I downloaded the latest version today and am having quite a few problems getting it to work.
Here's the scenario:
Fresh LINUX CentOS distro of 5.7, updated using yum.
Dovecot installed, configured and working (tested and verified through telnet)
I created a directory: /usr/var/www/html/webmail
downloaded and unzipped to that directory.
chmod -Rf 775 *
chown -Rf apache.apache *
Ran the http://mybox/webmail/install/index.php function
Configured the SQL, everything looked good, hit exit and removed /install
Internet Explorer 8 crashes when I go to //mybox/webmail to login.
I was forced to login with an email address, elbeit dovecot out of the box only takes usernames. This took a bit of tweaking in the /data/settings/settings.xml file to get it to finally work.
However, I cannot add new domains to the config through the admin panel, nor can I add any users.
It all seems kind of a clooge to me. Why not have all of the settings in SQL? Or have an interface to be able to change the settings without having to vim some file deep within the file structure?
After 8 and 1/2 hours of messing with this, I am finally able to get into the actual webmail. It's fast, and I like the layout.
Here's what I had to do for other CentOS 5.5+ users out there.
dovecot config straight from the box.
edit /var/www/html/webmail/data/settings/settings.xml
change:
LoginFormType to Login
UseLoginasEmailAddress to Off
DefaultDomainValue to (hostname) or (domain name)

Many customers don't like settings in SQL. Moreover, many customers use webmail in "no database" mode because they don't want any database at all.

There are no domains and no users in this webmail client. Domains and users are on the mail server only. Webmail simply passes login/password to the email server, that's all of it.

Could you please provide more details on this?
