Just a slight correction on my last statement though; e.g. usually most
web-based mail clients I have come across (except Sqwebmail) use pop3/imap
to collect mail from the server it gets pointed to, so if you ever
serve/use this type of a web based mail client on the same machine that
vpopmail is run on then you have to get qmail-pop3d (or something)
listening and serving pop3 requests on this machine also; albeit to serve
only "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 or whatever...
