There are a couple of ways of changing "Username" to email address.  

 

The easiest one is to go into the html for the login.aspx page and find the
control with an id value of "lblUsername" and then add visible=false inside
of its tag.  This will hide the text that we generate.  You then can put
"Email Address:" or whatever else you want either before or after the tag
and it will show up when user's view the login page.  The only drawback to
this method is that it will say "Email Address:" no matter what language the
user chooses.  Also please note that you may need to add a font tag around
the text with the proper class to get it to look like the rest of the text
on the page.

 

The next method is to create your own language file.  In this case, you
would create an English language file which is basically the same except for
having that one particular value changed.  This KB article explains how to
do this:

The value that you will want to change in the language xml file is called
"lblUsername".  Please note that creating your own language file is a more
advanced task and that you are only changing it for English.  Someone using
another language (Spanish for example) would still see the translated
version of "Username:".

Subject: [IMail Forum] Username vs Email Address prompt on login screen

 

As one of the hold-outs that stayed with IMail version 8 a very very long
time,  I have to give kudos to Ipswitch for version 10.1.  We upgraded a few
days ago and aside from a couple small issues (my fault), the process went
smoothly.  So far my customers have responded positively and we're happy
with the admin interface. I've been with IMail for a very long time and am
glad I stuck with it.

 

One question.  On the webmail login screen, the prompt is labeled
"Username".  In the previous version, we changed that prompt to "Email
Address" and it greatly reduced support calls.  I can't seem to find a way
to change this prompt in version 10.1.  Is there a way to do this?   If not,
can someone please put this on the wish list for future updates?

 

Thanks,

-Gary
