Hi Lorenzo;

I did something similar to this a while back; look at the whitepapers on 
the horde site about Scaling IMP - it talks about connecting to an LDAP 
server to determine where to find the user's maildrop (ie, which mailserver 
they are on, as for very large mail systems, that will change a fair bit as 
new users and servers get added).  That code is easily changable to obtain 
language, fullname, etc.     If you need a hand with it, I can answer 
questions, but it was fairly straight forward.   I've changed what 
direction I've gone with some of my changes so it would take awhile for me 
to find where that code was... but it really wasn't difficult. :)  Hope 
that helps!
