How do I go about resetting "admin" email password?

Even though I can reset the DA admin user's password, I have not been able to find out how to reset the email user "admin" password.

Am I just clueless or someone has an answer?

Hello,

They're linked together. Ssh/DA/Exim/vm-pop3d/imapd all use the /etc/shadow file for the admin pass. For smtp auth, /home/admin/.shadow would be used, but that should also be updated if you set your password through DA.

I have reset the password for DA, but that password is rejected when I try to login to webmail or just POP3 directly.

Anything I missed?

Is vm-pop3d running? What do you see when you login to POP directly? (pop headers from the server)
