NOTE The last stable version is 0.8.6. Now I try to moved code to Rails 3.2.3 and add Boostrap from Tweeter as default theme.

Introduction

MailR is a IMAP mail client based on Ruby on Rails platform.

NOTE All path and filenames are based on Rails.root directory.

Requirements

In Rails 3 all dependencies should be defined in file Gemfile. All needed gems can be installed using bundler.

Installation procedure

• Checkout the source code.
• Install all dependiences. Check if proper gems (sqlite3/mysql/postgresql) are defined in Gemfile and installed. Use bundler for that:

bundle install

• Check config/defaults.yml for proper values.
• Prepare config/database.yml file (see config/database.yml.example).
• Migrate database (rake db:migrate)
• Start rails server if applicable
• Point your browser to application URL: For local access: http://localhost:3000 For remote access: http://some_url/mailr
• Using browser do basic setup. If You make a mistake delete all data from DB using rake task:

rake db:clear_data

• Use it.

Specific configuration

For themes: if server sends files with no content in production mode comment out

config.action_dispatch.x_sendfile_header = "X-Sendfile"

in config/environments/production.rb file.
