The three steps are as follows:
1) Download Webmail Server application.
2) Uncompress the archive on your Linux server.
3) Create a “config” file with the required details to connect to your email system.
This article will guide you through each step of the process, so you should be able to get started right away. However, before you begin it is important to know that webmail hosting support should only be used by individuals or small business owners with a limited number of email addresses until they’ve set up everything correctly. For professional webmail hosting support please contact your existing domain name providers so they can guide you through the process, we recommend: http://www.use1.ca
Download the Webmail Server application using the link below or by searching for it on Google. You can also download it directly from our site here. Save the file to your Linux server and uncompress the archive once downloaded by right-clicking on it and selecting Extract Here. It will create a folder with the name of the archive (WebmailServer-3.1.10)
Once you’ve completed these steps there should be two files in your directory, WebMailServer, and Webmin. We will now go ahead and create a configuration file so that our server knows what information to use to connect to your email system. Open the file with the name “config” and copy the following contents into it:
#!/bin/bash ## WebMailServer is a free web based email server. It includes POP3, IMAP and SMTP servers. ## Please refer to http://www.webmailserver.org for more information on how to configure your clients ## IMPORTANT: the config file must be saved as a plain text format, otherwise it will not work. ## your mail server name/IP address mail_server=”localhost” ## your outgoing SMTP mail server address smtp_server=”localhost” ## your incoming POP3 tcp port pop3_port=110 pop3_auth_port=143 pop3_user=”username” ## your incoming IMAP tcp port imap_port=143 imap_auth_port=220 imap_user=”username” ## your outgoing SMTP connection encryption method (none, tls or starttls) smtp_tls=”no” ## your incoming IMAP connection encryption method (none, tls or starttls) imap_ssl=”yes”
## Authentication types: none / user / passed user_auth=”no”
## Use SSL for incoming connections? imap_ssl=”yes” pop3_tls=”no”
## name of the home directory for users home=”/var/www/html/”
## username-based maildir path, defaults to “%u.Maildir” maildir=”%u.Maildir”
## Choose either one: prefix=”INBOX”
## Choose either one: suffix=”.Inbox”
## storage size limit for mailbox users in bytes, defaults to 1000000 (1 Megabyte) storage_max=”100000″
The first seven lines of the file should be replaced with your server information. The rest of the file can be left untouched. ## your mail server name/IP address mail_server=”localhost” ## your outgoing SMTP mail server address smtp_server=”localhost” ## your incoming POP3 tcp port pop3_port=110 pop3_auth_port=143 pop3_user=”username” ## your incoming IMAP tcp port imap_port=143 imap_auth_port=220 imap_user=”username” ## your outgoing SMTP connection encryption method (none, tls or starttls) smtp_tls=”no” ## your incoming IMAP connection encryption method (none, tls or starttls) imap_ssl=”yes”
## Authentication types: none / user / passed user_auth=”no”
The next step is to create a home directory for your users and set the permissions for this directory. Ensure you replace username with the actual name of the directory you are creating. cd /var/www/html sudo mkdir username
sudo chmod -R 755 username
Finally, run the following command to start the webmail service: Sudo sh Webmin/webmin-installer
You should now be able to access your new webmail server at http://yourdomain.com/username
