Is there another way to log in the user besides using the emailaddress?
In our current system users may pop the same emailaccount aslong as they have "leave mail on server" checked.

We're considering on migrating to Webmail Pro but since the users login using an emailaddress this may prove to be a major problem.

Example)
User A
   userA@mail.com - main account
   shared@mail.com - user has checked that he may also login with this account

User B
   shared@mail.com - main account

Assume the following:
User A creates both accounts
User B creates his account
User B logs in with his credentals

Won't User B be logged in as User A now (I'm assuming this since the loginprocedure only checks the first row it encounters in the resultset) ?

Has anyone run into this situation before with Webmail?

If you link one or more accounts to your WebMail Pro account, you can set any of them as primary one, and its login/email/password will be used for logging in.

userA@mail.com - main account shared@mail.com - user has checked that he may also login with this account

Actually, in the situation you described, the checkbox should be set to off for User A. You cannot have two users accounts with this checkbox switched on for same email address.

Quote:
Won't User B be logged in as User A now

Only User B can log in using shared@mail.com address. User A can log in using userA@mail.com email address.

Thus, if you need to share an email account with several persons, the easiest way to achieve it is to make this address secondary for all user accounts, so that users log into WebMail with their primary ones.
