Hey,


I was wondering which is a better email program squirrelmail or horde? Also in horde how do I make a custom login screen? Is there a redirect script I could embedd in my own html file?


Any info would be helpful

I like SquirrelMail better. I think Horde is a pain to install. I also have made custom login screens with SquirrelMail with ease.

IMP default skin looks way better the Squerril. Maybe with customization it looks better, but if not it looks like crap.

Either of you know if it's possible to configure SquerrilMail to open multiple POP accounts? And when you click Reply, it use the right SMTP account that goes with the POP account the message was received from?

Thanks,

Neofree

I know you can use the built-in pop3 plug-in to retrieve mail from any pop3 server as as many as you wish. There are plug-ins to get mail from hotmail also.

Squirrrelmail currently sends email out through the specified SMTP or Sendmail server the admin chooses. It won't send out the the POP3 account it retrieved from.

I am sure this would all be possible with a plug-in that someone could develop. I just don't see why anyone could care what SMTP server you send from?

Quite simlpe. I have more then one e-mail address. One is work, one is personal. When I click Reply to a work message, I want it to be "From" my work e-mail, and so on.

Outlook does this already for me. I just want a web client to do the same thing.

Thanks,

Neofree

Squirrelmail by far.... so easy to install, customise and maintain... it's almost perfect.... almost! ;)

OK, I just got SquirrelMail to do what I want to do!!! Finally, plus 1.4.0 had built in fetch mail plugin, and themes!

IT RULES :)

What 1.4.0 I have been using SquirrelMail for years and helped fix a few problems with it in the past. I am telling you that 1.4.0 is just not nearly as stable as the older 1.2 series. We are having troubles with the series (this is to be expected in new builds).

Just a fyi

SquirrelMail? can someone link me to the info page please.

Has anyone had success in installing Squirrelmail in a Cpanel server so that all the domains could use it?

This will install it so that it runs on Port 80:

SSH to server as root.

cd /home

wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squirrelmail/squirrelmail-X.X.X.tar.gz

tar xvzf squirrelmail-X.X.X.tar.gz

mv squirrel-X.X.X sqmail

*Note: Replace the X.X.X with the current SquirrelMail version number. Currently, it is 1.4.0.

cd sqmail

mkdir attachments

chmod -R 777 attachments data

cd config

perl conf.pl

You will now get a menu that you can use to configure SquirrelMail. Here are some pertinent items.

Under ORGANIZATION PREFERENCES

You can change the organization name to whatever you like. If you are using this on a server where you have resellers, I would suggest leaving it as is.

Under SERVER SETTINGS

Change Domain to your domain. (I would suggest the server hostname)
Change IMAP server to your server. (server hostname)
Change SMTP server to your server. (server hostname)

Go to the plugins section and add the calendar and other plugins you want. I added the spellchecker and few others.

Exit and save your settings.

cd /etc/httpd/conf

cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.squirrel-install.backup

pico -w httpd.conf

At the top of the httpd.conf file, add this line:

Alias /sqmail /home/sqmail/

ctrl-0 (save file)

ctrl-x (exit pico)

Restart Apache via WHM.

Go to http://yourdomain.com/sqmail and log in.

It will be accessilbe at http://any_domain_on_the_server/sqmail

*Note: You can go back and run the conf.pl file at any time on the command line to add more plugins or change the configuration.

Enjoy!

oops, double post.

Great thanks!

i think horde is better. horde might not be as easy to install, but it is ALOT better, so many more features, looks nicer, and feels better.

edit:
its easy to make custom login pages for both squirrel mail and horde.

how do you make a custom login page for horde. in squirrel mail all you had to do is make a form and put the address to the redirect script as the action. How do you do it for horde

We been installing Squirrel on our Plesk boxes for over a year. We have both systems as some people do prefer Horde (don't know why, I hate it).

I happen to like the Horde better....

But also have grown quite fond of this one:

does horde or squirrelmail let you do this?

Yes, SquirrelMail allows you to add multiple POP accounts with the Fetch plugin. And if you add identities to go with each POP account,when you click reply it will automatically use the right e-mail address to send from.

I used to like IMP because I thought it looked better. But now that I can check AND send mail from one place, I use SquirrelMail and am loving it. I even ditched Outlook because it's been so much better now that I don't have to mark messages read in more then one place.

Neofree

wouldn't suppose you could do multiple imap accounts?

Hi,

I prefer squirell, since squirell dont allow the master account of the domain to spy on the others users inbox of the domain.

By the way, anyone knows how to stop this feature (bug?) from horde?
