Hi,

In horde, my student have a default_identity whith his student's from_address
obtained from LDAP and all locked.
On my mail server, i 've got a virtual_address 
(secretariat_student at domain.tld)
which is redirected towards the student's address.
So, by imp, he receives these own mails and mails from the functionnal box.
The problem: He can't send mail with the functionnal from_address box, 
only with
his own student's from-address.
Notice: to date, this is a redirection, but it will be a functionnal 
box shared
by the student with rights access (we use Cyrus imap). Log in horde with his
student's account and then see the mails from the shared box. The problem is
the same as before, he can't compose message with the good from_address.

So i need for this student two fields "from_address" (his own and the
functionnal).

Thanks for all yours answers and yours reflexions.
