RAINLOOP Webmail



RainLoop is a simple, modern & fast web-based email client. RainLoop webmail was designed with efficient memory use in mind, so it can work fine even on low-end web servers. Regardless of mailbox size and number of mails in it, memory use per active user is always kept at a minimum, even when very large mails are processed. Which is why at CyberPanel we choose to ship Rainloop as a default webmail.




RAINLOOP webmail




how can I set the login graphic with custom background image and also the input link as ip: port / rainloop / index.php is not a nice link to see for my customers who will have to access the mails from rainloop.Thank you


Open in your favorite browser and login to configure RainLoop webmail. The default login name is admin and the password is 12345. After the first login, you should change the default login credentials.


Are you bored of Roundcube and Horde? Not to worry! RainLoop is available in your Softaculous Web Apps Installer for a fresh, modern take on webmail. RainLoop also has modern features such as reCAPTCHA and 2-Factor Authentication plugins which bolster security to your webmail.


Due to limitations with cPanel, you will not be able to install RainLoop in a directory named Webmail successfully. Accessing your domain.tld/webmail with a cPanel Host will always result in your webmail choice of Horde or Roundcube opening, not RainLoop.


By default, Rainloop will add a X-Mailer email header, indicating that you are using Rainloop webmail and the version number. You can tell Postfix to ignore it so recipient can not see it. Run the following command to create a header check file.


Can we create more virtual clients (ex :user1, user2 ) and check and verify email sending & receiving process (as in SquirrelMail webmail client.) over rainloop client configuring mail server as above in ubuntu.


Thanks for all the information you give us, a question I wanted to ask you, how could I do what to install this solution in a cluster? Or what would you recommend for this type of solution, such as rouncube, kolab or rainloop, if I want a cluster or its database separately, what do you recommend in that case.


The most common response to this feature was always pointing to using the default url or installing your own copy of Rainloop in another folder/website and using that. This article teaches you how to change the access address for the Rainloop webmail that is built-in to CyberPanel!


If you are hosting a single Domain in CyberPanel and your users can all easily remember a webmail address for the domain, then setting up a dedicated website FQDN for webmail access may be the ideal choice for you. You could even do this for each domain you have setup (IE: webmail.example1.com, webmail.example2.com).


I have followed this tutorial and installed it correctly on my server. Also I am running virtualmin on it. I have installed it on _address/rainloop. The rainloop does not show up. And I Tried installing it on another server without virtualmin, it worked perfectly. Pl tell me how to run both of them on a single server.


CAUTION do not restart Apache just yet. I will prompt you to do that after the next step to avoid a security breach due to a full momentary access to your webmail folder!


Super, thank you @tituspijean . I think we would just need to apply the patch with someting like patch rainloop/v/1.13.0/app/libraries/MailSo/Base/HtmlUtils.php


My problem with email used to be that I had to manage multiple email accounts because of multiple job roles I had. Since I only use webmail for getting access to all my inboxes and outboxes from any device, I needed a server software that could bring all my email accounts in one place. Rainloop was the solution. It lets me access all email accounts in a browser, while the messages are safely stored and backed up on servers.


That said, Rainloop makes my life so much easier that I have moved my email accounts to a hosting company that provides IMAP protocol for email. Gmail and Outlook, among others, email accounts can also be integrated into Rainloop webmail.


If you want more user-friendly and better-looking webmail than your current web mail, or you want to manage all your email accounts in one place, here are the installation and configuration instructions for Rainloop.


Since webmail is usually on the public internet, it is a good idea to protect the login from hacking attempts. An option is two-factor authentication. Open the Rainloop Admin Panel, click Security on the left pane, and activate two-step verification.


A relatively easy (although not considered rock-solid secure) way to add two-step authentication is to create a htpasswd for the Rainloop directory. It means that when someone tries to login to your Rainloop webmail system, the web server prevents it, and asks for a user name and password. Only after the web server is happy with the provided name and password, it lets the user proceed to Rainloop email login.


You may want to check our previous articles on setting up LAMP or LEMP Stack on Ubuntu 18.04.Once you are done setting up LEMP Stack, install the following extra PHP extensions required by RainLoop;# apt install php7.2-curl,xml2. Set Static IP address for your server and set the hostname in hosts file in case you are not using DNS server. You can check our previous article on how to set up static IP address on Ubuntu 18.04. In our case, the Server IP address is 192.168.43.17 and the hostname is webmail.example.com and thus my hosts file would contain the following line;


In order to install RainLoop, download its archive and extract the files to the RainLoop web root directory.Create RainLoop web root directory# mkdir /var/www/html/rainloopDownload RainLoop Webmail archive# wget -community-latest.zipInstall RainLoop ApplicationTo install RainLoop, extract the files from the archive and upload them to the RainLoop web root directory.# unzip rainloop-community-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/rainloop/Configure proper permission for files and directories of the RainLoopSet the read/write permissions for all RainLoop application directories to 755 (drwxr-xr-x);# find /var/www/html/rainloop/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \;Set the read/write permissions for all RainLoop application files to 644 (-rw-r--r--);# find /var/www/html/rainloop/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \;Change the ownership of the RainLoop Web root directory to www-data.# chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html/rainloop/Configure a Server Block for RainLoopAfter the installation, you need to create a server block configuration for RainLoop as shown below.


Create the RainLoop log directory as defined in the configuration file above.# mkdir /var/log/rainloopOnce you are done with configuration, save the file and test for syntax errors;# nginx -tnginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is oknginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successfulSince all is well, activate the RainLoop site configuration as shown below;


I merged this fix with the rainloop version 5.3.0 (release 1.14.0 from January 2020) and tested it on my ownCloud 10.3.2 and its working! I also checked ownCloud version 10.4.1 and I confirm its working there as well.


In some cases, it is useful to setup an automatic reply (also known as an auto-response). We can do this in any of the webmail applications provided by myself, including Roundcube and Rainloop. Their instructions are included below.


So, to increase your email deliverability or for any other reason, you may want to use an external SMTP provider to send your emails from your RainLoop webmail client. And to do that you can follow this guide.


Note that if you are using cPanel, Plesk, Virtualmin or some other web hosting control panel, then your default webmail client may be Roundcube, Horde or SquirrelMail instead of RainLoop. Also, your server may not come with any webmail client at all. And in these cases, you will first need to install RainLoop and then follow the instructions.


There are many external SMTP service providers that you can choose for sending your emails. You can choose to go with someone based on their high deliverability, good pricing, or some other criteria. Once you choose your SMTP provider you will need to create an account with them to get some SMTP details that you will need to use with your webmail clients. These details will be required when you want to set up their SMTP service on RainLoop.


At this point, all the configurations should be completed. So, you can log out of the admin panel of RainLoop. Then access your RainLoop webmail client without using one of your email accounts that match earlier configurations.


In this article, I will take you through the steps to install RainLoop Webmail on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. RainLoop is a free and open source webmail with modern user interface and complete support of IMAP and SMTP protocols. It also provides easy integration with Social Media Platforms like Facebook, Google, Twitter and Dropbox. It is really easy to install RainLoop and can also be updated using minimal steps as and when required. More on RainLoop Official Documentation.


There are multiple ways to install RainLoop webmail. You can either download the zip package and then extract and use the binary directly or you can also use tools like curl and wget to directly install from the installer package. For example, here we are using curl utility to install the package from RainLoop installer file. After installation, below command will generate index.php file, rainloop and data directory in the current path.


In the next step, you need to configure a VirtualHost for RainLoop. For this, you need to create rainloop.conf file under /etc/apache2/sites-available directory using nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/rainloop.conf command and then add the configuration information like ServerAdmin, DocumentRoot, ServerName, Directory etc. as shown below. You can also generate and install SSL certificate on Apache Web Server to enable secure communication.
