This should be an easy question but I havent been able to do it.
I want to add a link to my webpage so I can log into my roundcube email from it. Im guessing that as the mail is stored on my server it wont redirect to another site, but I dont know what command or link I need to put in my index file for my website??
At the moment I have to log into my hosting page with my server company to access my email, but Im sure there must be way to get in if I add the correct bit of code to my site?
Very grateful if someone can help
You are most likely using Roundcube as part of your hosting. you would need to ask your hosting company if their is a direct weblink you can use for that. If not, you would have to setup your own version of Roundcube on your account rather than use their internal version of it.
Thank you for that.
Where would I get my own version of it?
I did wonder why I couldnt see any database on my server space to hold the emails.
Are emails all stored in a MySQL database if I install my own copy?
Some webhost companies provide several mail clients as part of their cPanel/Plex systems which are preconfigured and ready to use. They manage them at a root level outside of your hosting area. This solves a lot of configuration issues, mail delivery etc... as it is managed by them.
If you want to use your own version, you will need to load it by downloading it or if there is some sort of package installer. You will need to setup a database for it and configure it to use the proper mail servers etc...

Roundcube is an IMAP mail client, not messages are saved on the web host. All messages live on the actual mail server.
oh, are there any email packages that host on my server and keep all the data on my server too? That way I could be sure no one else can view them?
I understand this is a roundcube forum so Im not asking you to advertise other packages, Im just asking if they all work the same way?
Thanks
In my experience, web-based clients pretty much are all IMAP. A local client (Like Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) can use POP3 and download, if the mail server you connect to supports POP.
