To start, create a DNS A record pointing to the @Mail server IP address, like this:

If you're worried about the IP address ever changing, you could instead make it a CNAME record that points to "webmail.hsphere.cc".
From there, you just need your login page, though it sounds like you may already be okay in this department. Here's a stripped down version of mine though:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>YourDomain.com WebMail</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">       
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="http://webmail.yourdomain.com/atmail.pl" method="post" name="loginPage" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="MailType" value="imap">
<input type="hidden" name="MailServer" value="mail.yourdomain.com">
<input type="hidden" name="pop3host" value="yourdomain.com">
<br>
E-Mail Name: <INPUT name="username" value=""> @ YourDomain.com<br>
<br>
Password: <INPUT name="password" type="password"><br>
<br>
Interface: <select name="LoginType">
<option value="simple">Simple (Any browser)</option>
<option value="blue_pane">Professional (IE5+ NS6+)</option>
<option value="xp">Advanced (IE6+)</option>
</select><br>
<br>
Language: <select name="Language">
<option value="" selected>Default</option> 
<option value="arabic">Arabic</option>
<option value="chinese">Chinese</option>
<option value="english">English</option>
<option value="espanol">Espanol</option>
<option value="french">French</option>
<option value="german">German</option>
<option value="greek">Greek</option>
<option value="italiano">Italiano</option>
<option value="portuguese">Portuguese</option>
</select><br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Login" value="Login"><br>
<br>
</FORM>
<a href="http://cp.yourdomain.com:8080/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP?action=change_mbox_password">Change your password</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Just change all of the "yourdomain.com"'s to whatever domain you want this to work with. If you want to make the form even more simple for users, or if you want to force them into certain features, you can remove either of the <select...> sections and replace them appropriately as follows:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="LoginType" value="blue_pane">
<input type="hidden" name="Language" value="english">

This could be useful, for example, if you know that only English-speaking people with relatively up-to-date browsers will be logging in.
You could also add "selected" to the appropriate <option> tags to define default/preferred settings without actually forcing them upon users.
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me if you have any trouble or other questions though. Best of luck!

I am becoming crazyyy

I am not a total newbie with html and php, ... but i dont know why NONE of my custom forms works.

Is anyone still getting their custom forms working?

The original post by Curt was from before tha last update of @Mail. Some of the option values changed. for Example, LoginType now needs to be
<option value="simple" selected>Simple (Any browser)</option>
<option value="xp">Advanced (IE6+)</option>
<option value="xul">Advanced (FireFox/Mozilla 1.0+)</option>

I didn't check all the code, but the url I wind up redirecting to looks like this...
http://webmail.hsphere.cc/atmail.pl&...&MailType=pop3

MailType is supposed to be either imap or pop3 (case counts). If you pick imap, I think you may need to have at least one imap directory for the account.

Why are these threads in chit chat? Shouldn't this be in dev? I know it is old.
