changeset 7503:7b6278da3faa

Update roundup-mailgw install with other methods; formatting reference admin_guide.html for alternate imap/pop methods (imap_oauth or apop etc.) Change example written intline into an exampe as line wrapping distorts whitespace (space removed if line is wrapped) and needs to be presented in a pre example section.
