Nextcloud-20.0.x and mail-1.7.2:. not compatible

ℹ️ Support ✉️ Mail client integration

I’m using nextcloud-20.0.2 on ubuntu-18.0.4 which has php-7.2.

I cannot activate mail-1.7.2 within nextcloud, it seems to require php-7.3.

When I look at the appstore, I see this table:

Nextcloud version Mail version …
Nextcloud 20 1.7.2 …
Nextcloud 19 1.4.2 …
Nextcloud 18 1.4.2 …

I learned via Github that:

  • for mail-1.6.x and 1.7.x, you have to use Nextcloud 20 and PHP 7.3
  • for mail-1.5.x, you can use Nextcloud 20 and PHP 7.2

For me as a user of nextcloud and mail (maybe in the future), this is quite unsatisfying. At the moment, I cannot rely on the appstore table to determine the mail version to use. At least for my instance, mail 1.7.2 is not compatible with my nextcloud 20 instance. So I would like to see:

Nextcloud version Mail version …
Nextcloud 20 1.5.2 …
Nextcloud 19 1.4.2 …
Nextcloud 18 1.4.2 …

Although the Nextcloud system requirements states that PHP 7.2 is still supported this is only the case until a PHP version hasn’t been declared End Of Life.

Due to the fact that the EOL date of PHP 7.2 was November 30th 2020 you will need to update your PHP version asap to be able to use the mail app again. BTW, there are other apps, like e.g. the Bookmarks app which also requires PHP 7.3 :wink:
