Which IMAP/POP server are you using or planning to use? There is a very good IMAP/POP server called Dovecot (www.dovecot.org) that can be made to cooperate nicely with Exim. > but i think i've to enter new domain & new users .. but there's already > siteadmin account but @ [] what should i put ? & what password should i use > ?.. i'm using MySql4 PHP4 & webmin-mysql on Debian Sarge stable version. > so .. my problem now is the logging to the interface of vexim... You can probably get better help from the vexim mailing list(s). But have you created a MySQL account for vexim and run the installation script or whatever creates the vexim database? Perhaps you need to enter the MySQL password "@ []". An advantage of *not* using vexim, cPanel or similar front-end products, instead rolling your own database setup and Exim config, is that you [have to] learn better how the Exim configuration works and therefore can ask better questions here. With those front-ends you typically can't go in and tweak the Exim config too much or you will break the functionality of the front-end. And a majority of the people on this list probably use neither cPanel nor vexim and thus can't tell how you're supposed to use them or how they interact with Exim without downloading the respective product. > 2- another problem IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE we've an exchange server which > our boss wants it down because of the costs he is paying to Microsoft > so Linux is what he is dreaming about .. everything for free ..

The peril of using proprietary software in the first place... :-/ Vendor lock-in is Microsoft's favourite game. According to http://www.netproject.com/docs/migoss/v1.0/windows-scenario.html (but that page is dated in 2003), "Exchange has no export facility so data migration must be done through a client connection." How many users do you have?
