Sorry I can’t answer your question regarding the specificity of where to click what. I am using Virtualmin Pro, so wouldn’t have a clue how the Virtualmin GPL (free) user interface looks like. From what I gather, Virtualmin Pro is much easier to use than Virtualmin GPL.
Virtualmin Pro is still under Early Adopter (EA) period so licence fee is cheap. Buy yourself a copy of VMpro while it is cheap. Joe said your licence will be extended by 1 year if you buy during the EA period.
By the way, I am not Virtualmin’s chief indian for sales and marketing. I am only a happy customer.
thanks for the info. we are actually using the pro version of vmin.
I can get into usermin without a problem. Thereafter when i click the "read mail" link i get a form asking me to login using an account that has access to the IMAP server.
i enter the same details there (i.e. username@domain.tld with the same password i used to get into usermin) but login fails and gives me:
Failed to connect to localhost:143 : Connection refused
i know we have setup dovecot to serve both pop3 and imap protocols, and these are both working from mail clients.
Dan Long - i used your suggestion to check the readmail module configuration.
The "Mail storage format for Inbox" setting was set to "remote imap server". i changed this to "Qmail style directory (Maildir)" and this worked perfectly.
No second login form coming up anymore when the user clicks "read mail"
