No, it would not make sense either as user1@domain1 should normally be th same as user1@domain2 in the SME Server architecture, therefore addition of a username has no value.

Since SME Server does not allow for usernames with a dot, you will have to stick to the SME Server username that is configured for the mail account (with the firstname.familyname or firstname_familyname syntax).

You can partially do this, but it takes some work.  Create your additional domains.  In server-manager you can create a user as user.one, user.two, etc.  Then in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/conf.php, change the server_list option under //160MailServerSettings from none to shown.  What you will see are the entries that are in /home/httpd/html/horde/imp/config/servers.php.

So what you will now see when you go to webmail, is an extra option at the top that says choose a mail server.  User settings are stored in mysql as userid@domain.com, i.e. user.one@domain1.com, user.two@domain2.com. 

Now the downside.  The current architecture of SME server does not allow it to distinguish whether a user belongs to domain1 or domain2, so user.one could choose either server option and still login.  What would be lost are any user specific settings made while logged in to one of the domains.  So you would need to educate your users.

So, it's doable, but maybe not practical.

The Problem I have is I have multiple domains on the same server...

I want the user to login to the Webmail using his email address and password, as most users dont know what their username is...

eg rather name.surname@mail.com

then

web3_namesurnamecompany

with the password...

Causes confusion, surley horde can be configured to allow email logins??

Ummmm, You suggest your users can remember username@theirdomain, but cannot remember just username on its own !!??

[shawnbishop]

I would suggest that....this is why..

so this is my email address

john.doe@email.com

but my username in the SME Server is the following...

web3_johndoecompanyname

which is harder to remember, as users start asking . "Why the web3" in front of my name.. etc...

The users are setup like that as I have multiple domains, with users with the same name on the different domains, believe it or not have 3 x John Smiths on the server...so I add the company name at the end of the username..
