Reading and writing e-mails on the server


Webmin gives you a convenient interface to read and write messages as any user of your system. This can be very useful when debugging mail problems, for instance, to check if a particular message reached a particular mailbox. Keep your users' privacy in mind of course.

How to do it...

  1. Navigate to Servers | Read User Mail.

  2. Click on the name of the user whose mailbox you would like to visit.

  3. You will be presented with a graphical interface similar to any mail program, which allows you to read the user's e-mail messages:

  4. Click the Compose button to see an interface for writing and sending a new message.

  5. Enter a destination address, message subject, and body.

  6. Click the Send Mail button.

How it works...

Webmin features a basic mail client program written in Perl. Thanks to this functionality, Webmin is able to read and write messages in your users' mailboxes.
