Right, examples of which can be found at the ImapSelect URL I posted above :(   And am having a problem with the fact that $userId doesn't seem to be being passed down … as I posted above …

Basically, as detailed on thewiki page, I added theappropviate line to the conf.php file, and I put:

print "[$userId]"; exit;

at the top of the preauthentcate hook, and tried to login … all I get on th screen is [] … indicating that the hook is being called as expected, but that there is no value for $userId set …
