I am using Mail server: Qmail+VPopMail. The config of 1.720 is default which is : Mail Server Installed:" qmail+VpoMail User Mail file directory : Maildir Mail file directory style : mail/username Mail file in user home dir. Mailbox Folders subdirectory under home dir. mail Usermin Read Mail Config. dir. in home dir : usermin/mailbox

I think Virtualmin/Webmin dropped support for Qmail somewhere past year. Not 100% sure so wait for official response, but this could be the reason why only works with old Webmin.

No, that's not correct.

QMail is still supported. We dropped support for QMail-LDAP which is a different thing altogether; a fork of QMail that hasn't been maintained in about a decade. We don't recommend QMail, because it's also pretty sporadically maintained and has no benefits over something like Postfix at this point, but we do still support it.

Sounds like a config problem. I've never used vpopmail, so I don't know anything about how it's laid out. But, it looks like your config is a little off.

You've got Maildir spools, right? So, the "mail/username" looks like an mbox configuration. You need a Maildir configuration if your mail is in Maildir spools (which, as far as I know, is what all QMail deployments would be).

Thanks Joe for help. I have on both servers with webmin 1.720 and latest exactly the same configurations. On User mail file directory I have Maildir and mail file directory style is: mail/username , Folders subdirectory under home dir is : mail

It shows the users but wont open any mail.
