Enabling WebMail
You can enable WebMail for the website (or sites) hosted by your web server. Changes
take effect when you restart web service.
To enable WebMail for a site:
1 Make sure your mail service is started and configured to provide IMAP and SMTP
service.
2 Make sure IMAP mail service is enabled in the user accounts of the users you want to
have WebMail access.
For details on mail settings in user accounts, see the user management guide.
3 In Server Admin, click Web in the list for the server you want.
4 Click Settings in the button bar.
5 In the Sites pane, double-click the site in the list.
6 In the Options pane, select WebMail.
7 Click Save.
Note: When you turn WebMail on, the PHP module is enabled (if it was not already on).
If you turn WebMail off, PHP remains on until you turn it off. See “Enabling PHP” on
page 52 for details.
Configuring WebMail
After enabling WebMail to provide basic email functions on your website, you can
change some settings to integrate WebMail with your site. You can do this by editing
the configuration file /etc/squirrelmail/config/config.php, or by using the Terminal
application to run an interactive configuration script with root privileges. Either way,
you actually change the settings of SquirrelMail, which is open source software that
provides WebMail service for the Apache web server of Mac OS X Server.
SquirrelMail, hence WebMail, has several options that you can configure to integrate
WebMail with your site. The options and their default settings are as follows:
• Organization Name is displayed on the main WebMail page when a user logs in. The
default is Mac OS X Server WebMail.
• Organization Logo specifies the relative or absolute path to an image file.
• Organization Title is displayed as the title of the web browser window while viewing
a WebMail page. The default is Mac OS X Server WebMail.
• Trash Folder is the name of the IMAP folder where mail service puts messages when
the user deletes them. The default is Deleted Messages.
• Sent Folder is the name of the IMAP folder where mail service puts messages after
sending them. The default is Sent Messages.
• Draft Folder is the name of the IMAP folder where mail service puts the user’s draft
messages. The default is Drafts.
