[Dovecot] [OT] dovecot appliance
Hello all.
I am reading the mailinglist for a long time now, and there was a thread i believe called webgui or something. In this thread there was a company i believe german, that was working on a dovecot appliance with a web based gui to administrate a dovecot mail server.
The problem is i did not save the URL of that company. Does anyone know which company make the appliance.
Or does anyone knows a good webbased tool for dovecot. The reason is that in a windows environment, with only a few FreeBSD machine's , my collega's get frustrated if they can not use a mouse. They even want a mouse on there smartphone's :D
I am doing the administration of the mail server, but when i am not there, it would be nice if they can do things them selves.
thanks for your time.
regards, Johan Hendriks
Hi,
Or does anyone knows a good webbased tool for dovecot.
Actually, you may use Dovecot with any existing courier-Mailserver-GUI.
E.g., there is Postfixadmin:
http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/
You "only" have to setup Dovecot to use the SQL-schemes defined by the GUI, which is actually not too hard.

Meaning... you aren't exactly administering 'dovecot', you're administering the user database - then you simply configure dovecot (and whatever else you want) to use the MySQL based user database.

Hi Johan,
Don't know of a german company, but I can tell you that I am more than happy with Horde :
http://www.horde.org/webmail http://www.horde.org/horde
There's lots of configurable stuff there and you can do whatever you want with it, as long as you have LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP), you can use any SMTP/IMAP combo you like. For IMAP I use dovecot (naturally).
HTH,
Best regards,
s.

regards, Johan Hen Perhaps you could try Webmin (www.webmin.com). It has a Dovecot administration module as well.

Just get out of that laziness cocoon and install your own server:-)
There is very little to be done so a GUI is like an overkill.
