ABOUT
POPMail is a POP3 client to send and check your mail. It's written
in PHP to make it easier to contact the server. I started this project
to send mails from a website. Because I didn't find a program that
fitted my needs, I started to write my own one.
REQUIREMENTS
You only need PHP 4.0.1 or higher and you must have access to PHP's mail function in order to send mails.
INSTALL
- Unzip popmail.zip to a temporary folder (e.g.
c:\popmail
).
- Open
config-mail.php
with your favorite editor. The following values can be changed to your needs:
- languageFile: your language (for now only English or Dutch).
- fixedServer: the mailserver you wish to connect to.
- fixedServerPort: the port that will be used to connect to the mailserver. Default is 110.
- fixedUser: the username that will be used to connect to the mailserver.
- fixedSender: if you fill this in, you don't need to fill it in every time you write a mail.
- signature: if you don't want to always write the same line at the end of each message.
- footer: what you want to be displayed below each message.
- addressbook: the path to your addressbook. This is only a blank file that will be used as base for other users addressbook.
- logout: a timer (in seconds) before the program will log you out. If left blank, the program won't log you out.
- encrypter: a string, could be anything you want and as long as you want. It's used to encrypt the addressbook.
More info is included in the file.
- Upload all files and subfolders to your server.
- CHMOD your addressbook file (the one you defined at addressbook in
config-mail.php
) to 666.
- Go to your browser and type the URL to point to index.php (e.g. http://your.domain/popmail/index.php)
