For a start, use a database to store user preferences and address books. This is already supported. Next, provide a replacement config.php that reads the SquirrelMail config settings from a database. That should not, in fact, be too hard, since config.php is nothing more than a series of $var = 'foo' statements, so you could replace it with a simple routine that read settings for a table. You could either have one lot of settings for all machines or have per-host settings. You could have both, come to think of it. -- Bruce A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now feeling as miserable as you.
