I have to agree with Peter that switching profiles in TB seems like the cleanest solution for now. I'll watch bug #0001029 and if there is any way in which testing a change to this can help, let me know and count me in. ;-) Cheers, -- Martin Waschbüsch IT-Dienstleistungen Schumacherring 29 81737 München Telefon: +49 89 57005708 Fax: +49 89 57868023 Mobil: +49 170 2189794 E-Mail: serv...@waschbuesch.it Web: http://www.waschbuesch.it -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

[SOGo] access multiple users per Thunderbird account with connector
Hi everyone, Today I found a weird 'problem' concerning SOGo and Thunderbird Connector. I am unsure if this is something I should rather ask on the Thunderbird list? If so, please let me know. Also, I don't know for sure bug #0001029 is about the same thing or related? Anyway, my setup: - SOGo 1.3.12c on CentOS 5.8 - Thunderbird 10.0.2 on either Mac or Windows - Lightning 1.2.3 - SOGo Connector 10.0 The scenario: Imagine one of two possible scenarios: The same person / user wants to use more than one account on a given SOGo instance. Either because A) the server hosts multiple domains via one FQDN to access SOGo and the user in question has accounts for more than one such domain, or B) A server hosts only one domain, but the user needs access to two accounts on the same domain. The problem: The way the current setup works, it seems impossible to make TB do that, because it will 'remember' only one(!) username/password combo per host used, effectively blocking access to a second account on the same host but with different credentials. Has anyone found a solution for this problem? Is this a limitation in the Connector or in Thunderbird?
