Perhaps you don't understand what's trying to happen here. IMAP access is fine. What I am talking about is correctly populating the various Identity fields upon first login. Due to the fact that our mail system handles 14 separate domains/organizations but uses a shared username space, the email address for the identity can not be constructed by RC, it must be looked up and entered there. Since we don't trust the users to do this properly on their own, we want to populate this field automatically, which is what the virtuser plugins are designed to do. The virtuser_file plugin does a lookup of the address from a sendmail/postfix style virtuser file, and adds the address to the identity.
For future reference, we use new_user_identity to auto-populate the Display name field (comes from LDAP), and squirrelmail_usercopy to populate the Personal addressbook and copy over signatures if any.
I will admit that it would be simpler if the new_user_identiy plugin could grab and populate the email address from LDAP as well as the Display name, or if squirrelmail_usercopy could get it from the squirrel prefs. Seems convoluted to have to use three different plugins to get the Identity populated.
