[imp] Request for help: virtual domains, overlapping prefs, shared folder problems, ...

[tobias at kabissa.org]

Oops - beware of incorrect mail headers in my earlier message. I misaddressed 
it accidentally to imp@lists.kabissa.org instead of imp@lists.horde.org and 
then foolishly used IMP's "redirect" feature to send it on to 
imp@lists.horde.org. Replies directly to tobias@kabissa.org or to 
imp@lists.horde.org please! :-)

Best, 

Tobias
