9.2. READING EMAILS
Web mail
Browse to
http://bubba/webmail/
(
http://bubba.local/webmail/
if using
Mac), and log in using your private user name and password. This
service will also be available from the outside by browsing to
‘http://mydomain.com/webmail/’.
PC Email client
To be able to read your email from home or from work, add BUBBA as
an account in your email client (i.e. Microsoft Outlook). Simply type
‘bubba’ as incoming (IMAP) server, and use your personal user name
and password. If you use the IMAP server from the outside (i.e. from
work), type your home IP address or domain name. It is common in high-
end mobile telephones to have built-in IMAP email clients. Imagine being
able to read all your email using your cell phone, wherever you are.
9.3. SENDING EMAILS
When sending email from BUBBA (for instance in the webmail), BUBBA
acts as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. It is not uncommon
that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) blocks outgoing traffic on port
25, to prevent potential viruses in your PC to send email. If this is the
case, BUBBA can’t be used as SMTP server, but your ISP probably
provides an alternative SMTP server. Check with your ISP, and update
the ‘SMTP server’ field in the web administration interface accordingly.
9.4. THE FETCHMAIL SERVICE
Fetchmail is a very convenient way to collect all your email at one place.
If you set up BUBBA to fetch your email from other external email
accounts you may have, they will be stored on BUBBA and available via
IMAP or web mail, wherever you are. Set up this service by adding a
fetchmail account under the ‘Mail’ button in the administration interface.
