As Paul wrote, the easiest solution would probably be to write some code
for the vlogin plugin for your case.

Hm. Because Squirrelmail by itself is just a client, it usually leaves
this up to the IMAP server. How do your IMAP clients *know* which server
to connect to? :/

A more advanced solution would be to use Cyrus Murder setup. If
Squirrelmail supports at some time IMAP Referals and connects to the
right server every time, it will even save you load on the master
server.

Another idea would be to take a look at my ldapuserdata plugin. In this
plugin, among other things I am getting imapserver ldap attribute but
not really using it. Because I simply rely on IMAP server
authentication, that happens on LDAP anyway, you should really hack this
your own way and make some use out of it, or use it in conjuction with
vlogin and being very careful too. If you think that this could be
possible, check
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/squirrelmail/ldapuserdata.php and download
from my CVS rep.

BTW, you should really not disclose so many personal details (phone #s
etc) in public!
