I am not going to go into it but Torsten the tooth fairy is as real as santa claus.
I dunno where these urban myths come from especially about webmin.
webmin like the command line do many things that the zentyal interface can not.
Change the network settings in zentyal and you can end up with a broken system
Don't as if you think about it you could argue using a windows desktop you could break the system, are we going to say don't use it or be scared?
I spoke to James Cameron about it who is the main developer and he just hasn't bothered submitting it.
He is a good guy and has helped me with a few things.
He is happy with
http://www.webmin.com/deb.htmlapt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.690_all.deb
dpkg --install webmin_1.690_all.deb
create a network service webmin port 10000
allow just like the zentyal webadmin in the firewall
Its a lot easier for the noob for many tasks than the cli.
https://library.linode.com/email/fetchmail there are loads of good examples for fetchmail.
Some people seem to be stuck and in desperate need of fetchmail functions so I posted some info on how to do it.
I can't help that the fetchmail part of zentyal is missing until we get an update.
I am sure Zentyal will add it, but until then.
The easiest way to do your cronjobs is through webmin which zentyal just doesn't have. Its a bit like a general gui for linux admin.
It also has a file manager which is great as ftp isn't part of zentyal anymore either.
So its also good for creating the fetchmailrc file and setting its permissions.
I suggest for a noob to install webmin and ask the community if unsure.
Just my tip, if you have an alternative method please say.
set postmaster: Give the name of the last-resort mail recipient (default: user running fetchmail, "postmaster" if run by the root user). In case there is no delivery route
Also at the end of each mail poll you can add...
You will notice that the poll lines have different endings (e.g. nofetchall (default), fetchall, keep, nokeep). The meanings are as follows:
nofetchall: Retrieve only new messages (default). If nothing else is specified (e.g. fetchall, keep), this means nofetchall.
fetchall: Fetch all messages whether seen or not.
keep: Don't delete seen messages from server.
nokeep: Delete seen messages from server.
imap, pop3 or whatever protocol the account allows
