Please reply on-list, since as you can see, I don't really know
what I am talking about... (:
I hadn't thought about the case where your web server is not the
imap server as well, so you would actually want it to connect to the other
server.
I guess what you want in the default_host array is a flag to say
whether to just append the server name to the login, and connect to the
localhost, or actually connect to the remote host.

Hum.. Here I see I wasnt clear enough.
I try again.
Lets say I use $rcmail_config['default_host'] = array("slashdot.org","
microsoft.com"); in my config file.
I login as :
login : myname
pass : mypass
server : slashdot.org
From what I see, RC connects to the host "slashdot.org" on port 143, asking
for LOGIN [EMAIL PROTECTED] mypass .
I hope you are OK with that, otherwise I misunderstood something.
Now lets say the host "slashdot.org" is the dedicated web server, and the
imap server is "imap.slashdot.org". Now we have a problem because RC will
try to connect to the web server instead of the imap server. And if you
enter "imap.slashdot.org" in the $rcmail_config['default_host'] array, OK it
will connect to imap.slashdot.org, but asking for LOGIN
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mypass.
Is it OK ? If it is, then re-read my last mail please. If not, explain me
what i am wrong
I dont understand what you mean by "instead of handling the login itself".
Do you mean that it does NOT add @slashdot.org to the login when connecting
to the imap server ?
Thanks for your help anyway,

Hrm, that sounds like strange behavior to me. Does roundcube
really redirect your request to slashdot, instead of handling the login
itself?

Yes but this is a "server" field, so with your example, you get a
pulldown
menu with "slashdot.org" and "microsoft.com" and if I enter "myname" as
a
login, RC will try to authenticate [EMAIL PROTECTED] by connecting to
host
"slashdot.org".
OK in many situations that is fine. However, in my architecture, the
server
resolved as "mydomain.com" is not the imap server and cannot be it.
I suggest an array, or a mysql table, with 3 (or 4) fields
"display_name",
"domain", "host" (and maybe "port"). So in the login you can show the
"display_name" (for example showing "DELL France" instead of "
fr.dell.com")
then add the "domain" field to the RC login field to get the entire
email,
and finally connect to the "host" field (i.e. mail458.dijon.fr.dell.com,
and
maybe on "port" port) to make the request.
I hope i was clear enough because I'm not very good at explaining
things.
Thanks,

talking about a relation host/domain in the config file but I didnt

You know that you can do this, right?
$rcmail_config['default_host'] =
array("slashdot.org","microsoft.com");
