Displaying Online Advertisements
You can set up the Web Messaging interface to display advertising. Ads are displayed at the top of each Web Messaging page and can consist of HTML text and/or graphics, including hyperlinks. Multiple ads are also supported on a time-sharing basis. With Ad Support enabled, Web Messaging cycles through up to 1000 ads, changing the displayed ad every 30 seconds.
- In IMail Administrator, select the mail host, then select the Web Messaging Ad Support tab.
- Turn on Enable Ad Support.
To create or edit an online advertisement:
- On the Web Messaging Ad Support tab, click Add. Enter the HTML code and text for the ad in the text box and click Apply.
The ad can contain up to 512 characters of HTML code. It can display a .gif file and can link to a web address (URL). If the ad is larger than the frame size, a scroll bar appears on the right side of the frame. Thus, an ad can be a full web page.
You can enter up to 1000 ads using the interface. The ad displayed on the Web Messaging page will be changed every 30 seconds.
The ads are saved in the ads.txt file. If you prefer edit outside IMail Administrator, you can enter and edit ads by opening ads.txt in an editor. There is no limit to the number of ads you enter in ads.txt.
To create or edit a trailer message:
The trailer (tail) message displays in the frame at the bottom of the screen if you have Ad Support enabled.
Select the mail host and click the Web Messaging Content tab. This must be a full HTML page, starting with <HTML><BODY> and ending with </BODY></HTML>. The trailer message is stored in the mailtail.html file.
A nice idea for using the trailer message is to use a Java scrolling text area to print any current news.
In addition to the above procedure, you can also edit mailtail.html directly in a text editor. mailtail.html is located at [IMail Top Directory]\Web.
