That "set default address" page is a big improvement on X. Can't really see the changes you mention as we can't change anything in "set default address" (ie. set to :fail
. Just a question, if I set the default address to forward to a mailbox I create (such as [email protected]) the main mailbox still shouldn't show, the main mailbox should only show if it's being used (ie. the default address is forwarding to "username" email box).
This could work! I could see myself enabling the default address again on the servers with this new page, with hopes of it having a tweak settings function to
[x] disable the users abilty to select the :blackhole" (or whatever it will be called in x3)
That will conserve our CPU for users trying to override our default preferences especially when one of the users gets mail bombed and someone doesnt have chirpy's dictionary attack ACl installed. (or any other number of reasons the catch-all can pile up and bog down the machine)
Still doesn't deal with the "webmail" icon on cPanel main page or manage accounts though.
EDIT - Yes it does! The webmail thing is getting to be like it should
thanks Nick. One day I will make a push for automatic logins to each configured email address from the webmail icon, but for now, it is definately usable again! (especially on courrier systems)So I guess back to Freddo about hiding the main address from the manage accounts page. if that could simply vansh from that page I think a lot of us would be happy. If it has to appear perhaps it could appear on the "default address" page...*IF* it was setup to a local address.
But even then, its not really needed. If its enabled to forward to a local address, the user can easilly check the local "forward-to" address using the regular webmail icon.
Thoughts on that?

The wonderful thing of the new X3 is the new webmail interface. It is now language aware, fully editable, themeable and feature management support. 3rd-party theme provider, now has more job to do. If you has ability to customize cPanel. You can do the same thing for webmail. It is also allow adding more logic on the webmail interface. I requested this for over 3 years, finally it happens.
One flaw on the X3 I found, it seems addon-modules are not fully support. I need to manually edit file /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/cells/*.html to show the link to Fantastico and RVSiteBuilder. And my changes will be overwritten when cPanel update itself.

Heres how to do this:

Edit: this isnt' in EDGE yet
If I were to guess, you are not going to have much of a choice since it sounds like a replacement to X2. It will probably be installed on the server with a migration wizard then you can choose to upgrade or not migrate use old deprecated themes, So there will be plenty of time to evaluate it if its anything like how X2 was handled.
It is on the latest Edge. Theme name is x3, you need to modify account theme to x3 to use it. A lot of improvement. Most important thing you will be benefit is the integrated help. There are a few bugs though. I have a strong feeling all x2 need to move to x3 once it is released. Although cPanel told it is backward compatible with x2 but from the past experience I don't believe it. However, it is worth to move to x3. You will not regret.
I cant wait, this is going to be a nice upgrade. I kinda skimmed through this thread, so it would be nice if anyone could update me on when this will be out. I am very sure that my users will like it, it seems like it is a lot more visually appealing, and more decisive on like bandwidth for instance. In the current version it just has a number. In this one it has a nice gauge, and that will help alert customers that they are getting closer to running out. Due to the red that it shows up, but with the old one its just a number, and some users tend to neglect reading that and they don't even know what it means. The nice thing is with this they will at least know that they are getting close to the most they can use, and they will be able to talk to support about it.
You can e-mail me privately at [email protected], or post it here, which ever is easier.

RV Skin says it's there.
I can't verify it, don't really care to. I don't have any test servers to play around with and I don't feel like trying out X3 bad enough to put a production box on Edge at the moment....

Not sure why but the latest cpanel update (C56 >> C59) installed the x3 theme on one of my servers and not on the others that are running the very same version and were updated pretty much at the same time
