'''Drawbacks of POP3:''' POP3 was not originally intended to support users accessing and managing their email from remote systems. Because your email is stored on your desktop, setting up remote access of your email when you are at a different computer can be complex.

===Configuring Your Web Browser===

====Horde Agenda====

Most browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc) are configured using a dialog box called "preferences", "network preferences" or "options". Some browsers need to be configured to access the Internet either directly or via a proxy server. When required, most desktop applications, your web browser included, should be configured as though they were directly accessing the Internet. Although the server uses a security feature known as IP masquerading, thereby creating an indirect connection to the Internet, this is a transparent operation to most of your desktop applications. Hence, you should ensure that the "Direct connection to the Internet" check box is clicked "on" in your web browser.

It needs webmail enabled for your server. You can also setup additional agenda from your webmail for every user.

Under certain circumstances, using a proxy server can improve the perceived performance of your network. The server includes HTTP, FTP and Gopher proxy servers. Normally, we recommend these be disabled in your browser.

# address https://domain.tld/horde/rpc.php/principals/username/

# email username@domain.tld

If you decided that you do want to use proxy servers [[#3]], you will need to enter the IP address or domain name of the proxy server (i.e. your server) into the configuration screens of your web browser. The port number you will need to enter to connect to the proxy server is 3128. This information is the same for HTTP, Gopher and FTP proxying.

Alternatively your browser can find the proxy details for itself by entering <nowiki>http://proxy/proxy.pac</nowiki> into Automatic proxy configuration URL:

It needs webmail enabled for your server. You can also setup additional task lists from your webmail for every user.

The image below shows how a proxy server would be configured in Mozilla Firefox.

# address https://domain.tld/horde/rpc.php/principals/username/

It needs webmail enabled for your server. You can also setup additional address books from your webmail for every user.

====LDAP Directory (SME Server internal Address Book)====

 

===Configuring Your Company Directory (Address Book)===

Your SME Server automatically maintains a Directory and populates it with users names and contact details when Admin enters these in the server-manager. Any client program that uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), such as the address book in Thunderbird, will be able to access the Directory - but by default this will be read-only access. For example, with Thunderbird, look under the "Tools" menu and choose "Address Book". Then look under the "File" - "New" menu and select "LDAP Directory".
