cPanel's webmail requires that IMAP be enabled

Howdy,

There are ways to point each webmail app over tho imaps and turn imap off.

Thanks!

 

Sure

First run /scripts/makecpphp you're going to need some SSL in your PHP Kool-Aid.

For SquirrelMail

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/squirrelmail/configure

Option 1, Option 2, Option A, Option 5, Change the port to 993, Option 7, Switch to YES, Save and Quit

I will research the others and update.

Thanks!

 

For Horde:

Edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php and change the port and protocol values as described here:

Wiki :: FAQ/Admin/Prerequisites

For Roundcube:

Edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php, and edit the following line:

Code:

$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'localhost';

This is explained here:

Howto_Config – Roundcube Webmail

Note that edits to the SquirrelMail, Roundcube and Horde configuration files can be overwritten when cPanel updates. To work around this, once you get everything working as you want, copy the files you have edited to another location, and create a /scripts/postupcp script that will copy the files back to their original locations. That way your custom edited files will still be present after each cPanel update.

 

For the /scripts/postupcp script in case you have any trouble, here's how you could do that part:

Code:

cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php  /root/servers.php
cp /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php /root/main.inc.php

Code:

touch /scripts/postupcp
chmod +x /scripts/postupcp

After that, run the following to place the copy commands into that script:

Code:

echo -e '#!/bin/bash\ncp /root/servers.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/imp/config/servers.php\ncp /root/main.inc.php /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/main.inc.php' > /scripts/postupcp

Thanks!
