Dear All
I have got partial success with postfix setup. So far I am able to do

1. Access the postfix admin
2. Was able to login to postfix admin
3. Created one more admin account
4. From newly created admin account sent a mail to my gmail account, and I
received that mail.
5. I am able to add a domain
6. I was able to add a virtual mailbox

However many things are NOT working. Things that I have observed NOT
working are

1. Not able to login to mailbox through roundcube
In link https://www.example.com/webmail/ (after security exception
confirmation) , I entered the user at example.com and password.
It says "*Connection to storage server failed.*".

Any idea why it happen?

I checked my /home/vmail path. I hope here there will be individual
folder/file for individual mailboxes (not sure though). Did not see any
file/folder as of now.

Kindly guide why it gives "*Connection to storage server failed.*".

Thanks
Austin
