Web Mail

[bigshew]

I have set up several emails for members of our group. A few can only send and receive via web mail. Can anyone explain how they need to retrieve their email?

[TCH-Don]

Are they using the full email address to log in?

name@tch-domain

name@tch-domain

 

I use Eudora myself but some wish to use web mail. Where do they go and log in at? I know nothing about email on the web.

Check out this page or this page for some guidance.

 

And as always, if you get lost, you've got many family members here willing to help out!

Enter this into your browser: http://your-TCH-domain.ext/webmail

 

Login with your full email address and password. Then you can choose between Squirrelmail and Horde.

Thanks folks. Got it working finally. I appreciate all the help.

[TCH-Don]

You are welcome

When I enter http://your-TCH-domain.ext/webmail, I am prompted for my CPanel username and password. Shouldn't there be a way to bypass that and go directly to webmail? What if I assign an email account to someone, but do not want them to have cPanel access?

 

Thanks.

The login box you are seeing is not for cPanel but to log into the webmail interface. If you enter your cPanel credentials it's the same as selecting webmail from within cPanel.

 

If you enter a valid email address and password it logs you into the webmail interface.

 

If you wish to use Squirrel Mail you can access it directly with http://you-TCH-domain/sqmail

Thank you, Bruce. I did not look carefully enough at the information the dialogue box was asking for.

 

Another question....if you want to avoid emails sent to bogus addresses at you domain, is it better to use ":blackhole:" or ":failed: no such address"? At first, I was leary on using the former since it would let spamers know they hit a valid domain, but the wrong address. But then I thought, that doesn't make sense since the very fact that they tried a bogus address shows they know there is a valid domain :-) Plus, I presume the benefit of using ":failed: no such address" is that is a legit person sends an email and mistypes address, they would receive the emaiul alerting them to this fact. I'd be interested in what other think is "best practices."

 

Thanks, again.

I've been using :fail: to trash mail not addressed to any accounts or forwards I've set up.

Thanks, Bruce. Is the text after the colon (:fail: no such address) returned to the sender as a message, or is this just a comment?

[TCH-Thomas]

Just :fail: will work.
