Web Mail client setup for postfix server

Question

I have an Ubuntu server with postfix installed.

How can I set up a simple webmail package, so I can send email from a web interface to and from the local accounts and gmail?

Solution 1

A simple solution is squirrel mail:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squirrelmail

Certainly not the best web mail client ever, but easy to set up and reliable. A more fance client is roundcube. The roundcube package is included in the multiverse repository.

Both solutions need an IMAP mail delivery agent. So you might need the dovecot-postfix package or something similar.

Solution 2

a very perfect installation guide is here .

and if evrything worked fine use this for webmail

Have good time with these long configurations

i've installed roundcube yesterday.. it looks good.. but i coulnt receive mail from other domains... should i open separate port for these incoming mails..

receiving mails is not a question of roundcube but of postfix. For receiving Mails you need a MX record entry in your DNS-entry. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mx_record to find out what the XM record is. Without the MX record the sending mail server will not know where to route the mail to.

i've set my MX record same as A. is that wrong..?

As much as I agree to the post and voted I think it still needs more explanations that just "a very perfect installation guide is here .".
