Hi,
At the moment i get only empty mailbox when i try to click on Read User mail and select username or type in direct path. as in “This user has no messages in” - while cmdline and IMAP client shows new and old mesages.
relevant configuration(i believe) is quiet simple - i basically specified mail_location= sdbox:/var/mail… for dovecot.
Does Webmin support sdbox mailboxes in Read User mail ?
if it does not support it directly - is there a way to go through IMAP /dovecot to read the mails ?
Usermin in a Virtualmin configuration uses IMAP, by default.
I don’t know if the Webmin Read Mail module has IMAP support, but I would guess it probably does, since the Usermin module forked from the Webmin module ages ago.
We have no plans to implement other mailbox formats at this time. IMAP means we don’t have to think about it. (But, as I noted I don’t know if it’s in Webmin’s module, since I don’t read mail there.)
Thanks for pointing me to that little settings button on top. Completely missed it.
Mine looks a bit different than yours but still i do not see where i could specify IMAP settings or folders.
Am I missing something ?
is it possible to specify that in usermin config (highlighted)
if so click on a user that has an entry like the ones arrowed click on that user & use the pull down to change folder. If your not getting that I would look at the postfix & dovecot configuration
yes, I have the list of users but…
here is the situation:
i have 2 types of users:
with “one file” mailbox which is automatically created when i make new user(useradd … )
"multiple file/folder " inbox with files like “dovecot.list.index.log and ‘mailboxes’ folder” - This one gets created when i delete “onefile” mailbox and user receives first mail. I assume that is dovecot creating it automatically.
So when i click on a user which has “multiple files/folders” - it is just empty. there is nothing in dropdown.
When i click on a old, “onefile” username - i get permission denied and so far i could read mailbox only when i specify absolute path at the bottom of the list and press enter.(this one i do not care too much about if i can get IMAP - above solution working)
Why are using useradd rather than virtualmin to create a user ? If you create a user using virtualmin is the correct directory structure created in domain/homes/username ? If so does that read correctly ?
Ok no worries I have a webmin only system but if you just install the virtualmin module (this assumes you have postfix installed) and create a domain the user is correctly created. the edit domain looks like this
but I never installed dovecot as my intention was just to use the read user mail function to read email & didn’t need any dovecot handling of mail, but with a bit of tweaking you should be able to get this working I guess
