1. How to Remove "/mail"

If you don't want to use the Webmail address like "http://mail.yaozhi.com/mail", but still hope to use "http://mail.yaozhi.com", then you only need to change the IIS folder from "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot" to "c:\AAMail\web". More details, please refer to How to Change Webmail URL.
