Setting up RoundCube webmail using cpanel

hmcm2006 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-08-09, 05:12 PM

Hi Folks

I've set up a default email address and a couple of others. I've set up RoundCube as the webmail client (i think!)

When i access RoundCube from Cpanel hosting control panel i can't send or receive emails.

I've also go no idea how our email users would access their email from a web browser.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

I've watched the tutorials but they seem to be about using the program not about how to set it up.

TIA

I've never heard of this so I cannot comment, but be patient and someone will probably be better qualified than I am to assist you

Hello,

I have tried sending emails using Round Cube from the server your account is hosted on. I am able to send/receive emails.

If you still are unable to send emails using Round Cube, please PM me the domain name in question OR send an email at support[@]webhosting.uk.com so that we can investigate further.

If you want to access emails from your webbrowser then you can use domainname. com:2095 using which you would be redirected to choose required webmail application.

Note : Webmail allows you to check your email from a web browser as opposed to a desktop mail application

nice one for the responses peeps

I'm tackling different aspects of the webhosting by doing the stuff I'm most interested in first lol So I've come back to the email to day and it's all mysteriously started to work.

Is there a way to set it so people can only use RoundCube to log onto and manage their emails?

I don't think you can setup RoundCube as your default mail client, may be possible on higher hosting plans like VPS or Dedicated servers.
We will wait for our support staff who may come-up with solution on this

Glad to hear that you've got it working now, without knowing what type of account you have, I can't really answer with a definite solution, though here are a few solutions depending on the type of account.

Edit *** *Since* you have a reseller account, you can go to the branding editor, select the style that you want to use, and then go to edit style.

To hide Roundcube, insert the following CSS:

HTML Code:

#roundcube_cell {display:none;}

To hide SquirrelMail, insert the following CSS:

HTML Code:

#sqmail_cell{display:none;}

To hide Horde, insert the following CSS:

HTML Code:

#horde_cell{display:none;}

This could be also be achieved by the support staff if they were to do these alterations to a specific branding, then change your account to match it, though that decision would inevitably be down to support.

If you are on a VPS, then you can use the Tweak Settings in WHM, and disable the webmail clients you don't wish to use.
