I get "Unable to open mailbox" when using the email application

At the time of this writing (2000-09-27) you must use the same username and password in phpGroupWare that you use to log into your mail server. If you change your password and it still isn't working, try logging out of phpGroupWare (the rightmost icon in the navigation bar) and then log back in.

An preference page to edit the email settings is being developed, and should appear shortly after the first beta release.
