Hey all, every so often we have this discussion about the hostname in the
preferences db. It is quite a hassle for us to have the imap hostname be part
of the preferences. For instance, we allow some customer service people to
impersonate customers, and only 1 specific imap server allows impersonation,
which is only accessible through internal networks. But then we cant have these
customer service people actually interact with settings..
I went into the code a bit, and maybe this is a workable solution. There seems
to be only 2 times when the hostname is used to interact with the db. One in
rcube_user::query(), and one in rcube_user::create().
Interestingly, create() has a plugin hook, which allows you to modify the
hostname. But query() does not.
The code that calls query() is in rcmail.php.

What if we add a plugin hook there (or actually in query()), so you can modify
the created hostname during login? That way, this can all be done using plugins
and people that want to can set a static hostname for preferences.
