Is it possible to customize webmail?

[tentimes]

Hi,

Is it possible to customize the webmail page at mail.mydomain.net? I assume ther must be a way of editing it to point to your own webmail setup?

Thanks for your help :)

if you want that directed to a different location i am sure if you open a support ticket that a hostmonster employee can redirect that to where you want. alternatively you could setup a subdomain like webmail.domain.com to point to your webmail app.

not sure if it will work or not (never tried) editing the .htaccess to redirect mail.domain.com to your webmail app might work.

It's the http access though I am talking about. mail.tentimes.org on http will use different ports and I would have thought that there was a way of customizing it yourself? Thanks for your answer btw - don't mean to be ungrateful ;)

you can just install the scripts you want to use in public_html/mail (roundcube, or whatever. even your own script if you have one) as the subdomain is already made when someone goes to mail.yourdomain.com your server looks in public_html for .htaccess for further instructions, then it looks for public_html/mail for .htaccess for further instructions, then it looks in public_html/mail/ for index.php, index.html, index.htm, default.html or default.htm if it finds one it displays its contents. if it doesnt find those files but finds the public_html/mail it will list the contents of the directory with a default Index of... page. if it doesnt find that mail directory (because the subdomain is already setup by hm) it will follow some path (i dont know where that path is stored however. perhaps in a file you dont have access to called httpd.conf) to the hm default mail subdomain.

i think i said that right. does that make sense to you?

do you need help installing something to that directory? do you have a script you wanted to use?

you can use simplescripts to install roundcube to public_html/mail if you want to take the most simple route.

if you do install roundcube and want to edit the way the pages appear, the templates to edit would be found in your public_html/mail/skins/default/templates directory (after the install is complete)
