Many users need, and almost all users want, access to their email regardless of where they happen to be. DMailWeb allows you to offer this important service easily to ALL your users by providing a simple easy to use web interface, allowing them access to their email from anywhere, at anytime.
DMailWeb is a web to mail gateway, it gives your users/customers direct access to their new mail folder using any web browser from anywhere in the world. DMailWeb allows users to read, reply to and delete their mail, send new mail messages (with attachments) and forward messages intact to others from anywhere. A critical feature of DMailWeb is that the messages may be left available on the server. This means, for example, your users can answer their email at home or when away on a business but still download and file off messages when they return to work in their normal manner with their own client software.
How it Works
DMailWeb works by interacting with your POP server, this means you can configure it to use your current mail system in a matter of minutes. It also means that messages read via this gateway are still available to be downloaded into your user's normal email system.
DMAILWEB will work with any mail server software and is available at the following price. (Please check our prices page for full list of products and bundles and current prices.)

DMailWeb is easy to install and it takes only a few minutes to have it up and running on your site. You must install DMailWeb on your WEB server, in a directory that you have already setup on your server as containing CGI programs. You should read your server documentation if you don't currently know how to setup a cgi program, typically you would copy the files to a directory like:
SERVER_ROOT\cgi-bin\
And you also need to copy all the template files to a directory on your system, it can be anywhere as long as you define the templates variable in dmailweb.ini to point to the same directory, e.g.
On NT
mkdir \unzip # Create a temporary directory cd \unzip # cd to it dmailweb10.exe # Unzip the self extracting archive copy *.* \dmailweb # Copy the templates to destination copy dmailweb.exe \SERVER_ROOT\cgi-bin copy dmailweb.ini \SERVER_ROOT\cgi-bin
On UNIX
uncompress dmailweb10.tar.Z tar -xvf dmailweb10.tar cd dmailweb cp * /usr/web/dmailweb copy dmailweb /SERVER_ROOT/cgi-bin copy dmailweb.ini /SERVER_ROOT/cgi-bin
Now edit dmailweb.ini and define the following four things:
notepad \SERVER_ROOT\cgi-bin\dmailweb.ini
Symbol | Example | Explanation |
pophost | pop.your.domain | The name or IP number of your POP server |
templates | c:/dmailweb | The directory where you have copied the *.tpl files |
smtphost | mail.your.domain | Your local smtp host, by name or number |
domain | acme.com | Your domain, this will be used to construct email addresses |
DMailWeb is designed to allow you to customize the look as little or as much as you like. If you wish, you can tailor the template files to give DMailWeb the same look and feel as your own web pages. It is assumed you know how to edit raw HTML files, in addition there are some variables that you can use. The list of variables depends on which page DMailWeb is showing. For example the %%h_subject%% variable only works when displaying an item, or directory listing.
Here is a list of the template files, and a brief description of each.
File Name | Description |
login.tpl | The first page shown when dmailweb is run, this handles the user login |
list.tpl | A list of new mail messages |
item.tpl | A single mail item |
send.tpl | Sending a new mail messages |
sent.tpl | Confirmation message when a message has been sent |
forward.tpl | Forwarding one or more messages |
error.tpl | Used to display any error messages |
Here is a list of some of the variables that you can use in these templates
Variable | Description | Typicall in |
%%begin_list%% | Starts list of new mail messages | list.tpl |
%%end_list%% | Ends list of new items | list.tpl |
%%ifdef%%var%% | Conditional inclusion if variable is defined | |
%%b_follow%% | Goes to form for posting followup messages | item.tpl |
%%b_item%% | Show a specific mail message | list.tpl |
%%b_next%% | Next mail message | item.tpl |

This error occurs on IE3 due to a fault in the templates originally provided with DMailWeb. Go thru all your template files and move the <form...> line BELOW the <body...> line, this will fix it.
This was a fault in the early versions of DMailWeb, upgrade to the latest one on our site and it will fix this error.
