Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to configure the default settings for the webmail client such than whenever a new mailbox is created on one of the domains in the Post Office is starts out with these settings
Specifically - I would like to make the default landing page the Inboxc (rather than the Overview) and the defaul content type to Rich Text (rather than plain text)
I can go and edit these settings manually after creating a mailbox, but it's easy to forget (and I want these defaults for all mailboxes)
Are these defaults lurking in aconfig file somewhere I can alter them?
Cheers,
Tim

Re: Configure the default webmail settings for new mailbox
Here is a method for creating a default Post Office or Mailbox and have the same settings applied to all new Post Offices/Mailboxes. These steps will not work when using a database backend store as the files are not looked at when creating a new container.
The following steps will allow you to create a Post Office or Mailbox Configuration that is applied to all new post offices or mailboxes.
For Post Office
Create a new Post Office called test.com and change all the default settings for this test post office that you want for any new one.
Then copy/rename the following file to it's parent directory of the second location;
Program Files\MailEnable\Config\Postoffices\test.com\postoffice.sys
TO
Program Files\MailEnable\Config\Postoffices\postoffice.sys
Doing this will mean that any post office configuration setting that is stored in the sys file will be used for the defaults of any newly created post office.
For Mailbox
Create a new mailbox called test and change all the default settings for this test mailbox that you want for any new mailbox.
Then copy/rename the following file to it's parent directory of the second location;
Program Files\MailEnable\Config\Postoffices\[Post Office Name]\Mailboxes\test.sys
TO
Program Files\MailEnable\Config\Postoffices\[Post Office Name]\mailbox.sys
Doing this will mean that any mailbox configuration setting that is stored in the sys file will be used for the defaults of any newly created mailbox.
If you need to change the current configuration for post offices already created then the following command line tool can help;

Re: Configure the default webmail settings for new mailbox
Hello,
I want to use the command line utility so that to set a time zone for all mailboxes. The time zone is GTB Standard Time. However if I use the command "mesocu mailbox domain/*/* TimeZone GTB Standard Time" the result is that in the .sys files there is a new entry as "TimeZone=GTB". That means that everything after the space is omitted. I have tried every possible character I could think of instead of space, with no luck. So, my question is, what is the correct syntax of the command in order to have the correct entry in the .sys files?
Thank you in advance
Andreas
