Re: [webmin-l] Usermin with Maildor question

[Richard C. <rch...@aa...>]

Hi David

Thanks for your help.
I think I have postfix correctly set up - as postfix/imap/squirrelmail 
are all working correctly. My problem is only with usermin. I can't hind 
any "pop up help" on the usermin "read mail/preferences" page - but I 
did try changing the relative "Mailboxes directory under home directory" 
to "Maildir/" as you suggested - but it didn't seem to make any 
difference. Displaying my "inbox" with Usrmin "read Mail" still shows an 
onld mailbox rather than my current one.

Richard.
