@Introduction
============

This is CAMAS or CAudium Mail Access System, a webmail for the Caudium webserver
which uses the IMAP protocol for now to access mail.

Camas is originally based on IMHO, see the CREDITS-IMHO file for more
informations on IMHO. Camas now has some major differences with IMHO because
it does not have the same goals and has more developer's time behind it.

Overview and goals
==================

What Camas is not:

. Easy to configure.
. For personal use.
. Known and developed with fashion languages.
. Good documented for the administrator.
. A strong community.

What Camas is:

. Design for professional use, Camas is mainly developed by companies either
  ISP or B2B ones. The first one want speed the second want features and
  templating.
. Maintained up to now.
. With unique features like total RXML templating, intelligent IMAP cache (
  intelligent meaning it pre fetch all it can), non blocking IMAP client,
  extensible with your own modules, fancy features like the ability to answers
  several mails with one click,...

Mailing lists
=============

The developers mailing list is camas-devel@@caudium.net. You can use it to report
bugs, patch and technical ideas.
For other things you can use the general mailing list at camas-general@@caudium.net.

Debugging
=========

Camas uses macros for speed and sanity reasons. This means that your copy of 
Camas may not have debug enabled by default, it's especially true for stable
release. To enable debug, start caudium with -DCAMAS_DEBUG or add
#define CAMAS_DEBUG in server/etc/include/camas/globals.h. You will then have
the choice of debug for each module in the configuration interface.

Installation
============

This version of Camas has been tested with Caudium 1.2 and Pike 7.2. It is
known to start with Caudium 1.3 and Pike 7.5, you can try with older versions
but it might not work as developers don't use older versions.

At the time of this writing (1.2.16 RC1), Camas has been tested with the 
following IMAP servers:

. WU-IMAP
. Courier-IMAP (best tested so far).
. Cyrus 2
. Dovecot

For more informations see the file INSTALLING.

For people upgrading from previous versions of Camas or IMHO, please see the
file UPGRADING.

Why CAMAS ?
-----------

CAMAS is a fork of IMHO 0.97.1, with a lots of new added functions.

We added a lots of functions to 0.97.1, such as :

 o Mail filters,
 o Size of the folders,
 o Customizable login, logout, compose mail screens
 o Bugs corrections, etc...

Code was split into pmod and .h files to help third-party vendors
make modifications easily.

The sessions system is now based on Kai's 123session module, this helps us
to have more flexibility and maybe the capability to have a cluster
of CAMAS behind a load balancer without any IP persistence system.

A lots of site-wide functions were added to help the administrator in
setting up the defaults e.g. for a commercial webmail system.

Compatibilty
------------

Our aim is to have the most compatible system between IMHO and CAMAS,
if there is some improvement in IMHO we back port it into CAMAS, and
we would wish that the IMHO team have a look into our code to 
add new functionality to their product as well :)

But warning, some features from CAMAS to IMHO maybe are not compatible.

Documentation
-------------

IMHO has a really bad drawback: almost no documentation. The best
way to find the documentation on the layout format is: "use the source, Luke!".
For professional environment this is not acceptable. So we 
expect to create a lots of documentation and give some complete examples
of professional templates to help this tools be accepted by the
professional staff.
