Roundcube

I want to drop using Thunderbird so I look at Roundcube. I try installing it.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at…

Check the forums. It’s asked, no solutions. Check their wiki. Not found.
I google it and find installs just sitting there with errors exposed, passwords on show.
Google it some more, find no solutions.
What I find surprising is that this kills an install before it gets started, it kills my enthusiasm for a product I would like to try but have no investment in and if I cannot see a solution to a problem like this, what hope do I have for any other problems that might occur? Shouldn’t the install process but a priority? But what it actually means is I delete all the files and decide to look elsewhere. Been a while since I used Squirrelmail…

  1. Do you not like gmail? I recently decided to delete Thunderbird because I’ve been so pleased with gmail. Access from anywhere - especially my phone.

    I like GMail, but I don’t trust it with everything, and I can’t use different return addresses / from addressess as I would like. I don’t want a reply-to or sent from a personal adress when it’s more work related.
    Plus I like to play with new programs :)

    So I give it one more go - same error.

    The problem does NOT exist as anything significant at the Roundcube forums.
    The solutions there about cookies are WRONG.
    Checking hosting forums shows multiple problems.

    Seeing as this thing has so many install problems the devs decision to go PHP5 only to force hosts to upgrade means nothing at all.

    Roundcube - avoid.

    I have always enjoyed and recommended roundcube as a web-based replacemnet for any email client. After I chose to revisit this software after previous years of success, I am faced with the same error.

    I also get “Your browser does not accept cookies”, when I know it does and after trying multiple browsers. Solutions on the TRAC suggest that this is caused by magic_quotes or the cookie session. I get this with the SVN trunk, and the beta tarball.

    What happened? The bugs reports are closed with “it works for me” and such.
