Create/Edit Users

If the currently selected domain is an external domain (hosted by an external mail server), "New User" button will create external users. External users are created in WebMail Pro only. If you don't use WebMail Pro, creating such users makes no sense.

The above screenshot illustrates creating user in a domain which was previously created in "Domains" section. If you choose "Users not in domain" in "Domains" dropdown, you'll see a bit different set of settings (the screenshot below). This is because settings missing on the first screenshot are taken from the appropriate domain settings.
