Mail Options --> Re-Send Signup Email

issues

• this should be in Account Plans because it has nothing to do with the building of the Virtual Server.
• The menu item is still visible even though the option is disabled. I don't mind either way but I am sure Virtualmin likes to hide menus when the option is not available.

Additional

This option is currently doing a live look up from the server templates which is what I am advocating for Account Plan rather than the current legacy system where you push the settings to acccount.

I'm not sure this should be in account plans, as plans control only limits on what virtual server owners can do, like the number of domains or mailboxes they can own.

But I do agree that the menu item should be hidden!

Where exactly is this feature supposed to be enabled in the template?

[iliajie]

Plus, don’t we already have a “Re-Send Signup Email” button when editing the domain owner or mailbox user which is always shown!?

This feature is so niche — it doesn’t need its own menu link. I say we scrap it!

[shoulders]

Server templates should be reserved for setting up the virtual server, php versions and settings, does this server have mail etc .

Accounts/plans/features are things the user is allowed to do, quotas and the like.

Both have distinct roles and should be kept this way. 😃

I do note there is one page which I cannot remember it's name that absolutely should not be in server templates. I can post an image later today if needed.

Being allowed to resend a signup email is a user permission thing. Maybe restrict to reseller and admins?

That button is for mailboxes, the link in question here is for the domain owner. But I agree that maybe it doesn't need it's own rarely used menu item.

If you check my screenshot above, you’ll see it’s actually the page for the domain owner.

But I agree that maybe it doesn't need it's own rarely used menu item.

Then let’s remove that page and its link, and conditionally show the button directly on the "Edit User" page?

[jcameron]

Oh right, but for the domain owner it would be sending the email that explains how to login for email, which is a different template than the one for domain creation.

[iliajie]

In this case, maybe we could send two emails from different templates specifically for the domain owner to keep it simpler?

[jcameron]

I think that button should re-send the domain creation email, rather than having a separate link on the left menu

[iliajie]

For domain owner we could send to different emails — creation email and explanations on how to login. Right? And, yes, no extra link needed.
