Horde Webmail has a couple of problems with it’s user interface which makes remembering how to do things a bit tricky. I can never seem to remember how you create mail lists (sometimes called mail groups) so thought I’d write it down.
- Log in to horde: Goto http://webmail.example.com/
- Click the Inbox icon from the left hand frame.
- Click the Address Book icon from the navigation bar at the top of the screen.
- From the navigation bar again select Browse.
- From the drop down select (Create a new Contact List in) “My Address Book”
- Select the checkbox on the top line next to Name. This will select all the items on the page.
- Uncheck all the selected names so that just the checkbox on the Name row is checked.
- Click Add.
- If you want you can select some email addresses before clicking Add. Those email addresses will be added to the mailing list first.
- When the New contact list dialogue window pops up, enter the name of the new mailing list you want to add, and click Ok.
- For each person you would like to add to the list:
- Select the letter navigation page link of the person you would like to add so for Tom Jones it’s filed under “T".
- Check Tom’s entry and select the name of the new mailing list from the Contacts drop down box.
- Click Add.
If you want to check which email addresses are on the list, then this is quite simple. The mail list is filed in the address book in the same way as normal address book entries.
- Click the first initial of the mailing list’s name from the navigation links at the bottom of the screen.
- Click on the name of the entry when it appears.
- This will show all the members of the list
Deleting a mailing list couldn’t be simpler.
- Find the mailing list from the initial links.
- Select the check box.
- Click the Delete link from the navigation links.
- Click Ok to say you are sure.
