Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for all your supports to me. Hmail forum has always been a friendly forum, and has given me lots of help in the past up until now. I sincerely hope that you all will keep helping me in the future. ^^
I only want to ask for opinions, though, for this thread. Maybe I'll ask a tech support but it's not now.
The previous email server software was Mdaemon, but since it's a shareware, and my boss didn't want to give me extra budget to be spent for email server, I had to switch over to hmail. Overal, hmail's performance's great. Much better than mdaemon...
However, as it stands, it lacks support for webmail, rite? Compared to Mdaemon, hmail doesn't stand a chance on this area. I have a plan to add webmail functionality to hmail, using squirrel. But I really don't have any knowledge on complex setup for database and web server. I can use IIS and Access fairly well, though.
I have 35 clients on my LAN. All of them are using Outlook to send and retrieve emails from Hmail. 97 % of them are NOT mobile user.
My question is: Is it good enough to use IIS for hmailserver? I am rather familiar with it and really clueless for XAMPP. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Webmail general question
Re: Webmail general question
hMailServer doesn't need IIS (or Apache)
SquirrelMail can work with IIS (or Apache, or any other web server that supports PHP)
You need a working PHP first.
You also need PERL installed to use the auto-config tools included with SquirrelMail. I didn't use this, I configured my SquirrelMail manually.
You could also look at other webmail solutions, including roundcube or the OSAN listed here http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewto ... f=9&t=8089
Or for a few users, you could get them to use firefox and a firefox extension that will check IMAP mail boxes.

Re: Webmail general question
Umm.... What's that Firefox extension name that can be used to check IMAP folder?
Re: Webmail general question
There are a few.
Searching Addons for IMAP will list them.
Simple Mail is one - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5593
