      That’s great, I am sure it will be very very useful, I’ll give it a try as soon as I can.

                Hi,

                I have copied the GIT code to:
                /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail

                then copied the config.php to /etc/kopano/webapp/config-fetchmail.php

                restarted apache2 but the new plugin does not come up.

                I am doing something wrong?

                  @Marty @Wiz @teka74 Thanks ;-)

                  @mcostan

                  Did you create a symlink from /etc/kopano/webapp/config-fetchmail.php to /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php ?

                  Otherwise could you please post the apache2 error log?

                    Here it is:

                    root@mrc-ubz64:/etc/kopano/webapp# ls -rtl config-fetchmail.php
                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Mar 16 16:32 config-fetchmail.php -> /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php
                    root@mrc-ubz64:/etc/kopano/webapp# ls -lrt /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php
                    -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1065 Mar 16 16:32 /usr/share/kopano-webapp/plugins/fetchmail/config.php

                    The error log doesn’t mention fetchmail at all…

                    I am sure this is something I am doing wrong though.

                        Apologies I think this is me being stupid.

                        Obviously by not reading the documentation correctly (and your documentation is very good) I failed to notice that the build was in the builds directory not in the source code.

                        Will try again, but it is me being stupid.

                              Question @Kopano

                              Do you think it would be worth having a common area, sourcecode, packages or whatever where plugins like this are available for all users?

                              I.e. a central repository where people can go in and search which plugins are available in addition to the official Kopano ones?

                                @mcostan yes, we have that already on our agenda. As a matter of fact I just added some more links and made it public. You can find it at https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/COM/repos/projects-and-resources/browse

                                @olia would you be so kind to run through the explained workflow in https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/COM/repos/projects-and-resources/browse/CONTRIBUTING.md and add your project? I am interested if the instructions are clear enough or need to be clarified/simplified. Thanks!

                                  I’ve read the document, and followed it (waiting to hear back for write access to the repo).
                                  Also the instructions are clear enough.

                                      Hi,
                                      I am not a very skilled Linux user, but i come as far as getting the Fetchmail plugin show up as a plugin. But as soon as i go to the Options in Kopano, i get a Http 500 internal server error as long as the plugin is enabled. So i must be doing something wrong. I’ll try to describe what i have done:

                                      I use a Univention debian distro in a virtual machine. I installed Kopano-core & Kopano-webapp & got that working, including sending mail via a smart relay host.

                                      Installed Requierements ( i think)

                                      • fetchmail: dpkg -l | grep fetchmail shows it as installed
                                      • libproc-daemon-perl: installed via apt-get
                                      • MTA on the host machine (postfix): is working, i can send mail
                                      • Database to store account informations (At the moment only ‘mysql’ is supported): i did not take specific action on this, i presume Kopano-core install took care of this?

                                      I was able to download, install & activate the plugin; it shows up in the options in kopano-webapp.

                                      I copied the example.config.php in the <kopano-webapp>/plugins/fetchmail folder to config.php ** in the same folder ** and customized the ‘changethis!’ part in define(‘PLUGIN_FETCHMAIL_PASSWORDS_AES_KEY’, “changethis!”)

                                      i did not create a user to run the fetchmail daemon (i found the (default: fetchmail/nogroup) )
                                      i did not Manual: Set the rights for the home directory to 600.
                                      i did not Edit the <kopano-webapp>/plugins/fetchmail/php/daemon/kopano_fetchmail.pl if you used non-standard options.

                                      i Started the daemon with perl kopano_fetchmail.pl --start and no errors where shown.

                                      I still have to create a startup script. (see kopano_fetchmail.service.example for a systemd config).

                                      I did not make any symlinks as previously posted?

                                      Thanks in advance

                                          Update: i reinstalled phpmyadmin, and now the error states: Cannot connect to database. So, progress :-)

                                          But if i look in phpmyadmin no fetchmail user or table(s) for the plugin are present. Do i have to set up the mysql for the plugin myself (user, tables, etc) , or is that something the daemon should take care of?

                                            1. Fetchmail was not installed yet :-|
                                            2. set mysql root users password
                                            3. changed mysql user & password to root in config.php
