WebMail
WebMail adds basic email functions to your Web site. If your Web service hosts more than
one Web site, WebMail can provide access to mail service on any or all of the sites. The mail
service looks the same on all sites.
The WebMail software is included in Mac OS X Server, but is disabled by default.
Note: Enabling WebMail requires making changes to UNIX configuration files in the
Terminal application. To enable WebMail, you must be comfortable with typing UNIX
commands and using a UNIX text editor.
The WebMail software is based on SquirrelMail, which is a collection of open-source scripts
run by the Apache server. For more information on SquirrelMail, see this Web site:
www.squirrelmail.org
WebMail Users
If you enable WebMail, a Web browser user can
m compose messages and send them
m receive messages
m forward or reply to received messages
m maintain a signature that is automatically appended to each sent message
m create, delete, and rename folders and move messages between folders
m attach files to outgoing messages
m retrieve attached files from incoming messages
m manage a private address book
m 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 Web sites.
