Duh. OK, user error on my end (as server admin).

It turns out I was the person logging into the DAs account to view his 
email. I was quite confused, which prompted the previous message.

A suggestion I think:

If somewhere in the users profile that he can see, if it said "WebMail has 
been disabled by the server admin" or something, then the user would know 
why he can't read his mail on-line, and also know to contact the server admin.

Again, this was me, acting as the DA getting confused... One can assume the 
SA (me) is smarter than the DA, so if I was confused, perhaps CPX needs to 
make it more clear...

For the end user, perhaps he should see the same set of capabilities that 
the SA can set, i.e. webmail, spamassassion, clamav, but for each, have an 
indication if he can enable them, or if the server admin had disabled them 
for his account. If there was such a summary, I would have seen that and 
said "Oh, the SA needs to enable webmail for this DA (or end user)"

Thoughts?
