If you use Firefox (and you should to be more secure) as your browser and use WebMail to access your email, you’ve probably been frustrated when you click on an email link on a web page and it tries to open your email client. Wouldn’t it be nice if it could open up WebMail and compose a new message to that address? With the WebmailCompose Firefox extension, you can do just that. Here’s how:
- First, download and install the extension using the link above and restart Firefox.
- Next, in Firefox choose Tools/Extensions… from the menu to bring up the Extensions window.
- Highlight the WebmailCompose extension and click the Options… button.
- If you are using our Linux hosting WebMail, choose “horde” as the Default/Left Click Service on the General tab. If you are using our Windows hosting WebMail, choose “other”.
- Click the WebMail Services tab.
- If you are using Linux WebMail, check the box next to Enable Horde and uncheck all other services . In the text entry next to Enable Horde, replace the URL there with the following:
http://webmail.adaptivehostingsolutions.com:2095/horde/imp/compose.php?
popup=0&to=^T&cc=^C&bcc=^B&msg=^M&subject=^S\
If you are using Windows WebMail, check the box next to Enable Other and uncheck all other services. In the text entry next to Enable Other, replace the URL there with the following:
http://helmmail.adaptivehostingsolutions.com/Main/frmCompose.aspx?to=^T&subject=^S - Click OK to save your changes then close the Extensions window.
Now, when you click on an email address link on a web site, a new message will be composed in WebMail. Note that you should already be logged in to WebMail for this to work effectively.
