account addresses to save a trip to the ACP

Other suggestion:

Ability to save a draft....something reasonable like 5 per user? or customizable per group?

Hellcat

05-22-2006, 08:51 PM

@MThornback:
Cool, will look at the template changes :)

For the other things:
Mailinglist: yep, had thought of that as well - must see how to implement that best
Admin: You're talking about the eMails of all register users?
Save as draft: I want to implement support for folders - saving as a draft could be easily put in there then....

MThornback

05-22-2006, 09:27 PM

Mailing List....what I was thinking was being able to create a group...and have arrow buttons to move contacts into them and a copy contact button so it would like this in the contact list:

--Group Name
----Group Member
Contact

--Forum Staff
----Admin1
----SuperMod1
Jow Blow

Admin:
Yea, calling the username, real name & e-mail column from the user table

Save as draft: Cool :)

Another idea for you....

A Forum Junk mail list....let Admin's configure a list of junk accounts and domains...and maybe even have a "report" link that will give the link to Admin's to add to the list :)

I wish there was a user title for idea guy :p

When you update the software, please consider to encrypt the email passwords that are stored in the database

This is a serious security concern.

Yes, that's something I want to implement ASAP.
However, since the passwords have to be accessible, there must be a decrypt function in the script - a hash would not work.
An admin who intentionally wants to get hold of the passwords could simply use the decrypt funtion to get them.

But during some chats on IM about this issue I got the following, I will definately build into one of the next updates (hopefully 1.0final):
Besides crypting login details in the database a user option to save the login details in a cookie on the local machine instead of saving them in the forum's database.

This (almost) eliminates the need to re-enter the login details everytime a user wants to use this, but also doesn't send it to anywhere else.
Only when the user uses another computer or the cookie gets deleted (on logout for instance) he has to re-enter the login details.

If the user trusts his admin(s) he can still let the login details be saved (in some way crypted to avoid "fly by" catching) in the forum's database to never have to enter them again.

I think just having the email address & server info in the settings is just fine. Having to type in your password everytime is not that big of a deal. And users can always store their password in the local pc cookies.

Just my 2 cent

I hope to find the cause for one or two remaining bugs, and like to implement the above mentioned option to store login details in a local cookie instead of the server and baybe some sort of (simple) encrytion of it.

Once that's done, I'll head straight to the new featues - already got some plans made up :)

1.00 will hopefully be pretty "clean" of bugs.

But like said a few posts above, I already got plans laid out for some of the bigger new features (mainly the "provide eMail address to forum users" thing) and I got quite some time to do the coding the next two weeks.
So, an update with new features will not take too long as well :)

that's 0 new mails since your last check.

I'm aware of that "-4" error - it's some kind of error/interuption during communication with the POP3 server.
I didn't find the exact cause for so far since - like you just saw - it comes and goes randomly....

could it have anything to do with the timeout setting in wMail? with how busy the actual server is?

I'd really liked to have resolved the remaining two bugs.... But so far I have no clue of a possible cause :(
(The "-4" error and the failed attempt to mass-delete mails)

So I think I will put them on a "known issues" list.
Besides those two, that are not really "showstoppers" in sense of totally breaking ti app, it seems pretty stable now.

So, I will pack up a clean new export and post it as 1.00 final within the next days (maybe I get to it even tonight already).

I will continue hunting for the causes of those buggers while working on the new features.
This way it will advance at least :)

A big thanks to everyone for your support and patience :)

Now a question, does this hack support SSL connections over port 995?

Thanks,

Hellcat

06-06-2006, 12:39 AM

Here comes the final :)
(I did not yet include the VBA module or the edited templaes posted in this thread - but I will definately put them into one of the next updates :))

Fixed some minor bugs
Login details are no longer stored as plain text in the database (*see note bellow!)
Added option to save login details in a cookie on the users local computer instead of storing them in the forum's database

* Note on storing the login details in the database:
The login details are only base64 encoded when stored in the database.
A more secure encryption would make no sense anyway, the login details must be decrypted to be passed to the POP3/SMTP server - one well placed line of additional code in the POP3 or SMTP class could save the decrypted info anywhere the admin likes.
This "encoding" is only meant to prevent login details to be read (in plaintext) when doing maintanance to the database and stepping over it.
For fully securing the login details the "Save in cookie" option has been added.

Known Issues:

On some installations mass deletion of mails (via "Delete Selected" from the inbox view) does not delete all mails
Sometimes you get "-4 mails in inbox" - reloading the page then shows the correct inbox again

Besides of those two issues, that do not really break the function of the webmailer, it seemed to run pretty stable so far - that's why I decided to release 1.00 without having them resolved.
