Silver,

All I'm sure of is that I haven't really understood what you are really 
trying to do probably because I haven't the time go go through your 
anwers again, but I'll make one more guess.  I am attaching a simple, 
one line, quick and dirty hack that may do what you want.

  If you are using horde Auth.
  If the url for horde access ends in the email domain.
    For example to access your email, silver at ultrasoft.ee
    you go to http://whatever.ultrasoft.ee.
    The change expects you to login as silver and will add
    @ultrasoft.ee transparently before authentication.
    and change the substitute pattern from mail|correo to
    your third level domain prefix.

It is based on today's head version but I've used it for a long time 
and should be trivial to find and substitute the one line in 
/usr/local/share/pear/Horde/Auth.php or wherever it is one your system. 
With the changed line.

Good luck,
