Marc gave all the right answers to your questions, but to this last point, I just want to note that the Vadmin plugin is designed to work with different backends, where each backend is made to interface with different mail system architectures..... VMailMgr is just one such architecture. Currently Vadmin comes with a backend that interfaces with VMailMgr as well as one that can interface with a SQL-based mail infrastructure. A proprietary one that works with local user accounts (in *nix) is also available, but currently there is not a backend that knows how to create accounts in a Windows O/S.
