You are listing two separate issues, (i) login problems  with Outlook and (ii) login problems with webmail.  You need to provide more information.  About webmail, try https://192.168.1.1/webmail - substitute your local IP address for the one I used in this example.   Search the forums, there are quite a few posts on both topics.  Check the bugtracker at bugzilla (links on the left), there are also a couple of recent entries about your topics, it may help.  

If you still have a problem, please report it via the bug tracker, one problem per Bug.  Use the button/links located on the left or go to http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi - you may need to register. Please describe exactly what you have done and exactly what you see in response.

Hello Cgetty,  (i) you must enable webmail in server-manager - look under E-mail and set webmail for https. (ii) you can now test functionality by login as admin - user=admin password=the password you have given to admin when you first installed the system.  Ensure that you accept the certificate when opening webmail.  This should get you in.  Next, you can test a valid user on the server, this user has to be created under "user" in server-manager.  

If this does not work for you,  please report your problem to the bug tracker. Use the button/links located on the left or go to http://bugs.contribs.org/enter_bug.cgi - you may need to register. Please describe exactly what you have done and exactly what you see in response.
