Comment on Three ways the Microsoft Outlook Web App interface sucks by Keman

I have more reasons why it sucks.
You can’t attach files if you’re using Chrome. That’s absolutely ridiculous.
Threading is terrible. That’s also ridiculous.
There is apparently no spam filter at all.
The way it scrolls through the list of e-mails is terrible – jumping down each message instead of smoothly moving down the list.
Some options are only possible through right clicking, and ever worse, sometimes you have to double click – Ha, it’s like 1990 all over again.
It ignores my request for plain text messages.

Hi Matthew, thanks for commenting – your original blog post was invaluable, being the only document out there I could find on the topic of a Mac OS GlassFish service :)

[...] they’re not kidding. If you don’t want to have a conversation-based interface like Gmail’s rammed down your throat, then you can use the stock standard interface. But if you want a conversation view par excellence, [...]

Hm, that’s weird – but good to hear you got it working with MySQL.

It seems to work when using mysql backend. It has something to do with the sqlite backend. My setup managed to create a db file but for some reason that’s where the server dies. It appears that mysql has solved my issue.

Still can’t seem to get it to work, I followed all instructions, but it appears that the sync doesn’t happen. Not sure what’s going wrong. The server logs are showing a registration completed, a few get and put statements, but no progress takes place. When I check the quota I get “could not retrieve quota information” Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Well, I have a VPS I attempted to install it on, succeeded up to the point where the sync came up in firefox. It didn’t do anything and attempts to re-connect have failed. I will attempt to re-set it all up using a vm image of ubuntu or debian. I was hoping you had a pre-configued image but it’s no big deal to set one up.

Thanks for commenting. I would if I knew of a pre-configured VM image (which I don’t). What is the specific problem you are having?
