I'm using Virtual Host with my A2T and I want to setup the following URL but im not sure how to in VH. Http://mail.mydomain.com. I have a mail folder inside my site root directory. How do I set this up in VH?

Thanks,

ServerName mail.example.com

You also have to set up a subdomain at your host(go daddy). I think that should be it.

I use No-IP.com and when u buy a domain, they automatically setup a mail.mydomian.com and ftp.mydomain.com

I have both of those running. What does the VH need to look like again?

You should just be able to copy the domain's VH but then change the ServerName. You might also want to find out what port the mail server is going to use. Once you find that you can change the <VirtualHost *:mail_port>

There should be a config option in the actual mail server application. Open up whatever your using and find the tools or preferences. Or there could be a .conf or .ini file. Check the vendor website for info on how to set up the actual mail server.

I know that I'm allowing IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 which use the following ports: 143, 110, and 25.

Do i need to do it for all of this?

I'm using RoundCube for my webmail.

Yes those ports will need to be opened, but then if you want the web based interface to work then you need to find out what port it is going to run on. Sometimes it will work on 80, but sometimes you may need to change the port. As long as the MX record is pointing to the server you should be ok.
