WebMail administration

WebMail administration performs just through the single Administration Console.

Navigate to "http://path_to_webmail/mailadm.php" page in your browser. Use "mailadm" as Login name.
Type your default admin password "12345". It is strongly recommended to change this password.

After login Administration Console appears with the following menu:

Login Settings section.

Value Description
Standard Login Panel All fields are displayed (email, login, password).
Hide login field Hide login field and take it from email:
  1. Use Email as Login - whole email address is used as login (e.g. if email is jdoe@domain.com, login will be jdoe@domain.com)
  2. Use Account Name as Login - truncate email address from "@" and use the remainder (e.g. if email is jdoe@domain.com, login will be jdoe)
Hide email field Hide Email field and build e-mail address from login field and, optionally, from domain
  1. Display Domain After Login Field - on login form, "@"domain will be displayed after login field. This parameter affects only visual look of login panel. Decision on how to build login or email address is not altered.
  2. If ticked, WebMail will construct email account login as concatenation of Login field contents + "@" + domain. You should use this if logins on your mail server look like jdoe@domain.com (i.e. they are the same as email address). Do NOT use this option if logins look like jdoe (e.g. just account name, without domain).
Allow advanced login If checked, clients of the WebMail system will be able to use the system with POP3/SMTP servers different from specified in POP3/SMTP Server settings.
Automatically detect and correct if user inputs e-mail instead of account-name. Allow WebMail to detect and fix when user inputs email instead of login, or login instead of email, and it's possible to determine correct login or e-mail from typed. Example: if user inputs full email address in Login field (while only account name is expected), WebMail will automatically drop @domain part.

Enable Logging Enable logging of mail operations (POP3/SMTP) into a file. Path For Log box specifies physical location (e.g. C:\Data\log.txt for Windows or /pub/webmail/data/log.txt for Unix) where to create the log.
