Can someone give me an example of a webmail URL address? My company does not support special "ports" due to security and it's hard to find a web hosting company that uses https or that doesn't use special ports when accessing webmail. Thank you.

The webmail is either accessed through

http://www.yourdomain.com:2095

or

http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail , which redirects to port 2095.

You can access your mail through POP3 if you like, or you can install your own e-mail reading software, in your website, running on the standard port 80, that would work.

Is there a test page where I can try to see if my work LAN will let me bypass into your webmail functions/feature? My WAN only allows 80 and 8080 traffic, that is it.

You can run a cgi proxy script on your site to access webmail port 80 if thats the case.

To test it,

just goto

http://www.uglypeople.co.uk:2095

If it prompts you for a username and password, that's ok.

If it doesn't work, you can use a proxy, or install your own webmail.

The normal 2095 port does not work. I'll need to be able to access my email from work of course, because that's where I live and spend most of my pathetic life at! I'm not sure about installing or having a CGI to do this...is it hard and will lunar do it for me at all? Just asking...I've been searching a while for a reliable, relatively quick hosting company and it's taking too much time!  "[Smile]"

Thanks,

Michael

So is installing my own webmail as you said a hard thing to do? I NEED to access to view my email at work through my tight firewall we have. Ports cannot be used, as long with pop servers of anykind. I can't even FTP at work!!! I have been continuing to look at other hosting companies and some are CHEAP and some are EXPENSIVE. I won't mention any names here, but I was with an expensive one that was just draining my pocket. Their service was %100 and downtime was 0. It's what you pay for these days, huh?

Actually it is very easy, we have a number of clients that have installed squirrel mail because of the exact same issue.

Squirrelmail I like and have used before. Am I allowed to compile and install this myself? Will Lunar do this for me? Just curious.

If you need to view my config.php file, let me know. I've gotten squirrelmail working with just a few hitches in the beginning. Works great.

That will be my next victim to get working. If shell access was available, i'd be all over it to get it working.

you can't get it to work.  spell checking makes a call of the exec function, which lunarpages has disabled.  i know there is a workaround for it, but i'm too lazy to learn php to hack the plugin myself.
