Here is what we use in imp/config/conf.php:
$conf['hooks']['vinfo'] = 'imp_get_vinfo';
if (!function_exists('imp_get_vinfo')) {
function imp_get_vinfo ($type = 'username') {
if ($type == 'username') {
return strtolower($_SESSION['imp']['user']);
} else {
return new PEAR_Error('invalid type: ' . $type);
}
}
}
We had a similar problem here, although I don't remember users seeing an
empty mailbox. Our users would have different prefs in imp if they
changed case. This forces all imp logins to lowercase.
