How do I access my webmail (Check emails using a browser)?
How do I access my webmail (Check emails using a browser)?

You can read your mail and compose new messages even if you are far from your home or office computer. To do this, you first need to allow access to the Horde Webmail interface that is integrated with your control panel. Then you can work with your mail from any computer with Internet connection and Web browser installed, or a WAP-enabled cellular phone or a handheld computer (PDA).
To login to your webmail use the following url:

http://webmail.yourdomain.com

*where yourdomain.com is your domain name.

Login details are your email address and password you setup in your control panel.
This is the perfect Webmail program, which comes with all our web hosting plans, so you can access your emails anywhere in the world.
You can read your mail and compose new messages even if you are far from your home or office computer. To do this, you first need to allow access to the Horde Webmail interface that is integrated with your control panel. Then you can work with your mail from any computer with Internet connection and Web browser installed, or a WAP-enabled cellular phone or a handheld computer (PDA).
Horde offers many of the features available in pc email clients like Outlook Express. Some of the features include:
- Compose and send emails
- Read your incoming mail
- Email search facility
- Address book
- Calendar and events
- Save work as a draft
- Task lists
- Create folders for storing your mail
To login to your webmail use the following url:

http://webmail.yourdomain.com

*where yourdomain.com is your domain name.

The login name is the full email address i.e. you@yoursite.com and the password is the one you setup when you created the email in PLESK.

Login details are your email address and password you setup in your PLESK control panel or Online E-Store System.
If you also use an email client like Outlook Express to check your mail and still want to access the mail with Horde, make sure you check the option to leave mail on the server. If you fail to do this, all your mail will be downloaded to your email client and won't be accessable via webmail with Horde. Please be aware though that leaving your emails on the server will increase your used disk space as well.

Setup fetch email using Netvigator
Setup fetch email using Netvigator

Why Should I Use Fetch Mail Instead of an Email Forwarder?

We are committed to improving the stability of services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for mail forwarding to cause blacklisting with many large email providers. This most commonly occurs when large amounts of mail are forwarded and then marked as spam after it has been received in the end user's inbox. This results in our server's sending reputation being penalized since it was the last server to send the mail. Ultimately, our server will be blacklisted with the email provider and it will affect all of other users on the same server.

A solution to this is to disabled mail forwarding altogether. change to using mail fetcher, you can access mail in a other system without having the mail routed through that system's server. This way, you can mark a message as spam without it affecting our email server's reputation.

The instructions below provide steps on how to fetch mail from our server so you can access them via Netvigator Mail.

Once Mail Fetcher is set up, Netvigator will check those accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Netvigator mail.
- Log into your Netvigator account. https://www.netvigator.com/chi/email.php
- Click Preferences and locate the Accounts section.
- Click Add External Account.
- Enter the full email address in the Email address field.
- Select POP3 in the Account type field.
- Enter the full email address in the Username of Account field.
- Enter mail.yourdomain.com in the Email Server field. (Enter your domain instead of "yourdomain.com".)
- In the Password field, enter the password for the email address you provided.
- No need to enable Advanced Settings.
- Click Save.
Attention
- As a convenience to users, we provide information about how to use certain third-party products, but we do not have technical support third-party products. we are not responsible for the functions or reliability of such products.
- Email Forwarding or Fetch Mail may disclose your secrets.

Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?
Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?

SSL provides a level of security and privacy for those wishing to conduct secure transactions over the Internet. Introduced by Netscape, the SSL protocol protects transmissions over the Internet by encrypting information as it passing between the server and the user. This insures that your transactions are not subject to "sniffing" by a third party.

The Plesk Panel provides two ways of access – Secured and Unencrypted. The first one encrypts the connection between your browser and control panel. The second one (Unencrypted) provides connection on the regular port 8880.

Since the Plesk Panel is a local one and is being accessed per Customer domain, we have installed a SSL certificate for server domain, which ensures your secured connection to the server when using the first method. The warnings are being prompted due to the fact that your domain name mismatches the one that the SSL is generated for (the server's).

However, this is not a reason for your connection to be left unencrypted and you may safely click Continue to this website (not recommended) when receiving the warning. Your connection will be surely encrypted.
- Example for Secured URL
  https://domainname.com:8443 (Recommended)
- Example for Unencrypted URL
  http://domainname.com:8880

Glossary

SPAM
SPAM

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages, which are universally undesired. While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, mobile phone messaging spam, internet forum spam and junk fax transmissions.

Spamming is economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for mainly storing images, including photographs and line art. Originally created by the company Aldus, jointly with Microsoft, for use with PostScript printing, TIFF is a popular format for high color depth images, along with JPEG and PNG.

TIFF format is widely supported by image-manipulation applications such as Photoshop by Adobe, GIMP, Ulead PhotoImpact, and Photo-Paint as well as Paint Shop Pro by Corel, by desktop publishing and page layout applications, such as QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, and by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications.

TIFF was chosen as the native format for raster graphics in the NeXTstep operating system, and this TIFF support carried over into Mac OS X. Adobe Systems, which acquired the PageMaker publishing program from Aldus, now controls the TIFF specification, although it has not had a major update since 1992 (several technical notes have been published with minor extensions to the format).

BMP (Bit Mapped)
BMP (Bit Mapped)

The BMP (bit mapped) format is used internally in the Microsoft Windows operating system to handle graphics images. These files are typically not compressed resulting in large files.

The main advantage of BMP files is their wide acceptance, simplicity, and use in Windows programs. However, they may pose problems for users of other operating systems. Commonly, BMP files are used for Microsoft's Paint program. Since most BMP files are uncompressed, and BMP's RLE compression has serious limits[citation needed], the large size of BMP files makes them unsuitable for file transfer. However, Bit Map images are suitable for background images and wallpapers. This is especially true for screen shots. In addition, images from scanners are usually stored in BMP files.

Cookie
Cookie

The term Cookie derives from "magic cookie", a packet of data a program receives but only uses for sending it again, possibly to its origin, unchanged. Magic cookies were already used in computing when Lou Montulli had the idea of using them in Web communications in Mar 1993.

Purpose
HTTP cookies are used by Web servers to differentiate users and to maintain data related to the user during navigation, possibly across multiple visits. HTTP cookies were introduced to provide a way for realizing a "shopping cart" (or "shopping basket"), a virtual device into which the user can "place" items to purchase, so that users can navigate a site where items are shown, adding or removing items from the shopping basket at any time.

Allowing users to log in to a website is another use of cookies. Users typically log in by inserting their credentials into a login page; cookies allow the server to know that the user is already authenticated, and therefore is allowed to access services or perform operations that are restricted to logged-in users.

Many websites also use cookies for personalization based on users' preferences. Sites that require authentication often use this feature, although it is also present on sites not requiring authentication. Personalization includes presentation and functionality. For example, the Wikipedia Web site allows authenticated users to choose the webpage skin they like best; the Google search engine allows users (even non-registered ones) to decide how many search results per page they want to see.

Cookies are also used to track users across a website. Third-party cookies and Web bugs, explained below, also allow for tracking across multiple sites. Tracking within a site is typically done with the aim of producing usage statistics, while tracking across sites is typically used by advertising companies to produce anonymous user profiles, which are then used to target advertising (deciding which advertising image to show) based on the user profile.

Browser Setting
Described in " How to Enable Cookie " section.

Cookie Expiration
Persistent cookies have been criticized by privacy experts for not being set to expire soon enough, and thereby allowing some websites to track users and build up a profile of them over time. This aspect of cookies also compounds the issue of session hijacking, because a stolen persistent cookie can potentially be used to impersonate a user for a considerable period of time.

Identification
If more than one browser is used on a computer, each usually has a separate storage area for cookies. Hence cookies do not identify a person, but a combination of a user account, a computer, and a Web browser. Thus, anyone who uses multiple accounts, computers, or browsers has multiple sets of cookies.

Likewise, cookies do not differentiate between multiple users who share a computer and browser, if they do not use different user accounts.

ISP
ISP

An Internet service provider (abbr. ISP, also called Internet access provider or IAP) is a business or organization that provides to consumers access to the Internet and related services.

In the past, most ISPs were run by the phone companies. Now, ISPs can be started by just about any individual or group with sufficient money and expertise. In addition to Internet access via various technologies such as dial-up and DSL, they may provide a combination of services including Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, web hosting, and colocation.

“支援服務記錄”能提供高效率、管理簡易的雙向溝通環境，比一般只依靠電子郵件進行通信的模式不同。

當顧客（查詢者）需要向店主查詢問題的時候，只要直接在“聯絡我們”的頁面輸入個人資料及問題的內容，簡單地點擊“寄出”，系統便會記錄該項查詢，並且即時向“查詢者”及管理員發出確認郵件。

當管理員知悉及回覆查詢後，系統便會記錄往後的答覆，並同時發出電郵通知“查詢者”，而“查詢者”可點擊郵件內的連結，再次到達您網站的“聯絡頁”檢視管理員的回覆細節，“查詢者”亦可在需要時在“聯絡頁”提出“回應”。
整個查詢過程，“查詢者”均可隨時隨地在“聯絡頁”辦理所有查詢、檢視、回應，系統亦會將每一項查詢主題的來龍去脈一一記錄，以便管理員掌握這些客戶服務中的資訊。

支援查詢的範圍主要可針對“一般查詢”、“產品查詢”、“訂單查詢”等等，這些查詢的記錄必需是經由“聯絡頁”處理，凡經其他途徑例如電子郵件、電話處理的情況下，這項功能是沒法記錄的。

這份指南將介紹“支援服務記錄”中的各項設定。

“部門設定”包含以下資料：
- 查詢部門名稱
  “中英文”的自訂部門名稱，供“查詢者”提出針對部門的選擇，亦提供“管理員”回覆時的所屬部門選擇。

Twitter
Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read each others' updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees.

Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet", as it provides the functionality—via its application programming interface (API)—for other desktop and web-based applications to send and receive short text messages, often obscuring the Twitter service itself.

Microsoft recommends against usage of SHA-1
Microsoft recommends against usage of SHA-1

Microsoft is advising its customers to stop using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm in cryptographic applications such as SSL/TLS encryption and code signing.

In a security advisory issued by the company, Microsoft said that it would stop recognising certificates using the algorithm after January 1, 2016. After this date, certificate authorities (CAs) that issue certificates under the Windows Root Certificate Program will only be able to issue SHA-2 certificates.

According to Microsoft, SHA-1 is used in 98 percent of all certificates issued worldwide. However, it also claims that since 2005 researchers have discovered collision attacks against the algorithm that mean it no longer meets its security standards. Although the announcement to drop SHA-1 comes today, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has been advising government agencies to move to SHA-2 since December 2011.

The ASD also has a slightly different opinion of when the collision attacks were first known, stating that "theoretically impressive attacks" against SHA-1 were known since 2004, but that they were not practical to implement.

ASD has already removed the "weakened but not broken" SHA-1 algorithm from use in its Information Security Manual.

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology, which published the algorithm, also stated in September 2012 that US federal agencies should stop using SHA-1.

微軟證實Hotmail個人資料遭竊取

微軟證實Hotmail個人資料遭竊取

根據BBC（英國廣播公司）報導，微軟公司的Windows Live Hotmail遭到網絡黑客入侵，超過萬個hotmail客戶資料遭到竊取，這些資料多數來自歐洲，微軟並證實遭竊取的密碼都是正確的。

科技網誌neowin.net說，黑客除了盜取帳號密碼之外，又把盜取到的資料全數公布到網路上，超過上萬個hotmail帳戶的細節，2009年10月1日被貼上一個讓人分享密碼的網站pastebin.com。

Neowin聲稱這些帳戶可能是被黑或是利用網路釣魚搜集而來。網路釣魚攻擊者利用發送釣魚郵件給受害者，受害者點選後，會被導向釣魚網頁，就會洩漏了個人的機密資訊給予攻擊者，如個人的信用卡號碼、密碼、帳號等。

微軟目前表示，他們已經知悉此事，並正在積極了解及處理中。這件事透露出網路資訊安全的疑慮，若果個人資料遭到竊取，可能會有更多後續麻煩的事端。

PHPBugTracker
PHPBugTracker

Thanks for taking a look at phpBugTracker. This project was started out of the frustation I experienced getting Bugzilla installed and operational for a web development project. The goals of this project are to produce a web-based bug tracker with functionality similar to bugzilla that is abstracted from the database backend and uses templates for rendering the pages. Currently phpBugTracker is nowhere near a drop-in replacement for Bugzilla, so don't expect it to be. Maybe it will get to that point one day, maybe it won't. If it doesn't meet your needs, your development help is welcome, but your whining isn't! Just remember that I do this in my very limited spare time for fun, and I hope others can enjoy what little I have done/will do on it. That said, I hope you enjoy using phpBugTracker, and that you find it useful.
