It has to do with the way Thunderbird stores and uses passwords. Thunderbird distinguishes passwords by the machine name and domain part only. So if you use an IMAP account which points to imap://somemachine.domain/INBOX, then Thunderbird will only use 'somemachine.domain' to remember the password. In the default installation, SOGo and IMAP are on the same machine. Therefore Thunderbird only can use one password for it. And as most installations will configure IMAP first anyway, overriding that already set password is not a good idea. > Also, IU just thought of something else that I hope will not be a problem. > > We have a number of email accounts that are used by multiple people. > Each of these users have these accounts configured in Thunderbird. > > Will this be a problem? > > Does Integrator not support multiple email accounts in Thunderbird?
