If you are getting a 500 Server Error, then its very much possible that either your server is not meeting the TMail requirements OR there is some configuration issue. 

Below are the steps you can go through to check:

1. Contact your hosting provider and ask if they have following extensions installed for you on your server:
   1. PHP >= 7.1.3 
   2. MySQL >= 5.1
   3. BCMath PHP Extension
   4. Ctype PHP Extension
   5. JSON PHP Extension
   6. Mbstring PHP Extension
   7. OpenSSL PHP Extension
   8. PDO PHP Extension
   9. Tokenizer PHP Extension
   10. XML PHP Extension
2. Incase you are using TMail, then you will need below extensions as well:
   1. IMAP
   2. iconv
3. Check out the logs located in storage -> logs -> (something).log and see if you can understand what the error is. This will most probably tell you what extensions are not installed properly. 

If your hosting provider comes back saying everything is installed as per the requirement and you are still getting error, check your IMAP email configuration. You can try below steps:

1. Disable SSL for IMAP from Admin Panel
2. Check with your hosting provider what is the hostname to connect (IMAP Hostname)

If none of the above solutions are working for you, please go ahead and create a ticket with all the details you have. Don't forget to keep the ticket private incase you have some sensitive information (like Passwords, etc).

How to add more languages is one of the most requested tutorial. As both tSMS and TMail now share some backend structure, this tutorial will work for both.

So, let's get straight to the point. Follow below steps to add more languages OR if you want to update any language translations :

First step is to add a folder under

resource/lang

You will see few language folders which are already created. Go ahead and create a new folder you want. Keep the folder name short, lowercase and without spaces. We will need to specify this name in another file as well to make it come on the main website.

Copy the files from "en" folder to your new folder and now start editing the files in your new folder with your new language strings.

Once you are done, goto config/app.php file and scroll down till you find below line

'locales' => ['ar', 'de', 'en', 'fr', 'hi', 'pl', 'ru'],

Now, add your new folder name in that array. For example, if your folder name is uk-en then following will be the changed line

'locales' => ['ar', 'de', 'en', 'fr', 'hi', 'pl', 'ru', 'uk-en'],

That's it!

Goto your website and you will see your new language in the language selector dropdown on top right corner :)

Lot of people requested for a full screen view just like TMail had before v5. So, now finally you can have that in new TMail as well. Below is something you can get from this

Below are the steps to achieve above design:

1. Create a new Page and name it anything you want

2. You don't have to write any content for this as that won't be displayed here

3. Copy paste below code in Custom Header field of the page

<style>
.tm-content {
  display: none !important;
}
.tm-sidebar {
  width: 100% !important;
  max-width: 100% !important;
  flex: 100 !important;
}
.tm-sidebar > .tm-create {
  margin: 0 auto !important;
  width: 400px !important;
  max-width: 80% !important;
}
header .tm-logo {
  padding-top: 1em !important;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 99;
}
header .tm-menu {
  border: none !important;
}
header .tm-menu a {
  color: #fff !important;
}
header .tm-menu a:hover {
  color: #eee !important;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
  body main .tm-sidebar .tm-create.show-button form,
  body main .tm-sidebar .tm-create.show-button span {
    display: block !important;
  }
  header .tm-logo {
    padding-top: 1.5em !important;
  }
}
</style>
<script>
document.getElementsByClassName('tm-menu')[0].style.backgroundColor = window.getComputedStyle(document.getElementsByClassName('tm-logo')[0], null).getPropertyValue("background-color")
</script>

4. Make this page, your homepage

That's it!

With v5.4, TMail has more ad spaces.

Below is a short preview of how many and where exactly are the Ad Spaces are located in TMail:

If you still wish to add more ads, you will need to edit following files based on where you want to add ads:

1. resources/views/layout.blade.php - Global Layout

2. resources/views/page.blade.php - Page Layout

3. resources/views/app.blade.php - App Layout

You will need to have basic knowledge of HTML / PHP to understand how to add the ads code.

However, at every update, you may need to do this again since you're editing the core files.

Here is a tutorial which shows how you can add more domains to TMail. Basic steps are as follows:

1. Add your new domain to cPanel (or any other panel) as Addon or Park / Alias Domain

2. Setup Default Address for that specific domain and forward all mails to same catchall id which you created while setting up TMail.

3. Add your new domain in TMail Admin Panel under Domains.

4. There is no step 4, that's it!

From TMail v5.2, you can integrate your WordPress Blogs! You can either show blogs right on the homepage using the short-code OR you can create a new page and put the short-code to show the blogs.

Here is the short-code to show your WordPress Blogs on TMail: 

[blogs url="https://harshitpeer.com/blog"]

Below are all parameters details

Note: TMail short-code uses WP JSON API for extracting blogs from your WordPress site.

Upload your icon in public folder of your website and make sure you're able to access that favicon via https://yourwebsite/favicon.[png/jpg]

Once you see your favicon getting loaded in above URL, use below code and put that URL instead of [YOUR_FAVICON_URL] withj [EXT] as PNG or JPG depending upon extension of your image file.

<link rel="icon" href="[YOUR_FAVICON_URL]" type="image/[EXT]">

Its quite possible that your site becomes famous with TMail running at the backend, so here is a quick way on how you can delete tons of emails, you may be receiving daily. 

Below is the CRON command you can set

wget -O /dev/null -o /dev/null https://[YOUR_SITE_URL]/cron/deletemails?key=[CRON_PASSWORD]

You can set the time based on your need. Below is the description of various possible options

# * * * * *  command to execute 
# │ │ │ │ │ 
# │ │ │ │ │ 
# │ │ │ │ └───── day of week (0 - 6) (0 to 6 are Sunday to Saturday, or use names; 7 is Sunday, the same as 0) 
# │ │ │ └────────── month (1 - 12) 
# │ │ └─────────────── day of month (1 - 31) 
# │ └──────────────────── hour (0 - 23) 
# └───────────────────────── min (0 - 59)

Examples,

If you want to set the emails to be deleted every day, 

0 0 * * * wget -O /dev/null -o /dev/null https://[YOUR_SITE_URL]/cron/deletemails?key=[CRON_PASSWORD]

PS - You can find / set your CRON Password in Admin Panel of your TMail
