As im hosted my website on a limited storage server i want to know, is it possible to save all mail ATTACHMENTS to a seperate(another) fileserver which will save my main server space !
I use AfterLogic WebMail script to enable my website users to logon to their email address(someone@mydomain.com)and view emails of thier email address but im running out of space because of too many attachments that comes with emails.I want to know is it possible to host those attachments on a another domain(www.mydomainfiles.com)
As we all know yahoo,google mail do that,their email attachments are downloading from another domain. ex: gmail email attachments are downloading from www.googleusercontents.com not from gmail.com !

I wonder whether you're using IMAP or POP3 there. In IMAP case, WebMail fetches data from mail server directly. As for attachments, they're stored under data/temp directory, and if you're running out of space you might want to purge the directory content from time to time. There's a sample script found at examples/clear-tmp.php, it can be used for that purpose, it takes care of outdated files only so that the files which might still be in use aren't affected.
If the above approach doesn't fully address the issue, you might want to remap data directory or its subdirectories to a different drive, transparent filesystem-level access should be provided so that web server can read/write there.
And well, you can't really compare WebMail with SaaS solutions like GMail - it's just a webmail client which is designed to suit most frequent usage scenarios. Luckily, since WebMail Lite PHP is available under APGL v3 license, you're allowed to modify the product to make it suit your specific needs.
