[eGroupWare-users] Re: Inbox Doubt in FelaMiMail -- URGENT

Hi,

I've got my eGroupWare setup to add IMAP mailboxes when eGroupWare users =
are
added - this is what you need. This way, you do not need to use any other
application to create the IMAP mailboxes. I'm assuming that you're using
Cyrus IMAP server - I think this will only work with a Cyrus server.

Go to "Admin -> EmailAdmin -> Site Configuration" and select the profile
you've created for your IMAP/SMTP server.

On the "Global" tab, ensure that the "profile access rights" are set so t=
hat
ANY APPLICATION can access the profile.

On the "POP3/IMAP" tab, tick the "enable Cyrus IMAP server administration=
"
box. Fill in the Cyrus admin username and password.

If you have the Sieve filter, fill in those details too.

Save the profile.

Now when you create a new user in eGroupWare ("Admin -> User Accounts ->
Add"), the system will also create a new IMAP mailbox on the server. If y=
ou
then log in as that user, you should be able to go to FelaMiMail and see =
the
new INBOX (probably empty!), or at least you shoudn't get any
errors/warnings when you "Manage folders".

I use Webmin as a general admin tool for the server. It has nothing to do
with eGroupWare, but I can use it to double-check that the mailbox has be=
en
created, or create the mailbox manually. I can also then set a quota on t=
he
mailbox.
