Indeed. What you say is true. However, I found that if auth is done (handled)
by your IMAP server (UW-IMAP in my case) the ~/.mail_aliases located in the
users ~/ (home) directory are expanded and they appear(ed) in the dropdown
in the personal preferences (identity) section. Granted, all of this depends
on what "security" model you (as administrator) choose to impliment within
Horde/ IMP. But I can't see where one could not "invent" a group within
Horde/ IMP and assign certian properties that would accomplish what you
are hoping to achive using the (some) BD model. There are *so* many
possibilities permitted in combination with Horde/ IMP and MySQL within
the options permitted in the administration panel of Horde, and IMP.
It should be _nearly_ trivial.

Hope I was clear enough, and this helps.
