dovecot - Jun 2013 - MySQL tables and official documenttation

Dear all,

Unfortunately, i created my tables according to the older tutorial, i
search in dovecot.org and postfix.org but i didn't find any official
documentation for tables.
I want to use PF 2.10 and dovecot 2.
Its tutorial was wrote on debian etch. eatch is very old.

Because Dovecot wiki says:
"Dovecot supports user authentication against a MySQL-database."
(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/FeatAuthMysql)

my guest would be that you are trying to find the definitions which are 
given here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL

(but that could be my problem ;)

You'll want to look at the following website for postfixadmin stuff:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/
http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/

Roughly, the install process is:

1. Create a database user in mysql and create the database
2. Install the postfixadmin tgz contents somewhere under /var/www
3. Fire up your webbrowser and point it at the postfixadmin setup.php URL

If you follow the install directions, the postfixadmin page will create 
your database for you.  After which you can start populating the 
database with domains, mailboxes and aliases.

(Installing RoundCube is a similar process.)
