phpGroupware Tutorial: phpGroupware Applications

The most popular phpGroupWare applications

Once you login with the admin account in your PHPGroupWare web site, you can manage the script applications. First you can check and modify their configuration through the admin section.

If you want to use the e-mail application, you should configure it. The Standard e-mail settings would look like the following ones:

Enter your POP3/IMAP mail server hostname or IP address: mail.yourdomain.com
Select your mail server type: IMAP or POP3
IMAP Server Type: Cyrus or Courier
Enter your default mail domain ( From: user@domain ): emailuser@yourdomain.com
Mail server login type: standard
Enter your SMTP server hostname or IP address: mail.yourdomain.com
Enter your SMTP server port: 25

Then you can edit the custom e-mail settings

User for the SMTP authentication: emailuser@yourdomain.com
Password for the SMTP authentication: the corresponding password, which you have set during the creation of the e-mail account in cPanel->Mail->Manage/Add/Remove accounts.

Troubleshooting Tips: Please mind that you should change yourdomain.com with the actual domain, which you have used in point 4.2.2. of the installation instructions. You should also change emailuser@yourdomain.com with an existing e-mail account, which you have created through cPanel->Mail->Manage/Add/Remove accounts.
