Hi,

I manually added user mail aliases using "shadowAddress" iattribute in LDAP.

When I login with an alias name to roundcube It creates a dedicated account.

Thus mail folders are shared between canonical name and aliases, but address book, settings and profiles -- are not.

Are there config settings to make roundcube to use single account for canonical name and aliases?

Thanks.

Well, but may be at least an option to block login by aliases?
I am afraid that users will be very confused when their settings and address books will "casually disappear" ... and it is too boring to explain this specific behavior to everybody.

In our old KOLAB (ROUNDCUDE based) all user internal mail addresses were mapped to the same account.
