Configuring Mail Applications 

The basic settings for these should be:

Mail Server: YourDomain.com or mail.YourDomain.com

SMTP: YourDomain.com or mail.YourDomain.com

Username:

Password:

Troubleshooting:

If these settings do not work for you, then the ISP you use to connect to the Internet has most likely blocked Port 25, so you cannot use your own mail server for OUTGOING mail (SMTP) while connected via their network. Some of the ISPs who do this are Earthlink/Mindspring, AOL, USA-Starnet, and MSN. Microsoft, for example, gives an explanation (as regards to their own blocking) and solution:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q302339

The solution is to use your ISP's SMTP settings for outgoing mail (in the case of MSN this is 'smtp.email.msn.com'). BUT MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR DOMAIN AS THE MAIL SERVER FOR INCOMING MAIL!

Horde Email Login 

Log on to: http://webmail.YourDomain.com

For instance we use webmail.invision-gaming.co.uk for our webmail.

Simply insert 'webmail.' before your domain name when typing the URL. Log on using the particular username and password for the email account you want to check. You can choose the language of your interface.

Setting Up Configuring Email 

1. Log in to your account's control panel.

2. Click the 'MAIL' tab.

3. Type the username for this e-mail account in the 'Mailname:' field; click 'ADD' tab.

4. Check 'Mailbox' and enter the password for this e-mail account in both fields.

Decide if you want to limit the space for this e-mail account (taken from

the space of your main account).

For other options, autoresponders etc., please read the Guide to the Plesk Control Panel.

Click 'UPDATE' (near bottom) tab.

You can add forwarder etc. later -- just click on your e-mail username after havingclicked on the 'MAIL' tab first.

User Directory 

All of your web sites files need to go into the /httpdocs directory.

(with exception of secure files which go into the secure directory)

The absolute path (if ever needed) is:

/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/httpdocs

(This is equivalent to the "public_html" folder on many other servers.)

Your Website's CGI scripts (if any) go into the cgi-bin folder.

The absolute path is:

/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/cgi-bin

Run Perl Scripts 

Most Important Path Info (you need this if installing CGI and other scripts):

What is the path to Perl?

/usr/bin/perl

In most CGI scripts the standard path line is therefore: #!/usr/bin/perl

And the path(s) to sendmail?

/usr/lib/sendmail

/usr/sbin/sendmail
