Linux Mail Server User Accounts question

[akhalsa]

Hi guys

I am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.

I understand that linux mail server email accounts are actually just linux user accounts and I simply will need to reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forums!

Yes, login as root and use the passwd command.

Thanks for the help! I understand that it could also be done through virtual accounts using a Mysql database. I looked in mysql using the root log in and none of the databases seemed to have any tables which would match up to such a method of keeping track of emails. Is there anything I can do to make sure it is not being with virtual accounts?

Sorry, this is outside of my expertise. I've managed mail servers, but never used MySQL and virtual accounts.
