How to change the 'Welcome To' name in webmail

The login page for Webmail defaults to "Welcome to Horde". Should you like to change that name to something else such as your domain name, follow the instructions below.

Instructions

1. Log in (with username root) to the SMEserver console.

2. Enter the following at the console prompt.

config setprop horde Name mydomain

where "mydomain" is the new name you wish to see on the Webmail Welcome screen in lieu of the default "Horde". For multiple words with punctuation enclose the new name in single quotes like this "my domain name".

3. Confirm that the new name has been registered in the database with the command:

config show horde

The results of which should show an entry Name=mydomain in the list of properties.

4. Enter the following command for the change to take effect.

signal-event email-update

5. The new name after "Welcome To" will appear instead of the default "Horde", the next time login is made to the webmail site.
