Introduction

Webmail is software which allows you to view email from any computer, anywhere in the world, through your web browser. OpenWebMail is a simple, fast and popular webmail package. The website is [http://openwebmail.org/ here]. This guide will enable you to setup webmail on your own server, for use either within your home network, or outside.

Preparation

In order to run, you need to first set up a number of things:

• A working Mail Transfer Engine, see MailServer

Installation

Simple, install the package OpenWebMail.

 sudo apt-get install openwebmail 

SORRY BUT YOU MUST PRECISE THAT. NO OPENWEBMAIL PACKAGE FOUND

I have to agree with this. apt-cache search doesn't seem to know about anything like it either. --starkruzr (6/6/06)

Configuration

OpenWebMail is ready to be used! Every user account on the server has an email account with the same username/password. To add more email users, simply create more users on the system.

Check it works!

Open a webbrowser, and go to the address http://localhost/openwebmail. Change localhost for the address of your server. You should see the OpenWebMail login box!
