Chapter 5. Webmail
5.1. Overview
In this chapter, we explain how to configure and access the AXS GUARD Webmail server.
The Webmail feature is comparable to a mail client that uses the IMAP protocol (see
The difference is that an Internet browser is used to access and read your e-mails, instead of a classic e-mail
client, such as Outlook 2007. The Webmail server on the AXS GUARD listens for incoming connections to the
Internet Interface on TCP port 443 (HTTPS). The connection is encrypted, allowing users to securely access
their e-mail from virtually anywhere. The AXS GUARD can be configured to allow access to:
• Local webmail; the AXS GUARD stores the e-mails locally (see
• Back-end webmail; the e-mails are stored on a back-end server, e.g. an OWA server (see

5.2. Supported Webmail Clients
The AXS GUARD appliance offers the choice between two webmail clients:
• SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It includes built-in pure PHP support
for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for
maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure.
• Roundcube webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It
provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder
manipulation, message searching and spell checking.
