Hi all,
i new here, and sorry in advance for my bad english! In italy they dont teach us english very well :)
However, ive just found this beautiful open source project, and i want to use it for my business (im a freelance with multiple email addresses).
So i have my personal domain that is www.nicololazzarin.com, and i want to install RoundCube on www.nicololazzarin.com/webmail, and to leave my partners (and me) to log on the webmail and manage emails and contacts.
Now i have this issue: ive just installed RoundCube, but i dont understand how to create/add accounts. For example the first account...because after the installation i see the login page but i dont know where to find the login details!!
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
Nicolò!

RoundCube is just a mail client so you'll need to create email accounts on the mail server and then you can login with those email accounts.
-
Ive created an email account and used on the login, but it diesnt work...
How i can manage email account, contacts, and so on?
-
Make sure you have the imap server set correctly and check whether the server requires a full email address to login i.e. user@example.com
-
Considering that i have a normal shared hosting with one domain, and i want to install roundcube on a normal subdomain, how do i need to set IMAP settings?
My domain is www.nicololazzarin.com, and i see:
- default_host
- default_port
- username_domain
- auto_create_user
...i dont know how to complete them..where i find that details? And where i create the login email that you say?
Thanks a lot for understanding :)
-
Your site appears to be running on a cPanel server so the following should work:
default_host = "nicololazzarin.com"
default_port = 143
username_domain = "nicololazzarin.com"
auto_create_user = true
Create the email accounts in cPanel under email accounts.
-
Ok done.
Now i will create new email account, but which details i have to use to login on roundcube?
For example if i create info@nicololazzarin.com, will the login be username "info@nicololazzarin.com" (or only "info@")?
-
You should be able to login with just "info" as the username and use the password you created when you made the email account.
-
Ok i will try.
I have another doubt, if you want help me ;)
I understand that on roundcube there will be all email accounts that i will create on my domain (for example info@nicololazzarin.com, invoice@, staff@ and so on), but these email account will share what exactly?
I need to share some folders (with email) and the address book...there is some function or there are some plugins?
-
RoundCube does support shared IMAP folders but don't think any cPanel setup supports them so your probably out of luck there. The address book is tied to the individual accounts but you can use the Global Address Book plugin https://github.com/JohnDoh/Roundcube-Plugin-Global-Address-Book/ to have contacts shared across accounts.
-
Ok so if i need shared folders inside roundcube i have to develope it! :)
About the Address Book i will try that plugin.
And there is some global calendars plugin?
-
Now im working on installing the global address book, and on the installation guide it says:
Install
=======
* Place this plugin folder into plugins directory of Roundcube
* Add globaladdressbook to $rcmail_config['plugins'] in your Roundcube config
NB: When downloading the plugin from GitHub you will need to create a directory
called globaladdressbook and place the files in there, ignoring the root
directory in the downloaded archive.
Ive correctly renamed the folder and uplpoaded it into the server under the plugins directory of roundcube, and now i have to finish the second "*" of the guide, but on the main.inc.php file i have this code:
// ----------------------------------
// PLUGINS
// ----------------------------------
// List of active plugins (in plugins/ directory)
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array();
How i have to add "globaladdressbook" on that code?
-
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('globaladdressbook');
-
Ive just done that but i see a blank page, all white! And when i remove it and make the roundcube config file as the original, the site works again..
What is the problem?
-
Do you have skype? I need some simple things that i cant install myself, i think that we can finish everything in 5 minutes with you help :)

I can provide support over Skype but I would consider that consulting work.
-
Off course, send me your Skype id and we will consider consulting ;-)
