Re: [webmin-l] while we're at it (cyrus imapd)

Usermin isn't really the best mail reader to use with cyrus, although that hasn't stopped people from trying :-) It really works best with more traditional mail stores, and has the advantage that it runs with the correct permissions to access all mail files directly.

It may be better to instead use a web-based mail reader more suited to LDAP, such as squirrelmail..

I cannot conceive of a method with which to configure 'Read User Mail'
module to use cyrus mail folder storage

/var/spool/imap/c
                 /user/craig
                            /subfolder
                            /subfolder
                 /user/charles
                            /subfolder
/var/spool/imap/r
                 /user/root

files are all owned by cyrus:mail (not that it should make a difference)

and IMAP subscriptions/seen/ & cyrus mailboxes db are in another tree
thought this wouldn't matter since you don't do IMAP at all with the
webmail implementation and I'm thinking that it could be havoc to give a
user access around cyrus and the mailboxes db would be none the wiser.

So I spent only a few minutes trying to figure out how to configure the
module, decided that it didn't lend itself to the mbox/maildir and user
home directories slant the module relies upon.

It's not important to me - just wondering if I am missing the blindingly
obvious.
