Hi everyone!

I have a question, is the default email address of a DA account an IMAP account?

I'm asking this, because i setted up the domain proyecta2.com in a server with DA, the user is proyecta2, so the default email address is [email protected]

When I try to set up this account as a pop3 in an outlook there is no way to make it work, but when i set it up as an imap account it works.

If this is how it works, is there a way to make it a pop account?

Thanks for your time,
Santiago Bermejo.
 
Where is the default address mailbox?

In DA, it says my default mailbox, called "admin" in this case, is up to 106MB. So I'd really like to be able to access this file and clean it out. Where on the server would it be?

Thanks - Jim
 
It's (perhaps not obviously) username: admin and whatever password you use to log in as admin to your control panel.

Best you should read it through a secure connection so you don't inadvertently expose the admin password.

For the future perhaps you should make it a forward to some other email address you do read regularly.

You can do that with a .forward file in your /home/admin directory.

Thanks. I actually tried that, and while it did log me into the mailbox, there were no messages there. I'm interested in knowing the path to the mailbox file. It's not in /var/spool/mail/admin (that file is empty), so it's hiding somewhere else...

Thanks - Jim
 
Depends on whether you're running mbox or Maildir. However it should be reachable by the login.

crisis averted. go about your business

Thanks for the help. I have no idea which I am running, but the problem has been solved.

Quite by accident, I moved my cursor over the text "107MB" where the email addresses are listed for an account. And up pops the little yellow text indicating that it's all in the spam box. Thanks, DA, for the helpful visual cue on that feature.

Well, now I know. And knowing is half the battle.
