This screen designates the default settings for the Domain Manager's Webmail Settings screen. When a user signs in to Webmail, these options govern how various Webmail features initially work for that user. Many of these settings can then be customized by the user via the Options pages within Webmail.

Default Webmail Settings

Language

Use the drop-down list box to choose the default language in which the Webmail interface will appear when your users first sign in to the selected domain. Users can change their personal language setting on the Webmail Sign-in page, and through an option in Options » Personalize within Webmail.

Theme

Use this drop-down list box to designate the default Webmail theme to used for users whenever they sign in for the first time. The users can personalize the theme setting from Options » Personalize within Webmail.

Date format

Use this text box to designate how dates will be formatted within Webmail. Click the Macros button to display a list of macro codes that can be used in this text box. You can use the following macros in this control:

%A — Full weekday name

%B — Full month name

%d — Day of month (displays as "01-31")

%m — Month (displays as "01-12")

%y — 2-digit year

%Y — 4-digit year

For example, "%m/%d/%Y" might be displayed in Webmail as "12/25/2011".

Macros

Click this button to display the list of macro codes that can be used in the Date format.

Send read confirmations?

This option governs how Webmail will respond to incoming messages that contain a request for read confirmation.

always

If this option is selected, MDaemon will send a notification to the sender indicating that the message was read. The Webmail user who received the message will not see any indication that the read confirmation was requested or responded to.

never

Choose this option if you want Webmail to ignore read confirmation requests.

prompt

Select this option if you wish to ask Webmail users whether or not to send a read confirmation each time a message is opened that requests it.

Display time using AM/PM

Click this option if you want a 12-hour clock with AM/PM to be used within Webmail for times displayed. Clear the check box if you want to use a 24-hour clock. Individual users can modify this setting via the "Display my hours in an AM/PM format" option located on the Options » Calendar page within Webmail.

Empty trash on exit

This option causes the user's trash to be emptied when he or she signs out from Webmail. Individual users can modify this setting from the Options » Personalize page within Webmail.

Use advanced compose

Check this box if you want users to see the Advanced Compose screen in Webmail rather than the normal Compose screen by default. Individual users can modify this setting from Options » Compose within Webmail.

Save messages to 'Sent' folder

Click this option if you want a copy of each message that you send to be saved in your mailbox's Sent folder. Individual users can modify this setting from the Options » Compose page within Webmail.

Block HTML images

Enable this check box if you wish to prevent remote images from being displayed automatically when viewing HTML email messages in Webmail. In order to view the images the user must click the bar that appears above the message in the browser window. This is a spam prevention feature, because many spam messages contain images with special URLs that identify the email address of the user who viewed the images, thus confirming to the spammer that it is a valid, working address. This option is enabled by default.

Compose in new browser window

Check this box if you want a separate browser window to open for composing messages instead of simply switching the main window to the compose screen. Clear the box if you do not want separate windows to open. Individual users can modify this setting from the Options » Compose page within Webmail.

Use HTML editor when composing new messages

Check this box if you want users to see the HTML compose editor by default in Webmail. They can control this setting for themselves from Options » Compose within Webmail.

Enable password recovery

If enabled, users who have permission to edit their password will be able to enter an alternate email address in Webmail, which can be sent a link to reset their password if they forget it. To set up this feature, users must enter both the password recovery email address and their current password in Webmail on the Options » Personalize page. Once set, if the user attempts to log in to Webmail with an incorrect password a "forgot password?" link will appear. This link takes them to a page that asks them to confirm their password recovery email address. If entered correctly, an email will be sent with a link to a change password page. This feature is disabled by default.

You can enable or disable this option on a per-user basis by adding the following key to a Webmail user's user.ini file (e.g. \Users\example.com\frank\WC\user.ini):

[User]

EnablePasswordRecovery=Yes (or "=No" to disable the option for the user)

Enable Remember Me

Check this box if you want there to be a Remember Me checkbox on the MDaemon Webmail sign-in page when users connect via the https port. If users check this box at sign-in, their credentials will be remembered for that device. Then any time they use that device to connect to Webmail in the future they will be signed in automatically, until such time that they manually sign out of their account or their Remember Me token expires.

By default, user credentials are remembered for a maximum of 30 days before the user is forced to sign in again. If you wish to increase the expiration time then you can do so by changing the value of the Expire Remember Me tokens after this many days option in the MDaemon Remote Administration (MDRA) web-interface. You can also change it by editing the RememberUserExpiration=30 key in the [Default:Settings] section of the Domains.ini file, located in the \MDaemon\WorldClient\ folder. The expiration value can be set to a maximum of 365 days. Note: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) has its own Remember Me expiration key (TwoFactorAuthRememberUserExpiration=30), located in the [Default:Settings] section of the Domains.ini file, located in the \MDaemon\WorldClient\ folder. Therefore 2FA will again be required at sign-in when the 2FA Remember Me token expires, even if the regular token is still valid.

The Remember Me option is disabled by default and applies to all of your domains. If you wish to override this setting for specific domains then use the Remember Me setting located on the Domain Manager's Webmail screen.

Message listing shows this many messages per page

This is the number of messages that will be listed on each page of the Message Listing for each of your mail folders. If a folder contains more than this number of messages then there will be controls above and below the listing that will allow you to move to the other pages. Individual users can modify this setting from Options » Personalize within WorldClient.

Message listing refresh frequency (in minutes)

This is the number of minutes that Webmail will wait before automatically refreshing the Message Listing. Individual users can modify this setting from Options » Personalize within Webmail.

Login failure 'Help' text (can contain HTML code)

You can use this option to specify a sentence of text (either plain text or HTML) to display on the Webmail sign-in page when a user encounters a problem signing in. The text is displayed below the following default text: "Incorrect Logon, please try again. If you need assistance please contact your email administrator." This text could be used to direct users to a page or contact info for help regarding signing in to Webmail.

Customizing Standard Webmail Features

There are various standard Webmail features that you can customize by editing certain files in the MDaemon\WorldClient\ folder:

Categories

Webmail supports categories for email in the LookOut and WorldClient themes. Users can add the Categories column to the message list by going to "Options » Columns" and checking "Categories" in the Message List section. To select categories for one or multiple messages, select the messages and right-click one of them. Use the context menu to set the category.

•Administrators can create custom categories. There are two files for this purpose: DomainCategories.json and PersonalCategories.json.

•Domain Categories are enabled globally by default. To disable them open MDaemon\WorldClient\Domains.ini, and in the [Default:Settings] section change the value of "DomainCategoriesEnabled=" from "Yes" to "No".

•Users are able to add and edit their own categories by default. If you wish to disable this option, you can do so per user or globally by changing the value of "CanEditPersonalCategories=" from "Yes" to "No". The user option is located in the [User] section of the User.ini file and the global option is in the Domains.ini file under the [Default:UserDefaults] section.

•If Domain Categories are enabled, and a user is not allowed to edit personal categories, the user will only see the categories listed in DomainCategories.json.

•If Domain Categories are disabled, and a user is not allowed to edit personal categories, the user will see the categories listed in PersonalCategories.json.

•The file CustomCategoriesTranslations.json is used to support your custom category names in multiple languages. Add any necessary custom category translatations to that file to make it possible for Webmail to recognize a category saved to an event, note, or task in one language as the equivalent category in another language.

For more detailed information relating to the files mentioned here, see: MDaemon\WorldClient\CustomCategories.txt.

White and Black Lists

You can hide the White List and Black List folders for Webmail users by default. To do so, open MDaemon\WorldClient\Domains.ini, and under [Default:UserDefaults] change the value of "HideWhiteListFolder=" or "HideBlackListFolder=" from "No" to "Yes". You can hide or show these folders for specific users by editing those same keys in the User.ini file under the [User] section.
