Rainloop webmail
Rainloop webmail (https://www.rainloop.net/) was a buzz here for awhile. Haven't seen it mentioned in the mail setup discussions lately, yet it seems to be still active & maintained.
Any issues with it?
Comments
Nothing in particular. I mean, it's simply an email client, among a number of other email clients.
I'm pretty sure gandi and migadu both use it.
Are you sure about that? I think that Rainloop (since it's an email client) is run locally.
I use rainloop for my email and it's web based written in php. Not saying you can't run a local webserver for it.
So what are you saying?
Are you running Rainloop locally?
No I'm not running it locally. You said since it's an email client it runs locally. I'm just saying it's a web based application. So most people would throw it on a vps or shared hosting of some sort... though technically speaking you could run a web server locally if you wanted to.
An email client can be written in PHP and run in a browser. When I say "run locally", I mean that Rainloop is installed on the machine that you use it on (which could be a VPS), just like an email client such as Thunderbird. Do you agree?
Think it's built into Softaculous, so if you have some cheap cPanel hosting you can easily put up a test install and play with it. I generally just use whatever I'm provided by email hosts, usually end up going with Horde.
It's possible I'm confused, but I thought the webmail client that they use was rainloop. Migadu has free accounts if you want to try it.
Oh, I don't need to know that badly. :-)
However, if it were Rainloop, you'd think that they would say it somewhere openly, but they don't seem to (unless I've missed it).
Have been using Roundcube for years without any issue. Will try this if I want something new
Roundcube and Rainloop (despite their both beginning with the letter "R") aren't really in the same comparison class. Rainloop distinguishes between a community and a standard edition -- only the community edition is free software. In contrast, Roundcube is free software, widely deployed, and much more robust in the case of multiple users.
How so?
works good, i have 15 email address added to my installation and you can switch very fast between them
Maybe you're mixing Rainloop and Mailpile (https://www.mailpile.is/).
Rainloop is a web based mail client. Mailpile is a "browser" based mail client that runs locally.
used rainloop before. works great. mobile friendly by default. have optional plugin. and light (no database required if you don't need 'contact' book).
+1 It's my webmail solution of choice.
I wont use them for now, their project look died, no one answering on github nor update on the code not to mention mailspoit
