admin gui only in German

[JumboMessiah]

All,

I have an issue where the admin gui only comes up in German. I can't get it to come up in English. I have the locale for the oxadmin user set to 'en_US' but it appears this isn't helping. I see in the log where it grabs the user info for oxadmin:

]

But it appears this isn't what it's needing. Anyone have any advice or areas of interest I should be looking at?

One other note, it appears the admin interface is attempting to connect to the imap port on the localhost interface. I need it to connect to an external host as defined in the imapserver column of the user entry for oxadmin:

tethereal -n -n -i lo port 143
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
Capturing on lo
  0.000000    127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1    TCP 2316 > 143 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=32792 Len=0 MSS=16396 TSV=12997781 TSER=0 WS=8

Could this be causing the locale issues?

Got it now, the failed IMAP connection keeps the admin gui from obtaining the full user record of the oxadmin account. It appears that not using the imapServer column in the user table is a current shortcoming of the interface.

The code in the method public IMAPStore initImap(final Credentials cred)
open-xchange-admin-plugin-imap/src/com/openexchange/admin/rmi/impl/OXUserIMAPImpl.java

    public IMAPStore initImap(final Credentials cred) throws OXUserIMAPException {
        final User user = new User();
        if( cred == null ) {
            throw new OXUserIMAPException("credential object is null");
        }
        user.setName(cred.getLogin());

        user.setPassword(cred.getPassword());

        return this.initImap(user, null);
    }

Uses a dummy User() object. Therefore, the admin gui always defaults to localhost. I'm sure this will be refactored in the future.
