This article outlines how you can customize both the logo shown on the webmail sign in page and the logo shown in the top left of the browser window after login.
Changing the images is done by placing new graphics in a custom
folder on the server in the webmail path. This works on a domain by domain
basis.
Customizing the webmail login logo The login page for webmail allows a logo to be customised based on the
URL used. It has to be based on the URL since you don't know the users details
until after login. When a browser accesses the sign in page, the server
inspects the URL that was used and this URL is parsed and used to
see if a custom image is available for the domain.
To add images to the server you put them in the following path. Each skin
that is used requires a directory called Custom to be created, and under this
directory another directory for the domain, under which the logo image will be
placed. For instance, to set a logo for the Default skin: Mail
Enable\Bin\NetWebMail\Mondo\skins\Default\Custom\[company_com]\ In the above example, the domain name
in question is company.com, however the period has been replaced with
an underscore since IIS will block file paths with .com in them. Do not include
the [] characters. MailEnable will also strip sub domains from the URL. So if
the webmail is accessed with webmail.example.com then the image path will
become example_com. NOTE: In version 4 the path to the skins folder is HooDoo
instead of Mondo: Mail
Enable\Bin\NetWebMail\HooDoo\skins\clear\Custom\[company_com] The images need to be called: login_logo.jpg - This is the sign in page logo for versions 5
and later of MailEnable. Recommended size is 220x330
pixels. login-window_logo.gif - This is the sign in page logo for
version 4 of MailEnable.
An example: The URL used to access webmail = webmail.domain.com
Path on server = Mail
Enable\Bin\NETWebMail\Mondo\Skins\Oceano\Custom\domain_com Another example: The URL used to access webmail = domain.com Path on server = Mail
Enable\Bin\NETWebMail\Mondo\Skins\Mondo\Custom\com
Customizing the branding
banner graphic
You also have the ability to replace the MailEnable banner
within the webmail screen after a user has logged in. With recent versions of
MailEnable the toolbar defaults to using the small version of icons, which does
not show the banner. To make the webmail use large buttons and show the banner,
use web administration as a SYSADMIN user and disable the small
buttons under the setting: System->Service->WebMail Service->Display You can enable the custom banner feature through the
administration program at the following location: Servers->Localhost->Services and Connectors->Webmail
Properties->General->Enable banner and usage display If you are using the Enterprise version of MailEnable you are able to upload
the banner image through web administration (under the Branding option). The
branding for the graphic after logon is slightly different in that it uses the
postoffice name to determine the graphic location. So if you are doing
this outside of the web administration program, the path is based on the
postoffice name, not the domain used. The web administration branding option
cannot do the main login page, since the postoffice is not known until the user
logs in. The path to the graphic will be: Mail
Enable\bin\netwebmail\Mondo\skins\[skin]\Custom\[postofficename]\corp_logo.gif
