MailEnable Server & Client Issues

Background:  

I have recently installed MailEnable Standard. I have ports 80, 143, 110 and 25 open and NATted (PATed) to the MailEnable Server.



Questions:

(1)  The website says that MailEnable Standard includes a webmail server.  There is painfully little documentation on this.  Does anyone know what the URL would be?  And is there someplace special to setup/customize/administer this?


 The Mobile client on my phone & Tablet are not working.  The mobile devices are different brands, different OS versions, and Different apps.

(2A) I setup the account using IMAP & it seems to connect without error, but I never receive any of the emails to to the account.    What am I doing wrong?  (A) Is the connection to the mobile apps set up wrong?  (because I am not receiving email there)

(2B) Furthermore, using my desktop client (Also, IMAP, where I can receive emails just fine) I have set up a number of sub folders.  These sub folders do not appear on the mobile email client on either device.  Are the folders not getting synced up to the server from the PC?  (Because they dont synch down to other devices).  And if not, why not?

Help!

Thanks!

Yes, all my DNS ducks should already be in a row.  This email server replaces a previous server (different software) so the MX record, SPF, reverse DNS, etc.  Should all be set up already.

Yes, I plan on implementing more secure connection soon, but If I cant even get the basics going.... whats the point?

The sub folders are under the inbox folder.  I have another email client on the server and it cant see the folders either.  They don't appear to be syncing up to the server from my primary email client (outlook).

Webmail says it's running, but when I go to 127.0.0.1 from a browser on the MailEnable server I get a generic IIS 8.5 screen.  I get the same when I navigate to the sever's port 80 from another box.  When I navigate there from a browser outside the network, I simply get "This webpage is not available.  ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".

Thanks.
I got the webmail to work.  I just didnt know the url.  It is localhost\mewebmail

Notibly, in the webmail client, all the folders are there and populated.  So the outlook client that is running on the server is synchronizing with the server.  

The remote clients are just not synching.  Why?  Does that use a different port?

Thanks.

Andrej Pirman provided the answer to the webmail issue.  
Further research yielded the answer to the remote/mobile client synch issue.

Thanks.
