RoundCube with Captcha Security Image and mvision skin support

RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking.
The text above is from the RoundCube Webmail Project website. RoundCube is indeed a very interesting webmail project. It is using Web 2.0 technologies and is highly customable. The team behind the project is certainly creating one of the best webmail applications ever!
For a couple of week ago I was browsing through the RoundCube forum and found a template called mvision made by Miha. I was totally baffled since it is a very good looking skin and it is working very well.
Localization
RoundCube is supporting a lot of languages. I have only localized two of the language files to support localized captcha security text field description (Swedish and English). All other languages are showing “Security Code”.
Prerequisite
PHP5 and GD-library with support for freetype is needed for the captcha function
2008-10-01 Update
Added support for mvision2 and also updated roundcube to 0.2beta. Source package is removed from server.
2009-02-15 Update
- Upgraded to round cube 0.2 stable.
- Fixed configuration problem
- Integrated mvision 2.2
- Added captcha javascript reload function on login page (se picture in this blog post)
2009-03-10 Update
- Reworked zippackage, fixed some typos etc (thanks to Cyril DUCHENOY for his feedback)

I would like to know whether you have the PSD of the buttons so that I can edit the names to the Portuguese – Brazil, if you want to know how you have put them to download.
Check the RoundCube forum and ask the author of the skin.

Hi!
Is it working for you? I have a problem. After patching and enabling the use_captcha, i can\’t login. It seems not to compare the right values (captcha image vs. typed in), but these are the same… have you any idea?
Thank a lot,

Yes, it is working for me. But I have not updated the code to the last roundcube release. I will check it out, but it will take some time since I am on holiday.
The code is now updated. Read at the end of my blog post.
Upgraded to roundcube 0.2 stable, fixed some problems and added support for captcha reload.
Hi!
can you just put the patch file used to roundcube-0.2 stable
for the captcha.
Thx
I have got a message that says that the svn patches does not include all files, can anyone confirm this?
Hi,

Erik, yes. svn patches is not work correctly
I will redo the captcha patch and make it as a plugin for roundcube 0.3. RC
Right now I am on vacation.
There are a captcha plugin for roundcube 0.3RC here: http://code.google.com/p/myroundcube/ (I have not tested it)

but, captcha is none..
my php-5.2.6 with all plugin support & also
testing using php-5.2.9 with all plugin support got same problem..captcha still none…

I have not done anything on this, since there is a new plugin for roundcube which does this:

How to configure this captcha..?
even from your svn patch roundcube 02stable_captcha , the captcha isn’t working. Its directly going to login page without any captcha attempt.
