    The inbox is a folder on your account. its located in /home/cpaneluser/mail/domain.com/

    All 3 webmail clients access this inbox using the IMAP protocol which is the same way as if you set your local email reader to use IMAP instead of POP3, all the email is stored on the server instead of downloaded to your PC.

    IMAP is the only way to make email useful IMHO.

    Default Webmail Question

    Thanks for the reply Mat. I created another email account in Outlook and set it up as an IMAP account. My version of Outlook which in newer wouldn't work with the "Configure Email Client" so I set it up manually and sent and received several test messages so I know everything is configured correctly.

    One more question, when I deleted these messages from the new Outlook inbox email account, they didn't move to the Deleted Items folder, there was just a strike through the message to indicate it had been deleted. I logged into webmail and there were the messages marked as being deleted but still held on the server. Will I have to periodically check the server to dump deleted messages or will they be permanently dumped after a set period of time?

    Thanks again!
