Topic: Webmail from outside the localnetwork

[PhilV]

How can I make the webmail visible from outside the local network? From outside I can reach my starter webpage, (that I believe is held in primary), but cannot access the webmail. Sorry I am a bit of a noobie to this, but am eager to learn.

Thanks,

Phil

The answer to this one is in the manual, Chapter 16 Webmail.

Log into the server-manager, and select E-mail
Then there is an option "Enable/Disable Webmail" It is highly recommended that you select the "Enabled (secure HTTPS access only)" option

Then you can log into webmail https://www.tofu-dog.com/webmail/

Of course replace 'www.tofu-dog.com' by your server name.

Ah yes, sorry, I realise now I had done this, but is there a way to make the /user-password page visible from the external network?

First get the User Manager Panel contrib.

The best way for users to access from the external network (internet) is by VPN. There are other ways but they are a lot less secure.
