First things first -- AWESOME module!!! I'm planning to create me own 1GB e-mail service and this will work great. :)

However, I have a few issues:

First, and most important, how can I delete admin e-mail accounts? I created one, but messed up. Create a second and it worked. But I can't delete the first one. :( Any advice is appreciated.

Second, do I use the POP or PHP setting? I see this ties in with cPanel, which is what I want it to ultimately do and allow users to create their own e-mail account on the server. How exactly do I need to set this? And, can users check their mail through Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc.?

Third, is there a way to have ads appear in the signature?

Fourth, why do users have to go to http://mcclimans.us/modules/webmailfx, but can't go to http://www.mcclimans.us/modules/webmailfx? All my modules are like this ... www doesn't work with the modules.

And finally, is there a way to offer a paid e-mail service. So, let's say I want to allow an upgrade to 3 GB (beating the competition) ... can I do that?

BTW ... if you want a free e-mail account ... give it a whirl.

Ugh!!! I was going to test WebMail FX in its creation of a POP3 account within cPanel. It told me that a user e-mail account can't be created, even though permissions are set to allow it. My guess is there is some hang-up between the module and cPanel. Any suggestions?

Don't understand this. Could you explain it again, with an example?

It depends on which system you want to use for sending mails:
-POP ->it uses standard popservers: if you have a pop account, use this. Tipycal examples are pop.blabla.com or mail.blabla.com;
-PHP -> it uses the standard PHP Mail () function: you don't need any account on any mail provider. Sent mails are linked to the XOOPS user (his name is displayed);
-SMTP - used for receiving mail. Tipycally: smtp.blabla.com or mail.blabla.com
In the case of POP=SMTP=mail.blabla.com you could use the POP=SMTP option.

Yes: just put what you want in the space designed for hosting the footer messsage in all sent emails (Admin/Preferences)

Don't understand this. I visited your website and though the homepage looks like http://www.mcclimans.us, when I go to a module it looks like mcclimans.us

This could be possible, perhaps, when IMAP will be fully functional. I believe it has better tools for managing user-account quota.

P.S: if you want to provide email accounts we could use it for testing...

for the 4th problem: check your mainfile.php, if your XOOPS_URL is set to mcclimans.us and not http://www.mcclimans.us, there's your reason.

The first e-mail account I created in the admin e-mail section wasn't right. However, I'm unable to delete it. It's just there, showing error. Created a second one, with correct settings, and it works great. Everything works, but seeing the error message on my original attempt is ugly.

You're free to use my e-mail service for testing. Just sign up for an account on my site and your on your way. No questions asked. :) Test away.

Still looking on why users can't create an account. Here's your chance to test the situation.
