Hello,
i was wondering if there was a way to have someone log into webmail directly through two textboxes (username + pass). What i mean is, i dont want ppl to have to goto the site, fill in their entire email and pass into the dialog box that pops up, then have to select which mail system to use. I want them to go directly to the uebimiau index page.

I believe the only way would be to give them a link:

http://www.yourdomain.com:2095/neomail/neomail.pl

It would be good to know a better way :)


Lats...

With that URL, they would still need to go to the hassle of the pass and all. Personally I don't like e-mail things that come with cPanel and such, I prefer it when the e-mail is on a sub like with PlesK, you get IMP which is great! (I think the latest version really is)

Hmm, maybe you could install something like IMP and let them use that or something similar which you don't need to go to domain.com:2095/blah/blah/blah.php then select the mail service and blah. Just a thought, but may be too much hassle for you- that is what I'd do.

I guess PHPost is the answer :)

I use it even though I have Cpanel with neomail + uebimiau on my server. It's very lite and easy to customize..really great.

My customers go straight to http://domain/phpost/ where a login box will appear.

Have a form that gets username and password and inserts them in http://user:pass@www.yourdomain.com:2095/neomail/neomail.pl

Where could you download PHPost?

Also, would it be possible to use IMP instead of NeoMail? Personally I don't like the mail systems that come with cPanel, but like IMP and that only comes with PlesK, but don't like PlesK- this being my dilema. So would it be possible to get IMP to work with cPanel and does anyone know how easy it would be?
Thanks.

PHPost looks really nice, its just im having trouble with it. When i try to send an email i get this error:
ERROR: 220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
If anyone knows the problem please let me know.

IMP was my first chioce, but b.c im a noob i had trouble installing it...its confusing and you have to install horde and some other stuff it needs to run with..

Thanks. I don't really like PHPost, doesn't seem too good at all I'm afraid. I like IMP a lot and have used it a lot with F2s when they gave free hosting, still use it now; would have paid for it if it was cheaper. £24 a year for 20mb, when I can get Lycos Mail Plus for only £12 a year with 25mb.
I love IMP, but not as much to spend double the price on paid email hosting.

Try setting $config["sendvia"] to "PIPE" instead of default "SMTP"
in phpost.inc.php.
