This isn't fix, AFAICT. Horde_Mapi cannot be a required library if it requires a non-standard PHP library, since we don't require this anywhere else -- with the exception of gettext. I don't have bcmath on my system, and it isn't mentioned anywhere in INSTALL documentation. We must gracefully handle if Horde_Mapi is not installed.

Works fine here. I see and can download the PDF file attachment. We have resolved the problem. It is caused by php-bcmath was not installed so that horde/Horde_Mapi was not automatically installed.

Some emails with "winmail.dat" may cause the Horde showing "Error when communicating with the server". Attached are the screenshot and email sample. We tried other open source webmail (e.g. roundcube, SquirrelMail) that got no problem.
