4 WebMail
Enable WebMail for the websites on your server to
provide access to basic email operations by means of a
web connection.
WebMail adds basic email functions to your website. If your web service hosts more
than one website, WebMail can provide access to mail service on any or all of the sites.
The mail service looks the same on all sites.
WebMail Basics
The WebMail software is included in Mac OS X Server, but is disabled by default.
The WebMail software is based on SquirrelMail (version 1.4.1), which is a collection of
open-source scripts run by the Apache server. For more information on SquirrelMail,
see the website www.squirrelmail.org.
WebMail Users
If you enable WebMail, a web browser user can:
• Compose messages and send them
• Receive messages
• Forward or reply to received messages
• Maintain a signature that is automatically appended to each sent message
• Create, delete, and rename folders and move messages between folders
• Attach files to outgoing messages
• Retrieve attached files from incoming messages
• Manage a private address book
• Set WebMail Preferences, including the color scheme displayed in the web browser
To use your WebMail service, a user must have an account on your mail server.
Therefore, you must have a mail server set up if you want to offer WebMail on your
websites.
Users access your website’s WebMail page by appending /WebMail to the URL of your
site. For example, http://mysite.example.com/WebMail/.
