Usernames and imp-webmail.

[Christiaan den Besten]

Thanx,

That fixed the problem. I was not aware that these things could be

Use username_tolower: yes

You can also easily fix imp to lowercase usernames. [ done :) ]

I suspect that our version: 2.1.16 does not seem to support this feature.

Thanx again all for your help !

bye,
Chris
