Default Webmail?

[creativeslant]

it's great that both neomail and horde are offered, but i would like to use only neomail. is there a way i can set this as a default so that my webmail users don't have to continually select neomail when they access webmail?

Before settling on NeoMail, take a look at SquirrelMail, which has recently been added to all TCH servers and websites. Simply point your browser to www.yoursite.com/sqmail

 

Click here to learn more about SuirrelMail and TCH, and even how to provide an embedded login prompt from within your web page.

 

Also, take a look here for some ideas about a direct link to Horde or NeoMail

 

Also, take a look here for a sample Javascript to interface directly to Horde. Perhaps you could modify it to do something similar to NeoMail.

Here's another possibility. Several months ago HG put together a little script to automate the log-on to webmail and KW did a little editting on it as well. It was designed to log into Horde. I put it up on a site I help with to make webmail a little easier for the staff and editted it further to make it match the website's look.

 

I played with the basic script tonight and changed it to log into NeoMail instead of Horde. One nice feature is that if kim@****** has an account she can log in using kim for the username and not kim@******. The script adds the @yourdomain for you. Note that this means you can't use the script to log into the main account, just the ones you create, but that should be no problem. I put it into a subdomain called webmail so they can access it by typing webmail.******.

 

All you really have to edit in the script is ******. KW has a link on the Help Pages under Webmail to an example of how he customized the old script to give you an idea of how it could work.

 

<script language="javascript">

function Login(form) {

var username = form.username.value

var password = form.password.value

var server = form.server.value

if (username && password && server) {

var neomail = "http://" + username +"+"+server+ ":" + password + "@" + server + ":2095/" + "neomail/neomail.pl"

window.status='WebMail'

window.location = neomail

 

}

else {

alert("Please fill the username and the password")

}

}

</script>

 

<form name=login>

<table border=0 cellpadding=1 align="center" width="430">

 

<tr><td align=center>

<font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">

<h1><b>WebMail Login</b></h1>

 

<!-- Replace the ****** in the next line with, well, you know. -->

 

<input type="hidden" value="******" name="server" maxlength="30" size="15">

</font></td></tr>

 

<tr><td align=center>

<h2>User:  

<input type=text name=username size=15 maxlength="30">

</h2></td></tr>

 

<tr><td align=center>

<h2>Password:  

<input type=password name=password size=20>

</h2></td></tr>

 

<tr><td align=center>

<input type=button value="Login" onClick="Login(this.form)" name="button">

</td></tr>

 

</table>

</form>
