NEW Webmail System! - Page 9

If DNS is being hosted by the same server that your site is on, then you do it through WHM, under Edit DNS zone.

If you're hosting DNS somewhere else, such as enom or godaddy, then you'd do it there.

You could also do what I, and many others do, and just install it yourself. It's just a nutsmail-skinned squirrelmail which you can get and customize an installation of.

Just got off the phone with HG. Looks like they couldn't get any volume discounts so they're not pursuing getting resellers and dedicated customers this.

But looks like Ill be buying it and installing it myself since it looks more user friendly than all the other email apps.

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks all,
Josh

If you can do it at all, it would be done in cPanel on your DNS Zone. You DNS registration site, likely doesn't have CNAME enteries, unless you aren't using HostGator's name servers.

If you can't edit your DNS zone, support can do it for you.

I've had it installed for my clients to use for months. They seem to really like it, though it's not without a few bugs.

Nice!.. any chance of putting it behind an SSL .. even if the cert doesn't quite match? That would be great!

Serra · #**208** 03-12-2007, 03:14 PM

All sites have a shared SSL.

(It gives errors in other browsers too, indicating that it doesn't look like it's available via SSL.... just used IE as an example)

From a ticket I opened today:

"
There are currently no plans to integrate an SSL with webmail.hostgator.com.

Simply login with your Email Address and Password and you're ready to go!

Looks like a great interface. Thanks!

One SUGGESTION: Please allow for a secure login at an address such as:

https://webmail.hostgator.com/

Or is a secure log in possible through some other address?

Just install your own webmail client. Use squirrelmail or roundcube for free, or pay $29 for nutsmail. Then you can put it behind a forced SSL connection, configure it how you want, stick your logo on it, anything.

Thanks Slapshotw. But actually, in my case, I have no real need for any other customizations. I just want the option to log in using SSL.

But if I do get around installing my own webmail client, I'd like to give the open source edition of Zimbra a try. Has anyone in this forum had any success installing Zimbra?

PsiPro · #**214** 03-29-2007, 05:37 PM

You can access secure webmail like this:
https://www.domain.com:2096/

And yes we have discuessed Zimbra before, and last we chatted it was not possible without some heavy modifcations to cPanel.

Actually, such an address allows for secure access to Horde, SquirrelMail and RoundCube. But it doesn't allow for secure access to the "NEW Webmail System" (nutsmail) discussed in this thread. That new system, as far as I can tell can only be accessed at http://webmail.hostgator.com/.

I am simply suggesting that access to the new webmail system should also be available at https://webmail.hostgator.com/ (or at an equivalent secure address).

Thanks. I'll search the board for these threads.

So what I have been picking up from here is that the new e-mail interface WILL NOT be offered to resellers for their webmail. Instead what we should be looking forward to is the new version of Roundcube...

That's incorrect. Resellers can use the new webmail interface right now at webmail.hostgator.com. It is branded "hostgator" though, so if you don't want your customers to know where you buy from, you're better off installing your own system (which I think is a MUCH better idea for a number of reasons anyway).

gtgeorge · #**218** 04-01-2007, 09:29 PM

But how can we do that without the definitive Serra's "So you want to offer your clients customized webmail" guide

Maybe I should write one. I've recommended people install their own webmail so many times in this forum AND on this thread that it's getting hard to count. It's just such a better idea for SO MANY reasons.

That would be great--Serra has not TMed the phrase "So...you want". Or you could call it Slapshot's Imapnot (sorry).

claygorman · #**221** 04-02-2007, 03:24 PM

loving the new email system!!!

Could maybe add some features for configuring pop settings more?

bfdexp · #**222** 04-02-2007, 07:16 PM

SRY, thats what I meant - can't brand it like Roundcube, ect

Works for me too. Does anyone know if this page can be branded?

All it is is nutsmail. You can buy that for $30 (or do free squirrelmail which works as well but doesn't look as good), and brand it yourself. Squirrelmail is a really nicely built system and the nutsmail themes work well on it.

I wouldn't start screwing around the the cPanel install of roundcube, trying to brand it. Just install roundcube yourself. It's 100% free, super easy to install, and you can brand it however you want without locking yourself into cPanel (and, it'll be port 80 so users won't have trouble accessing it).
