admin Email Account Retrieving ALL Email?

[n0d3]

Ok, my default admin DA account has this default admin email account created no? Which I believe system messages and what not goes to it.

So I tried creating an IMAP account in my email application with the admin account and strangely enough it listed all the other mailboxes on my server and the emails within (for those who use webmail/IMAP since those who use POP3 have their messages taken off the server when retrieved).

Is this normal?

Please be more specific.

What do you mean by creating an IMAP account? What exactly did you do?

And what do you mean by [/b]listed all the other mailboxes on my server[/b]?

My only imap client is squirrelmail.

When i use squirrelmail to log in to my admin account all I see is the usual:

INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.Trash

Ok, maybe I phrased it wrong. I use .Mail for Mac (e.g. something like Outlook Express for Windows).

I created a new mailbox (in .Mail, not the server) to retrieve bounce messages from majordomo which get sent to [email protected].

After I take the mailbox online, I see Inbox blah blah, however, I see OTHER accounts which I have created for family members on my domain which appear under the main "admin" mailbox.

E.g. [email protected] appears etc.

Heres a screenshot.

Since you blurred the screenshot it's useless.

It's probably useless anyway.

What do you see when you log in through squirrelmail?

Under IMAP Account in the screenshot, I have three domains under the admin account, a .org, .net and a .com. And all the mailboxes under those domains appear as in the screenshot, I just blurred the names of the mailboxes.

Under Squirrelmail its fine though. Maybe my client is just retrieving too much stuff.

Squirrelmail is an IMAP client. If it's doing it right, then the problem may be local client related.
