Recommended Customizations

Account Manager Menu Items to Remove

These options are primarily related to web hosting functionality and can be removed for an email-focused service:

• Subdomain Management - For creating website subdomains
• FTP Management - For file transfer protocol accounts
• Site Redirection - For website URL redirects
• MySQL Management - For database administration
• Hotlinks Protection - For preventing image hotlinking

• SSH Keys - Secure shell access management
• WordPress Manager - WordPress website tools
• ModSecurity - Web application firewall
• Redis - In-memory data structure store

Additional Streamlining

For a cleaner interface, consider these additional changes:

• Delete extra tools like Squirrelmail and phpMyAdmin

Adding Useful Email Tools

You can add these external entries to enhance email functionality:

• Crossbox webmail client:

  • Set link to: mail.mxlogin.com

• Snappy (webmail):

  • Set link to: https://|HOSTNAME|/snappy

Important Notes

• The customization only affects the template your customers see
• Your changes will apply to all new user accounts created after the customization
• Existing user accounts will not be affected unless you specifically apply the template to them
• The |HOSTNAME| variable will automatically be replaced with the appropriate hostname
• These customizations focus on providing an email-centric interface by removing web hosting features

After Customization

Once you've made these changes, your customers will see a streamlined interface focused specifically on email management functions, making their experience more straightforward and less cluttered with web hosting options they don't need.
