Hi, I was wondering where is the option to make autoresponder available for users, i can not see it anywhere within the webmail / settings, or the adminpanel.. I read somewhere that this feature is available, but i dont know how to enable it..
I use mysql database with vacation settings in postfixadmin db, and i would like to be able to set autorespond from the webmail if at all possible like i currently do with squirrelmail..

And is there a plugin for user password change - as in the user can do it themselfs?

Thanks for any help !!

Neither of the those features is available for standalone webmail client. Changing password or setting up vacation message requires tight integration with the particular mail server and is not available in terms of standard protocols (SMTP/IMAP/POP3).

We've recently switched to WebMail Lite from some very simple pages that I had programmed. I had an autoresponder set up, and wrote a service that runs on the pop3 server and monitors file activity in the pop3 server's mail folders. So that part is done, but might require some tweaking based on my question's answer:

Is it possible to get that Autoresponder tab which I've seen other people post about?

We're debating whether or not to get WebMail Pro, so if it is only possible with Pro, that's probably ok.

My other question is this:

In my mail pages, I had programmed the "To" button when composing an email, to bring up an address selection window like the one in Outlook Express, and it populated that with addresses retreived from a database in SQL server. Is it possible to do this with WebMail also (I realize I would have to code this myself, I just don't know if I can access the "To" button on the form)? The db connection is nice because it takes up less space as every user accesses the same data, and it is dynamic so as soon as we have a new employee and they are added to the database, they would show up in the address list.

Thanks

Autoresponder tab is available in WebMail by default but it's hidden when there's no server-side functionality active for it. You can force displaying the tab by slight modification of the source code. In WebMail Pro PHP v6, it's js/settings/user-settings-screen.js, _changeAccountId function, line ~298:

Code:
this._allowAutoresponder = oAcctProp.allowAutoresponder;

modified as follows:
Code:
this._allowAutoresponder = true;


I think it should work in the same or similar way for other versions.

As for your other question, it is implemented already. You can either click To:/Cc:/Bcc: to get a list of contacts, or simply start typing the address. The list of suggestions is built based on 3 lists:

1. Entries added by user to their Contacts list;

2. Email addresses user has sent mail to (those addresses are not visible in Contacts screen though);

3. If Global address book is enable for particular domain or system-wide in WebMail Pro AdminPanel, suggestion list would include all the emails within domain or entirely in WebMail Pro user list.

Hope this helps!

I think that answers my questions. I downloaded the trial Pro version and there seems to be less options in the admin panels. For instance, how do I change the server addresses? The panel that is in the Lite version doesn't appear in the Pro version.

I then started looking at the MailSuite Pro product for Windows. I'm surprised that a 1000 user licence is less expensive than a 1000 user licence for WebMail Pro. Is that right? And MailSuite Pro comes WITH WebMail Pro?? So you're getting more for less?

Of course, I didn't seem to see anywhere that indicated we could modify the WebMail Pro part of it, so maybe the licence doesn't allow that, which is why it is cheaper?

So my question really is this: it seems that MailSuite Pro provides everything that WebMail Pro does, plus it includes the POP3 server, which means it can do AutoResponders (I did see that in the features), and we can still modify the source code (of the WebMail Pro component), and integrate it into our existing website (bypass the login screen), and for a 1000 user licence (single server) the cost would be $799?

In WebMail Pro 6, a lot of things were changed. One of them is that we have moved rarely used options to the configuration file. WebMail Pro is primarily designed to work with single mail server, and it doesn't matter what domains are used as long as they're hosted with same mail server. Its connection details are specified in default domain settings, localhost by default. Of course, you can add other domains with their own incoming/outgoing mail hosts.

What you're saying about MailSuite Pro is correct, and the main reason of this is we update WebMail Pro (and its pricing grid) much more often than MailSuite Pro. It does include WebMail Pro, but that is still version 5. Due to that, chances of getting a bugfix are significantly lower compared to WebMail Pro.

You are allowed to modify the source code of web parts, in both the standalone case and bundle case. Plus, MailBee.NET Objects is used as a core of WebMail interface so you can use it to extend the out-of-box functionality and you don't need additional license for MailBee.NET Objects unless you build separate apps of course.

One more thing: WebMail Pro ASP.NET supports direct integration with hMailServer (detailed info), so you can use the latest version of WebMail Pro, you'll be able to use autoresponder and password change features.
