I have a VPS with a renowned hosting company. When I log on to cpanel, I can navigate to my VPS directories using the 'File Manager' option in cpanel. This takes me to public_html folder on my VPS, alongside it there is the 'Mail' folder. If I enter the 'Mail' folder, I can read all the emails in the different mailboxes created for employees of the firm. In this scenario, a developer in the firm can log on to the server and read emails from the other employees of the firm.
Is there a way to work around this problem?

I have a website which was hosting on a different server, including emails for that domain. For some reason I lost access to that server. The email was setup using cPanel Mail.
Now I am setting up that domain again with a newly purchased "Ultimate Hosting" from GoDaddy.
I have a backup to the "Mail" folder. I want to know how can I restore that mail folder?
Following the main folder structure of the raw folder backup I have.
enter image description here
I got this solved.. for anyone looking for similar thing, here is the solutions.
I created a new mail account in GoDaddy cPanel Mail with the same name as previous.
After that I overwrite all the raw files using FTP client.
Bang! All the email are now recovered.
Thanks
I want to transfer mail accounts and mail items of one the domains created in Plesk 12 (installed in 1st server) to Mdaemon (installed in 2nd server).
Is there any way for mail migration, please? Thanks.
If you can export the accounts in Plesk into a CSV file, you can import them into MDaemon via the Accounts menu. The next step would be to migrate the email messages. You could do this a couple of ways. You could first archive all mail from Plesk using MailStore, then grant users access to their mail archives once they are connected to MDaemon, and restore their archived messages to their MDaemon inboxes, or you could use steps described in this forum post.
I have redirected a domain from PLESK to another server (cPanel) and also I have transferred the code from PLESK TO cPanel. Now my website is running well. I have created my email on cPanel and i am using webmail to access my email account.
But want to transfer old email messages from PLESK to cPanel. I have searched and found that email messages are stored on PLESK on this location:
# /var/qmail/
Is there any way to transfer email email messages from PLESK to cPanel?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
You can fetch mail from your PLESK server and have it imported into cPanel.
Simply login to your cPanel
Access your webmail and access Horde
Once logged in, on the left hand side, click OPTIONS then Mail
On the center of the screen under “Message Options” click “Fetch Mail”
Create a new account, enter your details from your email account located on your PLESK server (for the incoming/outgoing servers, use your PLESK server hostname)
Email will then begin to be downloaded into your cPanel inbox.
That should do the trick :)
Horde doesn't have the Fetch Mail option anymore.
So, the easiest solution is manual transfer using Outlook or Thunderbird.
How to move email from any server into cPanel use an IMAP client like Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird?
First, configure each new email account on cPanel (including any sub-folders). Next, configure your IMAP client (Outlook or Thunderbird) with each email account on each server.
One account for the old account (if it is not already there) and one account for the new account created with cPanel.
You may find it easier to use the actual IP addresses of each respective server to avoid name resolution issues.
Replace example.com with IP address (use ping example.com on your CMD console to find out the IP of the old server)
After that, you just need to drag-and-drop the old messages from the old account into the new account on Outlook or Thunderbird and delete the old account.
When finishing with all accounts, change your domain DNS to the new cPanel hosting server and you're done.
It will be downtime?
Depends on the number of email boxes you have to transfer and on other websites or applications you have to move from the old domain name. Normally it should work fast enough to not have any problems but I suggest doing this after working hours.
I'll try to be clearest as possible as I think this is not a usual situation. If you need more details, please say it.
I work on a company that has an Exchange Server. They provide a laptop which is on company domain and I can connect in Outlook just fine with my company e-mail. If I go home with my company laptop I can connect via VPN to company domain and connect to Outlook just fine as well.
We have a webmail which we can use in ANY untrusted computer on browser, something like webmail.mycompany.com and I just need to put my username and password to connect.
I also have an Android smartphone which is not on domain as well and I can configure it to connect to my company Exchange mail.
However I work on a remote server which is not on company domain (I can't change the domain on the remote server) and I'm trying to configure Outlook on the remote server unsuccessfully...
I'm very confused and wondering:
If I can connect via VPN to my company Exchange mail on Outlook anywhere as long as I have internet access on my company laptop
I can connect to my company Exchange mail on a webmail on browser on any computer (not on company domain) providing username and password.
I can connect to my company Exchange mail on my Android smartphone (not on company domain) by providing the Exchange mail server, username, domain and password.
Question: Is it possible to connect to Outlook in a different domain on a remote server with the information I have?
Thank you!
If an Exchange server is published correctly with ActiveSync enabled, then an device that supports ActiveSync should be able to connect to it. I am contracted out to 4 partner organisations during the week, 1 orgs email is Exchange Online, the others are local exchanges, one each of 2007, 2010, 2013.
I can easily hook up my email accounts to each of these from my phones, outlook 2010 at home (not connected to the domain or VPN) and outlook 2013 in the office (that is domain connected). (For 2 of these orgs my first job was to correctly publish their exchange farm for their employees)
You mentioned a VPN tunnel, if you have to establish a VPN to connect to the exchange then it sounds like it has not been correctly published externally, possibly by design.
The first thing you should do is talk to your Exchange Admin and ask them to confirm or publish the Autodiscover and ActiveSync related services for the exchange you wish to connect to externally, it's quite secure by default and has been designed to be used in this way so you shouldn't get much resistance on this front.
If you are the admin, or just playing along at home, then your next stop should be the Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com , previously testexchangeconnectivity.com... that uses the same protocols that outlook and mobile devices use to connect to MS Exchange, this includes Exchange Online.
If the connectivity analyzer can connect, but your client can't then download the client analyzer from the "client" tab in the connectivity analyzer site. The error prompts are really informative and help to improve your understanding of how the Exchange platform works
Outlook 2010 can only add one domain connected Exchange service at a time, but it can have many activeSync compatible services connected no worries at all. Follow the test results on the connectivity analyzer site described above for guidance, the two most common issues that I come across are:
You primary email alias may not match the autodiscover service. For instance user#email.com might belong to an exchange that is published as 'electronicemail.com' In this case you need to make sure you connect to the exchange service as 'user#electronicemail.com' your default replay to address as configured in exchange will still work as user#email.com, but outlook doesn't know about these details untile after it has established a connection to the exchange server via the autodiscover service.
The other common issue is that the autodiscover service is not contactable externally or does not resolve correctly when you are external. (this happens a lot with Small Business Server and Essential Business server) In these cases you can sometimes make some quick edits to your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to direct outlook to the right server IPaddress to configure the account. If you add a hosts entry for autodiscover.yourEmailDomainName.whateveritis into your hosts file this can often get around issues caused by the organisations public DNS not being configured for exchange.
Note that the hosts solution above can work in many instances for both of these issues
I have those domains (fictious names) :
www.myponey.ca
www.unicorn.ca
www.unicorn.com
All active in cPanel Accelerated 2. The main domain in cPanel is www.myponey.ca and what I'd like to do is:
being able to use emails in the cPanel for the first 2 domains
having www.unicorn.ca point to a server on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
creating a subdomain like magical.unicorn.ca that point to a server on AWS
redirect www.unicorn.com to www.unicorn.ca
I started with creating add-on domains but ran into many problems, I'm not sure this is the right way to go now. Not even sure if this can be done in cPanel.
With the help of my hosting company, we we're able to solve all issues. Had to add 1 more add-on domain, had to change the MX Entry in email and some changes in Advanced Zone Editor for some of the domains. If anyone is having the same problem, contact your hosting company! It can all be done
