I need a Webmin module that works with Courier-imap. So far I've only found imapadmin-0.6.wbm (http://www.nwe.de/develop/) . Docs says:

It's interface should, in theory, work with any RFC compliant IMAP server, but I currently have only tested it against Carnegie Mellon University's Cyrus IMAP and Mirapoint's IMAP servers. It does a CAPABILITY check for specific extensions to see if they are supported.

I have no idea what extensions this is in reference to. There are no remote administration extensions to IMAP, of any kind, as far as I know.

The closest thing I can think of would be the usage of #other namespace to create/delete mailaccounts, but that does not allow any way to set an explicit password for newly created mail accounts.

Let me rephrase my needs: I've set up the mailsystem based on sendmail/procmail and Courier-imap, added what's needed in /etc/skel, ie Maildir's gets created... The mailadmin, who knows nothing about Un*x, only needs to add/delete mailusers/aliases etc..., all done with Webmin.

Before switching from pop to imap, the mailadmin could enter users mailboxes and delete virus-attached mails. Yes, an antivirus system does run, and I filter a range attachments to /dev/null, but this is an educational institution; an occational virus cannot be avoided. All I need is to access Maildirs; if only Inbox, still better than nothing.

I got my perl problem sorted out, imapadmin installed, but of course it doesn't support Courier-imap. I see on the Webmin Modules Wishlist I'm not alone in those needs. Might try writing the module myself, otherwise I don't see how my above mentioned mailadmin can get the (limited) job done.

The only other thing I can think of is ACL, which Courier-IMAP doesn't implement, and all that it does is provide a way to set permissions on individual mail folders. Big deal.

As Jason put it: Bloody useful. I could easily use that feature.
