You still are not stating clearly what the issue is. If you are not looking to change this, what are you looking to do? Is this the problematic email account that is merely a local account that is actually just "username" (sans the domain)? Where is this user logging in to SM (URI, etc)? What do you want it to look like when the user does so?

Please do not assume we understand how your hosting setup works. I am only inferring here, but you need to clarify. What I am inferring is that you have just one SM login at some domain for your hosting company through which users are to log in (why not give them their own login through their own domain? You can even use Vlogin to alias the domain-specific SM pages to your main one, so you only have one SM installation you maintain, but it looks like everyone has their own SM installation. Then you don't need to force the users to type so many unecessary keystrokes and they can log in at their own domain. If you want to be more restrictive than that, well, I won't buy hosting from you, but that's your call. In that case, then what is the question? > >> user accounts is on my main site, and is the only way they can login to > >> their webmail so Vlogin wouldn't work at all.

No sarcasm. I am 100% serious that you should provide examples. -- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting Guidelines: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/MailingListPostingGuidelines List Address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List Archives: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
