MailGate Support Issues
Q. How do I use IlohaMail (Webmail) with MailGate?
A. The Open Source IlohaMail Webmail package can be used with MailGate, via the free Remote Admin Extension.
Installing IlohaMail
We have found IlohaMail to be a full-functioning Webmail package that is compatible with MailGate.
Download the zip file 'IlohaMail-0.8.14-rc3.zip' here.
Instructions for installing this can be found below -- assuming that you have already installed the Remote Admin Extension.
- Double-click on the Remote Admin icon, on the main MailGate window.
- Click on the 'Stop' button on the 'Web Admin' tab.
- Go to 'C:\Program Files\Mailgate\mgwebadm\webmail'.
- Rename 'index.php' to 'OLDindex.php'.
- Unzip the IlohaMail zip file contents to a temporary directory on the machine MailGate is running on.
- Open up the directory the zip file is unpacked to (e.g. 'IlohaMail-0.8.14-rc3').
- Double-click on the 'IlohaMail' directory, and copy the contents of this directory to the 'C:\Program Files\Mailgate\mgwebadm\webmail' directory.
- Double-click on the Remote Admin icon, on the main MailGate window.
- Click on the 'Start' button on the 'Web Admin' tab.
Configuring IlohaMail to work with MailGate
- Go to the 'C:\Program Files\Mailgate\mgwebadm\webmail\source' directory, and edit the file 'compose2.php'.
Search for the text 'sent = false' within the file. It should appear as so:
$sent = false;
if (!empty($SMTP_SERVER)){
Add a line just after '$sent = false;', so that it looks like this:
$sent = false;
ini_set("sendmail_from",$from_addr);
if (!empty($SMTP_SERVER)){
Save the file.
- Go to the 'C:\Program Files\Mailgate\mgwebadm\webmail\conf' directory, and edit the file 'login.php'.
Find the following line:
// default. index.php will display an empty text box
$default_host = "";
Enter the IP address of the machine MailGate is running on as follows (our example is 192.168.0.1):
// default. index.php will display an empty text box
$default_host = "192.168.0.1";
Also, find and change the following lines:
$default_port = 110;
$default_lang = "eng_GB/";
Logging into Webmail
- Access the Web Admin menu as usual (e.g. http://192.168.0.1:8008/ -- replacing '192.168.0.1' with the IP address of the machine MailGate is running on).
- Click on 'MailGate WebMail'.
- Enter your mailbox username and password, then click the 'Login' button.
- Under 'Preferences', select the 'Identities' menu item.
- Type in your name, e-mail address, and any other fields here.
- Check the 'Set to default' box, and click 'Add'.
You can now use the Webmail facility.
