[imp] Corportive mailboxes

[fabricio]

Hello List,

I ask this same question every new avaliable IMP release.

I would like to implement the corporative mailbox concept found in MS Exchange
using Horde plataform.

That would be a mailbox not representing a person itself, but a department on a
company. The mail system admistrator should have the ability to assign such
corporative mailbox do one exiting user of the mail system. This user should be
able to:
1. receive messages sent to the corporative mailbox; &
2. send messages impersonating that particular department (the sender address
should be the corporative mailbox).

I realise IMP 4.x has added some provision in this direction. Nevertheless, I do
not know if it is possible, using IMP, to have a neat solution to this
question.

One possible solution, which I do not consider neat, is to create a
username&password able to manipulate the corporative mailbox and tell the
manager of the department this username&password. Over the time, someone else
may become the manager of that department and that would be a concern. And
there would be ever the possibility of such username&password leak to the
world.

Has anyone found another solution to this problem?

O top of that I would like to ask if courrier-imap server would fit in this
solution.

Best regards,
