The Amahi Mail System is still under development. It allows you to send/receive mail from your HDA. There are some quirks depending on if you have a registered domain with a paid service provider. These will be elaborated on more at a later time.

Script download links:

32-bit: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1380867/32bit-virtual-mail-1.2.tar.gz<br />
64-bit: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1380867/64bit-virtual-mail-1.2.tar.gz<br />

Here's the sequence of events to get the virtual email server up and running:
# Create a web app in Amahi named webmail.
# Open a terminal window, become '''root''', and navigate to <u>/var/hda/web-apps/webmail</u> directory.
# Download the file to this directory and extract it into the <u>html</u> directory of webmail.
# From the <u>html</u> directory, run the '''host-update-virtual-mail-1.2.sh''' script. This will check your hostname. If it is not correct, you will be given an opportunity to change it.
# Once it completes, run the '''install-virtual-mail-1.2.sh''' script. The dependencies will be first and you must answer the prompt to continue.
# Watch the script for errors. At 2 points, you will have to provide responses for the script to finish successfully.
# At the first prompt for testing the pop3 server, just type quit.
# The second prompt you need to type ehlo localhost, then if everything appears ok then type quit.
# Once the script is complete, note the user name and password.
# Navigate to <u>http://webmail</u> and enter your login credentials.
# To uninstall, run the '''uninstall-virtual-mail-1.2.sh''' script.
You should now be in your account via webmail. There will be 2 messages, one is a welcome and the other is a SPAM test to show it's working. I forgot to mention that you can access the mail server from any email client as well within your network. Unfortunately, there is currently no front-end for administering accounts, so you will have to modify the database via phpMyAdmin or Adminer.
NOTE: These scripts were adapted from a tutorial authored by Falko Timme at [http://howtoforge.net/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-fedora-10 http://howtoforge.net/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-fedora-10].
