The reason I'm using Access is to re-arrange the structure of our database to the way IMail wants it. Since this database is used for several other things (such as accounting & RADIUS authentication), this is necessary since mySQL does not yet support views. As for why I don't use the dll you mentioned, refer to where I said "I'd try the .dll linked, but we had to modify ours to work with MD5 password hashes." If they provided the source, it wouldn't be much of an issue, as I could do the same thing to it that I did to mine.

James, if you are already using MySQL for other user information, then why
are you using Access for Imail????  Imail and MySQL work fine together.  You
just have to get the correct ODBCUSER.DLL file.  You can get one from

P.S. I've been using Imail and MySQL for years with no problems.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] UserDir being updated incorrectly in ODBC


Somewhat answered my own question, in that I found an ancient post in the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg4213 3.html). I'd try the .dll linked, but we had to modify ours to work with MD5 password hashes. And since the linked site does not provide source code or info on what it did, I don't think I'd be able to get it to work without changing our DB to store plaintext plaintext passwords. I tried changing the USERDIR field to a binary field, but that caused some problems. Any ideas on how to get this to work with MySQL? I'll look through some mySQL sources to see what I can come up with.

Thanks in advance,

We have a MySQL user database with all of our user information.  For
IMail, I have an MS Access file that queries the MySQL table and
re-arranges & renames fields into the format that IMail wants.

However,


whenever an email account is accessed (POP3 or WebMsg), IMail will
update the USERDIR and remove the backslashes (ie:
d:\imail\domain_net\users\bob becomes d:imaildomain_netusersbob).  This
will then recreate their user directory and has to be fixed manually.
Right now, I've removed Update privileges from Imail, but since this is
needed for the "TYPE" field, I'd like to get this figured out.  Either
getting IMail to update this properly or just stopping it from

trying to


update it would work fine.

Thanks for any assistance,
