Due to the perils of simultaneous wordpress editing a crucial error snuck into the previous blogpost:
The newly required DNS entries are:
dkim1._domainkey CNAME dkim1._domainkey.kolabnow.com.
dkim2._domainkey CNAME dkim2._domainkey.kolabnow.com.
and NOT as the previous blogpost claimed
dkim1 CNAME dkim1.kolabnow.com.
dkim2 CNAME dkim2.kolabnow.com.
The previous blogpost has been corrected meanwhile.
Apologies, and merry Christmas!

The proposition of the Kube campaign is the following:
You sign-up now via Kube for a Kolab Now account, and pay only for the currently available feature-set that Kube provides at the moment. The web client will be limited to the same feature-set, but as Kube progresses and covers more features you will also get those features for the web client, while you get to keep your reduced subscription price.
It was already previously possible to navigate through Kube by moving the keyboard focus using tab and arrow keys, however that is neither fast nor efficient. To be able to really blaze through your Inbox we naturally require VIM style keybindings. To move through the UI we want to be able to go through folders, threads and mails using a single key press, without worrying where the focus currently is.
LMDB is a great embeddable key-value store that we use extensively for Kube.
Using it is not completely straightforward though, so here’s a short guide for future reference.
Kube on Mac OS
After a week of getting to grips with how Qt development on mac works and wrangling various build issues, I am pleased to finally report success =)
Kube on Mac OS is alive!
Around FOSDEM this year we have found some fresh manpower for Kube! Please welcome Rémi, who is doing an internship with us, and is working on Kube during that time. He was quick to land his first few patches and is now busy implementing the first few steps for CalDAV based calendaring support.
I for one am exited to see what he will come up with =)
The most recent addition to Kube is fulltext search. It’s a complex enough topic that we don’t really want to implement it in our key-value store that we use for the rest of the data, which is why we’re using Xapian to do the heavy lifting.
Kube is an offline capable client, and as such we also want search to work without an internet connection. However, we naturally can only search the data that you have available locally. Normally this means we’ll have subject and recipients indexed for all your mail, and the complete content for all mails that you have every viewed/downloaded.
In the long run we’ll want to extend that with server-side searching for when you’re connected to the server, so that you could indeed search through all your data, without having to first download it all. But that is a task for another day.
So here it goes; Fast as you type searching of your emails:
Searching a folder with 50k messages.

When synchronizing a larger folder in Kube, you’ll notice that the memory usage is growing at an alarming rate.
Surely something must be wrong? Let’s dig into that.
