So remedy this, run this command 
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x9e88 product=0x9e8f
and plug in the Plug to you computer viz the supplied USB cable. That will create /dev/ttyUSB0 by default. No use a serial terminal smulator to gain access. Minicom is what Marvell suggests in the manual, but gtkterm seems to be better. The best though, I find is good old scree. Yep screen. Just run: 
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
and you're in! You may find your device is on /dev/ttyUSB1 or up, just trial and error to get that sorted.

This identity is <username>@localhost. They can, of course, change this and setup more identities in the Settings, but they shouldn't have to. So I found a patch online and modied it slightly to detect the domainname used to get to roundcube and use that as the default domain. Its simply this: 
// replace $rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = '';   with:
$rcmail_config['mail_domain'] = preg_replace("/^[a-zA-Z]*\./i", "", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
Pretty neat huh?

"To split a screen in screen, its ctrl+a S, then ctrl+a tab to jump between the screens. In vim, its ctrl+w s to split the screen horizontally, ctrl+w v to split the screen vertically and then ctrl+w w to jump between the screens in vim."

Also, to resize the tab, you hit C-a and then type :resize n (n is the number of lines, also +n and -n to add or remove lines).
