Set up email accounts on a VPS

I've just been set up with a new VPS and have not yet moved my domain over.

I'd like to set up email accounts for the domain, how do I do that through the Webadmin? It is not obvious, thanks.

You can create the user via Webmin: System--> Users and Groups--> Create a New User.  This will be the user account that holds (stores) the emails for users until they pick them up. You can also add aliases to the email id so that it would go to a particular mailbox. For eg: test@<yourdomain.com to  <someemailid>. You can add the aliases from Sendmail Mail Server--> Mail Aliases.

Do I need to specify any special Group Memberships?

Also once I move my domain what will users log in to:

mail.mydomain.com
<username>+<mydomain.com>
<password>

Thanks

Not required.

You can use

mail.mydomain.com or IP address

<username>
<password>

OK, I have this set up and can connect with pop3 and IMAP. Now for smtp...

Port 25 is blocked by my ISP so I have to open an alternate port (26?) and enable only authorized smtp. Can you offer some direction? Thanks

Hi - I have enabled port 26 on your VPS. Please verify it at your end. Thank you
