Configuring Your Webmail Interface
This site uses Horde for its webmail
capability. While Horde is largely self-documenting, and has reasonable
defaults for most things, it is recommended that you make at least a
few configuration changes before you use your new account:
- If you have not already done so, log into the
Webmail interface.
- On the left of the page you will see an Options menu item.
Click on the plus to expand it if necessary.
- Configure global options:
- Click on Global Options item under Options
- Click on Personal Information
- Select Default Identity as the identity that you want
to change.
- Fill in the field shown as Your full name
- Fill in the field shown as Your From: address.
This should be of the form USERNAME@EXAMPLE.COM,
modified as appropriate.
- Click on Save Options
- Change any other global options that you wish to change, although
you may first want to familiarize yourself with the webmail interface.
- Configure your address book:
- Click on Address Book item under Options
- Click on Address Books under Display Options
- Under Choose which address books to display, click on
USERNAME's Address Book in the left column (replacing
USERNAME as appropriate) and then click on the
right-pointing hand. This should move that address book to the right
column.
- Click on Save Options
- Change any other address book options that you wish to change.
- Configure your mail reader:
- Click on the Mail item under Options
- Click on Address Books under the (third)
Other Options column.
- There is a select box containing Name and Email.
Select the fields that you want to use when expanding addresses.
- Under Choose the address book to use when adding addresses
select My Address Book.
- Click on Save Options
- Change any other mail options that you wish to change.
- Configure your mail filters.
