Thought you was going to post some really juicy tidbit on how to default to one client without the other two showing up.

Once you set a preferred client, you won't see the selection page with the other two. I'm not sure what else you want.

Alan, I'm afraid that's not technically true.

When enabling AutoLoad for a webmail client, you need to set the time during which you are able to stop the AutoLoad (by clicking the 'Stop' button) to choose another client and whatnot.





Even setting this to '1' doesn't prevent the selection page from appearing.

But you can access webmail clients by using their corresponding direct links, i.e.:

Horde: http://domain.com:2095/horde/
RoundCube: http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/roundcube/
SquirrelMail: http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php

Where 'domain.com' is your domain name (or the server's hostname/IP address).

Oh good grief, I hate when cPanel changes how things work without letting us know ;(

I'll update the article.

Thanks Vitalij!

Horde: http://domain.com:2095/horde/
RoundCube: http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/roundcube/
SquirrelMail: http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php

Well, this is pretty cool, except it don't work when you're doing a redirection to the selected client, ie:
http://webmain.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com:2095/3rdparty/roundcube/
Will default to http://domain.com:2095/

It does work as a bookmark however.

This can be done. I've tested it. I'm writing up a blog article documenting the steps to do this, which will be posted in the next few days.

This works. I've written a blog article about it. See this forum post for the link: http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/forum/...eb-access.html
