Installing NeoMail

  1. Make sure the Perl ValueApp is installed.

     
  2. Go to your VDS Manager (http://yourdomain.com/manager/), click on ValueApps, and click on the Collaboration tab.

     
  3. Under the Available ValueApps list, click the Neomail ValueApp icon.

     
  4. Agree to the license.

     
  5. Enter the following information:

    Language - Select a language.

    Max Address Book Size - This is the maximum size (In KB) that a user's address book can grow to. This prevents a user from using too much of your hard drive space.
    Recommended - 10000

    Folder Quota - Once a user's saved email messages meet or exceed this size (in KB), no future messages will be able to be sent to any folder other than "TRASH", where they will be immediately deleted, until space is freed.
    Recommended - 10000

    Attachment Limit - This is the limit on the size of attachments (in MB). Large attachments can significantly drain a server's resources during the encoding process.
    Recommended - 4

     
    This affects outgoing attachment size only and will not prevent users from receiving messages with large attachments.

    Session Timeout - This indicates how much time (in Minutes) can pass before a session is considered timed out and the user needs to log in again. Make sure this is big enough that a user typing a long message won't get logged out automatically while typing.
    Recommended - 30

    Number of Headers - This indicates the maximum number of headers to display to a user at a time. Keep this number reasonable to ensure fast load times for slow connection users.
    Recommended - 10

     
  6. Click the Next button.

     
  7. Click the Finish button.
