I have webmail set up on a red hat box and it is working the very best. I would like to configure my outlook to pull the email off it. But I don’t know where to point it to in regards to the URL of my server. I tried www.myserver.com/webmail but it won’t work. That URL is just my webmail login screen. What file or dir should I be pointing to?

here is the error

Task 'https://myserver.com: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error (0x80004005) : 'An unknown error has occurred. Please save any existing work and restart the program.'

you mean actually get the mail through the webmail client?! that's surely not possible, and if it is, extremely undesirable. you should just install an imap or pop3 server on your server and access it through that.

So I would need a pop3 service will I. With hotmail for example you can download you email from hotmail web site to outlook. You just have to point outlook to the web address. There is a section where you can point to another URL. I was hoping it would work for my email.

Here is what the webmail doc's say

If you intend to enable webmail, you should consider whether your users will use webmail exclusively or will use webmail part of the time (for example, when travelling) and a regular e-mail client the rest of the time. If they plan to use webmail and another client, they should make sure that the other client uses the IMAP protocol. If they use POP3, their e-mail messages will be pulled down from the server into their local e-mail client and will therefore not be visible when the user logs into webmail. If IMAP is enabled on the local client, the messages will remain on the server and will be visible both from the local client and via webmail.

well hotmail is hotmail, it's lives in a different world.

chances are that you alerady have an imap server as part of the install for this webmail you are using, they normally connect locally via imap to do it all properly

Outlook Express has an unusual way of getting mail from hotmail, using webdav I think. Don't know if it's documented outside Microsoft. Unless that's a feature of your webmail (and I don't even know what MS call this protocol) just use a POP or IMAP server to allow "real" offline mail programs to get the mail.

Yes, there can be an issue that POP clients normally delete the mail once they've received it, and it's no longer there for the webmail. Easily solved by configuring them to "leave mail on server" if that's what you really want. (Want a full mail spool?)

Thanks for the help. I gut it working.
