Hi cubes,
We are in the process of migrating some 20.000 users of openwebmail to RoundCube. So far it has been painless, but now we have stumled across a problem. Openwebmail allowed address book entrys to have more than one email address associated, enabling users to send to groups of people. This is not possible in RoundCube and poses a major set-back for us. Does any one have any ideas how to circomvent this problem?
Another possibility would be to be able to create multipe address books and mail all users in a book, but this also does not seem to be an option?
From an email yesterday to the -dev list:

Hey Thomas,
I installed the newest svn to start testing the address book and I
had a few questions.
- is it possible to grab more data from ldap or possibly where I
might define some extra data for lookups.
The local address book doesn't currently support more address
fields. For now, the LDAP data is stuck to that restriction as well. The
extension of the address book is planned and with the new architecture, it
should be easy to grab more data from LDAP directories once RC knows how to
display them.
So it looks like it's planned, but I'd guess that would be a post rc1
thing. I don't imagine it would be too difficult to hack something
like that in yourself, but to do it right and get it merged back into
RC might take a bit more work.

This info is from the dev list. but as far as sending to diffrent groups of people espicaly on such a large scale i dont think this is the best method anyways. you should setup mailing lists for such groups you might want to check out something like mailman or doing via custom settings in your MTA. I migrated from openwebmail lots of features and very matured but painful to maintain.

The big problem there is that's not nearly as integrated or easy for
users to deal with. I can only imagine what my users would say if I
asked them to use mailman for anything.

Maybe so but at the same time I dont realy think of a webmail client as needing such features as that is a more intensive function. I would expect a contact manager to do such things or outlook. Also if it is realy required you could always write a custom method to do it. We have built an interface for user management along with the ability to create mailing lists through our website that generates the needed steps for the mta to handle such things.

Friend,
I was in the same situation and obtained of another form. In the RC I commented the parameters Javascript that did not allow to the same add some addresses of email in field; thus, I obtain to create a new contact with some separate accounts of email for ",".
If this to interest to it, I can show to it what you must comment. It forgives the bad English. I am Brazilian.
