Title: Can I configure to access Webmail via HTTP from Internet?
Post by: kansasdragon on March 15, 2007, 09:54:45 PM

I just upgraded an SME 6.0 to SME 7.1.

This was setup previously by someone else.  The client uses a forward through his router for HTTPS to another computer in his office, and his SME 6.0 was doing webmail via HTTP.  

Can 7.1 be configured to allow this?  And if so, how do I make it happen?

Thank you.

With SME7.0 up you use the HTTPS interface to access the webmail.

Make sure you have webmail access anabled in the email configuration section.

hmm, but that does not help, Tib.  Since the HTTPS port 443 is port forwarded to another PC in the building, the SME Server never sees the HTTPS request.

That's the reason behind my question, I can't use HTTPS, they had been using HTTP in the past on their SME 6.0, and with their configuruation, cannot use HTTPS.

You may have to find out how to change the port address of the sme server for webmail then ... 7.0+ does not use http for webmail anylonger.

There is a way to do it ... maybe do a search here and find some posts .... I have seen ppl requesting this before.
