Hi, I have hacked up my VBB and IMAP/MTA to integrate our webmail and forum. More specifically, I use the forum usernames/passwords for authentication for webmail.
I modified the PHP code for the on/off switch to activate mail accounts and a search function. For this I just added a yes/no option to add a user, and to edit a user.
Example:
http://www.egbt.us/webmailforum/activate.jpg
I also added some search options to use while searching for users, so you can display which users have webmail and which don't. There is also an option to display Yes/No if users have webmail if the results return multiple users (on by default)
Examples:
Looking for users with or without webmail:
http://www.egbt.us/webmailforum/search1.jpg
If you come up with multiple users (e.g. Listing all users, or searching for something that would turn up multiple users)
http://www.egbt.us/webmailforum/searchfinal.jpg
Now users can login into Webmail (the Cyrus IMAP daemon handles the webmail requests) with their forum username and password.
The problem I am having is that when I goto edit a user, it comes up as the default "no" option even though webmail is activated in the database. How do the other options know if they are on/off?
Here is a patch file (made from diff)
http://www.egbt.us/zone/user.php.patch
and attached...
P.S. if anyone has the same idea and wants to implement this on their (linux) webserver... mail me centerius@hotmail.com and I'd be glad to give you my docs I made during the process and help you out.
Thanks,
