Modules - Webmail

Overview

A web-based e-mail solution ideal for allowing users 'on the road' and without a mail client to access mail on the server using any computer connected to the Internet.

Installation

If you did not select this module to be included during the installation process, you must first install the module.

This module is described as the "Web Access Module" under Webconfig's "Software Modules" list.

Accessing Webmail

• The webmail system runs on port 83 on the HTTPS protocol. To access the system type https://192.168.1.1:83/ or https://yourdomain.com:83/

• If webmail access is required from the Internet, please allow connections to port 83 (webmail) on the firewall .

• Web-based mail requires the IMAP server to be running.

• Users will receive a pop-up warning in their web browser similar to that shown below. This is normal and does not diminish the fact that the connection is encrypted and secure. If desired, you can customize and manage the secure certificate using the SSL Certificate Manager.

• Login to your webmail account
• Click on Mail > Filters in the menu
