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.
You can configure these and other settings—such as which mail server provides mail
service for WebMail—by running an interactive Perl script in a Terminal window, with
root privileges. The script operates by reading original values from the config.php file
and writing new values back to config.php.
Important: If you use the interactive configuration script to change any SquirrelMail
settings, you must also use the script to enter your server’s domain name. If you fail to
do this, WebMail will be unable to send messages.
The WebMail configuration settings apply to all websites hosted by your web service.
