Yes, that's precisely the frustration that we have on this box. Seems insane, 
but there can be (and are) overlapping usernames across domains hosted on this 
server. One of the first mailboxes anybody sets up on domains on Kabissa 
is 'info@domain.ext' - the next one is 'webmaster@domain.ext'. So we have 
hundreds of overlapping mailboxes. :-( 

It's a huge problem for IMP, but IMAP doesn't care - the passwords have to be 
unique and it seems to use these to figure that out. Maybe this is a particular 
issue related to PLESK servers - I don't know, but I'll check their support 
forums. 
 
> sorry,

Don't be sorry - I'll get there sooner or later! Thanks for the help! These 
ideas are bringing me further in my quest. If someone has some experience with 
these hooks and can help me write the vinfo function please drop me a line. I 
think it should be possible. 

Cheers,

Tobias
