[Vtigercrm-developers] Webmail in 5.0.4

[clement chazarra]

Thanks for your concern.. I was expecting a little help on the ajax matter
but I finally figured it out.....

I have finish my patch and now need people to test it (especially on large
mailbox) and see if we find bugs:
Have a look here http://creadev.net/Webmails-vTiger504, At the bottom of the
page there is a compressed file to download, you just need to replace
existing files from webmails module with those ones.
You can also find on the web page install instructions and detailed step by
step changes.

I published a forum post on vTiger
http://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?p=66012#66012 and here
http://creadev.net/forum/5.

Feedbacks appreciated ;)

Bye
