I can not comment on the felamimail docs, but yes the phpgw docs are a
little dated.

First try reading the available docs, then ask here or on #phpgroupware
on irc.freenode.net

I am not sure.  Maybe it was a bad time, maybe it got overlooked, maybe
the question did not give enough info.  There are a whole range of
reasons.  Also keep in mind support is provided by volunteers, so people
will answer if they have the knowledge and the time.

Now I am starting to get a little narky.  I have counted to 10 and now
here is my response.  

1) See above
2) RTFM
3) Look through the archives
4) Complaining about a free service is a bit much in my book.

I can understand your frustration, but I think your attitude on this is
pretty poor.  I also get sick and tired of typing the same responses all
the time.

Cheers
