Trick I'd like to share

[Nicotine]

For those of you that use webmail, here's a neat little trick I set up for a customer to make it easy on them.

First set up a subdomain mail.yourdomain.com

Then change the redirect to www.yourdomain.com:2095

From now on, when you go to mail.yourdomain.com, it will instantly give you a login prompt. enter your user's full email address and password which you've set up in cpanel and then you can choose neomail or horde.

I haven't figured out how to make it go directly to horde instead of neomail though. If anyone figures it out let me know.

I'm not 100% positive it will work for everyone, but it's worked for me so far.

I moved this post just so it had more to do with the topic of the forum.

Thanks for the little trick to.

Thanks!

I am so glad I found hostgator. This is what I've been looking for for so long. Nobody else even comes close.

you did know about www.yourdomain.com/webmail right?

And as far as going straight to one I don't know anything that can either. I suggest asking that at www.cpanel.net seems like there has to be some better shortcut.

Yes I did know about the www.domainname.com/webmail, I just wanted to make it easier on my users to go directly to their mail.

I did figure out how to go directly to horde also.

http://www.domainname.com:2082/horde/index.php

Now I just redirect the 'mail' subdomain to that.

Now my users can check their webmail and log in with a few less clicks and an easy to remember address to get to it.

I have tried this, but no matter what redirection I input for one of my subdomains, it doesn't redirect! When I go back and look at the redirection, it is blank. I have tried:

http://mydomain.com:2095/horde/index.php

http://mydomain.com:2082/horde/index.php

After submitting my redirection, I get this message:

SubDomain Redirection
webmail.mydomain.com is currently being redirected to http://mydomain.com:2095/horde/index.php

All I get is the index listing for my webmail.mydomain.com

Any Suggestions?

once you get to your mail the simple way, save the page as your favorite, make sure it says something you can connect in your mind like "neo-mail" in the title of your favorites. From now on you start in favorites / neo-mail you hit that and it prompts for user/pw and your in. This is sorta like doing the maze backwards, takes a lefty to think like this

Thanx for the reply Tiger. I understand doing this for myself, but I am hosting this site for another compnay and the users connect through a variety of browsers and various ISPs. If the redirection for the subdomain would work, it would be much easier. I guess my real question is, Why doesn't my subdomain redirection work?
