Configuration

After restarting NGINX, go to https://webmail.mydomain.com/?admin, you need to login as user admin with the password found in the file: data/_data_/_default_/admin_password.txt.

Immediately change the password, and that file will be deleted.

You need to setup the domains you want to use in SnappyMail to allow users to login.
