Maybe.  Depends on how your IMAP server authenticates.  If your IMAP
server uses MySQL, for instance, you could simply hit the database and
look for the name.  If it uses /etc/passwd, you'll have to look through
that file.

There are so many possible ways that it can be configured, there is no one
simple recipe to do what you are asking.  Regardless, it's certainly not a
Squirrelmail issue.. You'd have better luck checking your IMAP server
documentation.
