Of course, different mail accounts may have the same actual password, but they are still distinct entities. As far as setting up the mail accounts go - this can be done in a number of different ways, depending on each individual system configuration. As far as sqwebmail is concerned, a login ID is just a means to identify where the primary maildir for that mail accounts exists. The login ID can be translated to the maildir path by any one of half a dozen different ways - by looking up the login ID in the system password file, and using $HOME/Maildir, or by looking up the login ID in an LDAP or a MySQL server, etc... Ditto for passwords. There is no substantive difference between 'user' and 'user@domain'. Both are just arbitrary login IDs whose mail can be found somewhere in the filesystem. How to configure so that a certain login ID points to a certain maildir path is discussed, in detail, in INSTALL and several other documentation files. -- Sam
