I applied the patches, but this doesn't seem to work. At least not well.
I'm likely experiencing the full horde account username problem you told
me about. I use imp for login authentication as well. The horde
installation services multiple domains via one virtual host, which is
set depending on how one reaches the site. For example for mine, I go to
webmail.gnat.ca and others would use webmail.greatexcursions.com. Doing
so sets the domain to either gnat.ca or greatexcursions.com in reply
emails and such. The question I have is what is the full account
username in that case? It usually says welcome to nathanael at gnat.ca when
I login, so I've used that, but something isn't quite right. Because I
could set it up and add events to it, but it wouldn't show up in the
calendar. I saw in the DB that *some* of the events I added with Sunbird
were there, however the events I added with kronolith weren't. Very
frustrating. Ideas?
