False email address generated at login #1339

Open be-nito opened 7 years ago

be-nito commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I am a French user. I recently installed Rainloop on my yunohost server. This works fine, only problem, the email address generated by Rainloop is different from mine. My login is benjamin, but my email address is benjamin.martin@myserver.fr. Rainloop opens my account as benjamin@myserver.fr. This poses a problem because my mails are sent with the address benjamin@myserver.fr which is unnecessary. Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could add an identity under Settings -> Accounts -> Identities but I agree that isn't ideal.

Just configure the user mapper plugin with benjamin.martin@myserver.fr:benjamin

Then login with the email address and RainLoop will l map it to the user name for login at IMAP and SMTP.

This is a solution for one user. For 3 user its annoying. If you have LDAP backend this gets insane. Of course using email address as uid has its benefits but also lots of disadvantages - especially if you use the authentication for more than email.

Please consider fixing this by adding the possibility for using an independent login.
