Ok, let's try and work through it.

Can you do any of the steps?

Can you get 1 - 4 done?

HI David,

Thanks for trying to help buddy but I haven't actually bought Nutsmail yet.

I am just looking for an idiots guide on installing it so I can see if it is something I can do and maintain myself or if it is something I am going to have to pay someone to do for me.

Thanks once again for trying to help, it is much appreciated.

Take care, Keith

Get squirrelmail (free) and try to install that using the directions that come with it. Nutsmail is installed the same way, so if you can install Squirrelmail, you can install Nutsmail.

Try clicking in the area you want to change and holding down CTRL and rolling your mousewheel up or down to change the font size.

Ahh, ok no problem. Try slapshotw's suggestion, that will give you some experience with installation.

Pay HG a small fee to install it for you.

[Keith W]

Thanks to my lovely wifes credit card I have now purchased Nutsmail.

I am now about to try and install it, watch this space as I may be back to ask for help! LOL

[Keith W]

OK I did exactly as it said in the instructions, I go to my nutsmail installation and get the following error:

PHP Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in /home/dkw1964/public_html/webmail/config/config.php on line 1 


Any ideas on what has caused this and how I can fix it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Keith W]

Solved it

They are very bad people, in the config.php where you have to enter your various settings they have for instance for org name:

$org_name = " ";

Notice the quotation marks?

It should in fact be:

$org_name = ' ';

Once I had realised this and changed them all everything worked and I now have Nutsmail up and running.

[Keith W]

OK I spoke to soon, I just tried to send an email and was met with this error:

Message not sent. Server replied:

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
550 gator500.hostgator.com (webmail.wapshott.com) [74.53.172.66]:55374 is
currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not
logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP
Authentication turned on in your email client.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Keith,

Three suggestions:

1. Search this board. People have had similar issues.
2. Enable "use sendmail binary." If it doesn't work make sure the sendmail path is /usr/sbin/sendmail.
3. Start a new thread.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your help.

I managed to figure it out, again in was down to wrong information given in the nutsmail installation file.

They said to enter the following:

$smtpServerAddress = 'mail.yourdomain.com';

When it in fact should be:

$smtpServerAddress = 'localhost';

I have now managed to both send and receive mail so it all appears to be working OK

I'm considering having some of my clients use the new webmail system at
webmail.hostgator.com Under the option-spam filters-edit ther are a lot of differnt options to select for filtering using the check boxes. Any one with advice/experience whith wich ones would be good to select?

Thanks

I must say. After using the new web system, I can't imagine having to go back and use the old one. Simply, flawless.
Great job guys.
I am so glad I switched hosting companies. =]

The new system was implemented long before you joined the forum, so this post is more likely to be another attempt at hidden image spam disguised as vacuous praise for HG.

Yes you can.

[BlinkJet]

Wow.. Thanks for that! It looks interesting to me

[eaglegene]

The only disadvantage i see with this new email system, unless i have overlooked it, is that it doesnt appear that you can send emails out to "Groups"? Looks like only 1 at a time? Is this right.

The reason i ask is that i work for a football league/team and i have mailing lists. As far as i can see i dont have the mailing list option here?

[34Ford]

15 emails and its almost full

Pitiful.

[steel]

I like the new email system. But now I'm having trouble logging on. I'm not sure what username (email address) and password I should use.

[GvilleRick]

The username for the email will include the domain in the form of username@domain.com along with the password you have assigned for that username in your cPanel.

[steel]

Thanks for the help Rick! I wasn't using the right password.

Best Regards,

steel

Are their plans to have this version of webmail available for each addon domain or off a main hosting account domain. i.e.: http://webmail.myhostingdomain.com/ or http://webmail.customerdomain.com/

If this is not available yet, which it seems is the case. Does anyone know how I could set up my own subdomain to my hosting domain to mask the URL of the webmail.hostgator.com. Obviously it is my intention to keep my customers loyal to me and seeing my domain name more consistantly.

[slapshotw]

You can just make your own installation of Nutsmail, which is what Hostgator uses. I've given instructions for that earlier in the thread.

There's also the built-in webmail that cPanel has if your clients go to yourdomain.com/webmail.
