Regarding the login page: I have a site which is now using roundcube. The actual IMAP server is housing several different domains for mail exchange (more technically I believe mail.domain.com http://mail.domain.com gets routed to one server, where 'domain' could be several domains). The problem this creates is that on the login screen it is necessary for users to specify which domain they have an account on. So, for my username, I would put in 'webadmin@domain.com' (assuming 'domain.com http://domain.com' is my domain of course), instead of just my username. Anybody using this particular roundcube interface is going to also be from 'domain.comhttp://domain.com' and thus, it becomes pointless to have to specify the domain each time.
I suggest an option in the config file for automatically appending a string (in this case, my domain name) to the username that is put into the text box. This would be very helpful and perhaps might even act as a security measurement: only people from certain domains can login.
I haven't had time to look into the code myself and it's been awhile since I've programmed PHP, but I would be willing to implement this and submit a patch file or something. It just might take awhile for me.
Let me know what you think, and if it sounds like a valid feature to add, I'll join the mailing list and do what I can to help with the development of it.
Much thanks,

Dave,
I have attached a copy of an email I sent to the list earlier last week. It should help you with the domain problem. If nothing else, perhaps it will give you some idea of how to accomplish what you wish to.
Off hand, if you did not use this to auto-config the domain name, then perhaps you could at least have the PHP script parse your @domain.com to the value of your username variable.
Ok, so our company hosts several domains on one server. When implementing a software such as roundcube, we like to have one central install that eases the pains fo configuring and maintaining. Each domain hosted simply references the central install via sym-links.
Anyways, whether that makes sense or not, I wanted to setup a way that the login screen would figure out the mail server domain name without me having to manually set it in a config file or the user inputting it at each login. So, I basically switched out line 33 of main.inc.php with this line:
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'mail.' . '' . str_replace("www. http://www.", "", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
Basically, it takes the address in the address bar, removes the "www. http://www." and adds "mail." to the beginning of the domain name.
Ex) www.yourname.com http://www.yourname.com to yourname.com to mail.yourname.com
I am sure this all seems very basic and straight forward to the more seasoned programmer, but I was excited about getting it to work.
Hope it helps others in some way.
