    Direct link to Squirrel Mail

    Is there a way to set the following up:



    so that it goes directly to squirrelmail.

    I don't want horde I just need an easy link to squirrelmail for my users.


    Thanks

    Webmail

    Got it fixed based on an old post I found.

    However, now it would be nice to have it go directy to the same thing if they screwed up the password. Now it goes to the cpanel horde/squirrelmail selection.

      What did you end up using exactly?

      I don't think it's possible for you to bypass the problem with the incorrect login but I haven't gone through it in detail. The other solution would be to install your own copy of Squirrelmail locally on the subdomain.

        I had squirrelmail installed on my own domain, then used redirects to send it to the login page on email.mydomain.com. (granted after the cp24 move it no longer works, need to reinstall it I believe, maybe whenever power comes back up....)

        Also you can redirect domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php to the subdomain you want, except it won't show your own pretty squirrelmail login page.

          I have the following in the .htaccess page for the webmail.domain.com directory:

          RewriteEngine On
          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail\.domain\.com$

          RewriteRule ^$http://www.domain.com:2095/3rdparty/.../src/login.php [L]

          The full URL is not showing up like it should..But you get the idea....

          If the password is wrong it just keeps asking for it again....

          Like I said ... Got it from an old post on the forums...Seems to work ok...

          The only thing is when the logout it goes to a generic screen asking for them to login again. I believe from there if they login wrong it goes to the odd ball login...

            Unfortunately there's no way to get around the logout that you are experiencing unless you install your own version of Squirrelmail. It's just part of the way that cPanel works and the webmail scripts are server-wide.

              Kinda of thought that....

              I went ahead and installed SM in the webmail subdomain folder.. Seems to work fine... The only thing is the customer will have to eat the diskspace for preferences .. Not a big deal....

                You can install Squirrelmail on one of your domains and have your customers use it from there.
