WebMail Agent: Interface

Provide the WebMail client interface settings > click Apply to save the settings > restart the WebMail Agent so the WebMail client functions as configured.

Messages per Page
Specify the number of messages to display on the WebMail client Message List page.

Default Language
Select the default language for the WebMail interface.

Password
Decide whether or not you want users to be able to change their own passwords.

Allow Change
Select Allow Change if you want users to be able to change their own passwords. Because NIMS is completely integrated with NDS, the WebMail client password is the same as the user's NetWare login password. Therefore, selecting this option on the WebMail Agent's Interface page actually gives your users rights to their NetWare login password through WebMail, regardless of whether they have rights to the actual password property in their NDS User object.

Require SSL
Select Require SSL if you want the WebMail Agent to require an SSL connection with the WebMail client before users can change their passwords.

User Configuration
Decide which options in WebMail Preferences you want users to be able to configure.

Enabled
Select the configurable WebMail features that you want users to be able to configure for themselves. By default, all configurable features are selected and therefore configurable by users.

Only Configuration
Select Only Configuration if users are not using the WebMail client for sending and receiving messages but you still want them to be able to configure NIMS features like automatic reply and forwarding using the WebMail Preferences page. In addition, when you terminate user accounts, you can select Only Configuration to keep the terminated users from retrieving messages from your server, but still allow them to set up forwarding functions that will forward their messages to their new email accounts.

Use Reply-To as From Address
Places the user's Reply To address in the From field of messages. This option is only valid when a user defines a Reply-To address in the WebMail client Preferences. If Use Reply-To as From Address is not selected here under User Configuration, the user's From field will display their user_name@official_domain.

Hide Compose
Select Hide Compose if you do not want users to be able to send messages from WebMail.

Busy Redirection
When the WebMail Agent is extremely busy, it can redirect WebMail access requests to another WebMail agent.

Enabled
Select Enabled to turn on redirection.

URL
Specify the URL of another server where a WebMail Agent is running, for example, http://123.456.78.90. If the WebMail Agent on that server is running on a port other than the default port of 80, supply the port number as well, for example, http://123.456.78.90:88. If you chain your WebMail Agents into a circle, WebMail access requests are redirected until an available WebMail Agent is discovered.
