The GUI







Depending on how the administrator configured yawebmail, there are three possible appearances:



Configuration 1:



(free choice of SMTP-host)



Configuration 2:



(free choice of SMTP-host within the domain of the mailbox-server)



Configuration 3:



(no choice of SMTP-host (host set by administrator))

The input

SmtpServer / Port (not available in configuration 3):

Fill in the hostname and port of the SMTP-server which shall be used to process the transport of the message. In configuration 2 you are limited to chose the SMTP-subdomain-prefix (optional), the domain will be taken from your mailbox-login. If you don't know the hostname and/or port of your SMTP-server please ask your eMail-account-provider.

Auth: User / Pass:

Just in case you SMTP-server needs authorisation, fill in your username and password. Otherwise leave blank. If you're not sure try to omit this input first. In case this doesn't work for you, ask your eMail-account-provider.

"SSL"-Checkbox:

Activate this checkbox if you want to send your mail over a SSL-connection. This must be supported by the according SMTP-Server (if you're not sure about this, ask your eMail-account-provider). The default TCP-IP port for SMTP-SSL-connections is 465.

"TLS"-Checkbox:

Activate this checkbox if you want to send your mail over a TLS-connection. This must be supported by the according SMTP-Server (if you're not sure about this, ask your eMail-account-provider). The default TCP-IP port for SMTP-TLS-connections is 587.

From:

Fill in your own eMail-Address. Be aware that some SMTP-servers will check if the given eMail-Address matches to the used SMTP-Auth-user (if used). Furthermore keep an eye on typing errors. If your SMTP-server doesn't check the from-address, you will get no response-mails if you got a typo in this.

To:

Fill in the eMail-Address of the recipient. Separate multiple recipients with commas.

CC:

Fill in the eMail-Address of the carbon-copy-recipient. Separate multiple carbon-copy-recipients with commas.
