Maintainer

John Bennett Services - JBS (software)

Description

  • Mimp is a part of Horde framework.
  • MIMP is a version of IMP (1) suitable for mobile devices such as WAP phones or PDAs.
  • Basic IMP functionality is implemented including mailbox viewing and paging, viewing messages, deleting, replying, forwarding, and composing new messages.

(1) Imp are the standard email interface (webmail) included in SME


Step-by-step silly HowTo for installation of Mimp on SMEserver 7.1.3.

It's intended for Linux-newbies.

This installs from smedev repository (the simple way), there could be later versions elsewhere.

Installation

1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.

2. Download and install mimp and smeserver-mimp 

yum --enablerepo=smedev install smeserver-mimp

3. Do following commands for the changes to take effect: 

signal-event post-upgrade

signal-event reboot

Your SME server reboots

4. (optional) If you try to connect to https://yourserver/horde/mimp/ at this stage, you will probably get this message:

mimp is not activated

5. Then we activate it: 

config set mimp service status enabled

5a. To deactivate it: 

config setprop mimp status disabled

6. To make these changes take effect: 

signal-event email-update

An alternative way is: Go to server-manager, email, email settings page and click "Save"-button.

7. Enable webmail access in server-manager (if not already done)

8. Open https://yourserver/webmail

9. Log in and check out Mobile email and related settings, by going to your.domain.com/horde/mimp. You will first login to horde, then login to mimp. Logout.

10. Connect your mobile device to "your.domain/horde/mimp" or "your.domain/webmail (horde is supposed to automatically detect whether you are connecting via a wireless device and present you with the mimp login. Need someone to confirm that this still works on 7.1.x, only got confirmation that it did work on 6.x.) and login.

Check installed version

yum info installed *mimp*

That will show both packages.

Uninstall

yum remove *mimp*

Check spec (when asked) that no unintended packages have been included.

Additional information

JBS release notes

More tips about email in this HowTo: Email

If you connect to the SMEserver console by Putty ssh-client (or similar) you can copy and paste the commands (very convenient).
