How to install SquirrelMail on Linux Mint Latest

SquirrelMail is a popular web email client that allows you to access your email from a web browser. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install SquirrelMail on Linux Mint Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Apache

The first step is to install the Apache web server. Open a terminal and execute the following command.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2

To start Apache, execute the following command.

sudo systemctl start apache2

Step 2: Install PHP

Next, we need to install PHP. Execute the following command.

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php

Once the installation is complete, restart the Apache web server.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 3: Install SquirrelMail

Download the latest version of SquirrelMail from the official website at https://squirrelmail.org/download.php. Alternatively, you can execute the following command to download the package.

wget https://squirrelmail.org/countdl.php?fileurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fsquirrelmail%2Ffiles%2Fstable%2F1.4.23%2Fsquirrelmail-webmail-1.4.23.tar.gz

Next, extract the downloaded file.

tar -xvf squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.23.tar.gz

Enter the extracted directory.

cd squirrelmail-webmail-1.4.23

Now, copy the entire directory to the Apache web root directory.

sudo cp -r * /var/www/html/

Step 4: Configure SquirrelMail

We need to configure some settings for SquirrelMail to work properly. Open the configuration file with a text editor.

sudo nano /var/www/html/config/config.php

Look for the following lines and configure them as follows. Replace "example.com" with your domain name.

$domain                 = 'example.com';
$imapServerAddress      = 'localhost';
$imapPort               = 143;
$useSendmail            = false;
$smtpServerAddress      = 'localhost';
$smtpPort               = 25;
$imap_server_type       = 'dovecot';

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Access SquirrelMail

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/squirrelmail. You should see the SquirrelMail login screen.

Enter your email address and password to login.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SquirrelMail on Linux Mint Latest.
