Can roundcube manage more than 1 email account?
« on: August 03, 2010, 12:00:19 PM »
Hi,

We're running 3 webapps on 1 debian linux email domain. Each webapp has separate mail function.  We want to use roundcube to manage the 7 combined email addresses.  1 support person will be responsible for each of the 3 webapps' incoming email.

Therefore each support person needs to be able to log in to roundcube and manage the email accounts for their particular webappname (as below).

The email addresses are something like this:

newreg      .webapp1@domain.net
support      .webapp1@domain.net
replies       .webapp1@domain.net


webmaster .webapp2@domain.net
replies        .webapp2@domain.net

admin         .webapp3@domain.net
replies        .webapp3@domain.net

Can we manage this sort of arrangement with roundcube?  If not, is there a better app for this purpose?

I am not sure what you are asking, you can login into more then one account with RoundCube.

My post was a little unclear.  We need to accomplish the following:

Sorting of incoming mail to separate folders by the TO address.  Note incoming mail (TO address) will be of the same domain but will be separate addresses.  One webapp may have 3 address but I do not want to exit roundcube and relaunch it to see the mail from another address (from same webapp).

I suppose the question is can roundcube be configured to accept mail to different TO addresses based on a single roundcube log in?

Desktop mail apps allow multiple email addresses per user account.  The user often routes that mail to folders based on who it was sent TO.

RoundCube can only access 1 IMAP account at a time. But from what you said it sounds like you want all the emails from the various different address all forward to 1 central address and then have the emails sorted into different folders. Is that right? If so that's a job for the mail server not the client. RoundCube allows you to setup as many identities as you like ("from" addresses).
