I've set up a subdomain (http://webmail.barinis.co.uk) that redirects to https://barinis.co.u....php?_task=mail, and so goes straight to the Roundcube webmail login screen.

The problem is that this then triggers an SSL error, as the SSL certificate is for the webhosts domain name (elrond.z-host.com) and not for Barinis.

Any ideas how, or if, I can fix this?

Many thanks,

Tom

Why not use the standard URl for webmail - http://www.sitename.com/webmail ?

Mainly to avoid the next screen forcing the user to choose what webmail application they'd like to use. I know a default can be set, but it will only default to that choice after 5s.

I know it sounds trivial, but I'm trying to convince my clients to move away from using a Hotmail account and to use a mailbox with their own domain name and they already think it's quite complicated.

The alternative would be to forget webmail and just set Outlook or similar up for them.

I just set Autoload to 1 instead of 5. Not quite seamless but it works well enough.
