How to login webmail directly without acessing cPanel?
Written by Jahangir on November 7, 2008 – 5:35 am -How to login direct using “webmail.domain.com” in to Squirrelmail or Horde of any account?
First you need to create a subdomain that you want to redirect to your preferred Webmail client [Squirrelmail /Horde].
Following are the steps to create subdomain.
1. Login in to your cPanel interface.
2. Select the Subdomain option, and create the subdomain. (For eg: webmail.domain.com)
3. Once it has been created, go to the File Manager option of the cPanel.
4. Change path to “public_html” by selecting the folder image beside the text “public_html”
5. Now change the path to folder that was create by your subdomain. (as per our example it would be the “ebmail” folder)
6. Once inside this directory webmail you will see “.htaccess” file, if it’s not there then you need to create it manually.
* If it is not there then create new using below steps : (if it already exists proceed to step 10)
7. Create it [.htaccess] by selecting the “Create New File” option.
8. A menu appears in the top right corner of the File Manager interface. Choose “Text Document” and name it “.htaccess” [without quotes]
9. Now refresh File Manager and you will then see your new file [.htaccess] in the listing of that directory.
10. Click on the text title for the .htaccess file on the left side of the screen and a menu appears in the top right of the screen.
11. Choose the “Edit File” option, a new window opens.
12. Add the following lines:
If You Want To Redirect “webmail.domain.com” to the Squirrel Mail Client
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail.domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.webmail.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php$1 [R=301,L]
If You Want To Redirect “webmail.domain.com”to the Horde Webmail Client
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail.domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.webmail.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com:2095/horde/$1 [R=301,L][/QUOTE]
NOTE :- replace “domain.com” above with your actual domain name.
Enjoy Direct Webmail Client Login.

Every time i want to access my emails through c panel, it has changed and i then go through all the usernames i can think of and passwords, what the —- is going on.
Not only did my site come down 4 times last month, when it came back up it had info from 2006 not 2009 update and a client allerted me.
Not happy will look into an alternative.

We are looking into actually changing the behavior of /webmail, seems no solution really exists that is published.
We actually want to run our own custom web based email solution using /webmail, on a VPS server that has whm/cpanel enabled. We have access to root… so theoretically we should have no trouble disabling this redirect for a single domain. However, no solution was found.
This “solution” isn’t really a solution for us, unless we add another cert and IP for webmail.commnetivity.com.
Any ideas? We’re interested. I’ll see updates to this page.

Problem: I am unable to access the original aol home page. I’ve tried every avenue I know of & cannot find it. I don’t want to use the new format because it simply is not as useful and logical as the original format. Please advise with a phone number to call a technician that can return me to the original myaol.com format.
Thanks.

Okay, so this is an update. I was very new to cPanel and was not aware that there is an entry in the apache config for ServerAlias for /webmail. However, i have not figured a way to disable that redirection per virtual host container.. but hey, just wanted to point that out to those who need to remove or modify that.
Also, cPanel modifies the apache config, potentially overwriting changes you make directly to the config.
