Webmail

From Linuxintro

This article shows how to set up webmail. We use the software Squirrelmail.

Download SquirrelMail from http://www.SquirrelMail.org. Unpack it:

tar xvzf squirrelmail-1.4.15.tar.gz

Configure it:

cd squirrelmail-1.4.15
./configure

Install it:

cd
mv squirrelmail* /srv/www/htdocs/mail

Configuration

Charset

Your charset is set inside Squirrelmail by your choice of language (Options->Language). If you choose Default as language, you can set your charset in config/config.php and config/config_default.php. The key is called default_charset. It can be e.g. UTF8.
