A blast from the past!

Deticking IIS Webmail is a process that involves removing the tick marks from the "Enable" checkboxes for certain features in the IIS (Internet Information Services) Webmail configuration. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you detick IIS Webmail:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have IIS installed on your Windows server.
  2. You have access to the IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Open the IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe) and navigate to the "Webmail" section.
  2. In the "Webmail" section, click on the "Settings" button.
  3. In the "Webmail Settings" window, scroll down to the "Security" section.
  4. Look for the "Enable" checkboxes for the following features:
    • "SSL/TLS encryption"
    • "Basic authentication"
    • "Digest authentication"
    • "Windows authentication"
  5. Untick (remove the tick mark) from each of these checkboxes.
  6. Click "Apply" to save your changes.

What's the purpose of deticking IIS Webmail?

Deticking IIS Webmail is often done to:

  1. Disable SSL/TLS encryption: This can be useful if you're not using SSL/TLS encryption for your webmail service.
  2. Disable authentication: This can be useful if you're not using authentication for your webmail service or if you're using a different authentication mechanism.
  3. Improve performance: Disabling certain features can improve the performance of your webmail service.

Important notes:

  1. Before deticking IIS Webmail, make sure you understand the implications of disabling these features.
  2. If you're unsure about the consequences of deticking IIS Webmail, it's recommended to consult with a system administrator or a security expert.
  3. Deticking IIS Webmail may not be necessary if you're using a modern webmail service that doesn't rely on these features.
