Short username/local-part login

[graphik55]

It seems to be impossible to connect to an IMAP server if only the local-part of the E-Mail address is usable as username.
In version 7 there was an option to enable such login: https://afterlogic.com/docs/webmail-lite/configuring-webmail/configuring-login-page

e.g.
E-Mail: graphik55@example.com
Login username: graphik55

Is there any solution for this?

[afterlogic-support]

We have actually implemented a solution for this in WebMail Pro v8:
https://afterlogic.com/webmail-client
Under Mail Servers, there's a setting added "Use full email address as login" for each server.
But for some reason, it looks like the setting isn't there in WebMail Lite v8, I've asked the developers to look into this. Most likely, it's a bug which will be corrected in the next update.

Follow-up: it appears the feature was added into the source but the new product build wasn't released yet. We'll probably release it later this week.

Great news and thank you for such a fast reply.

[afterlogic-support]

Have just uploaded a new package, available at:
https://afterlogic.org/download/webmail-lite-php
Hope it works for you.

I am sorry but it is not working properly.
I have multiple issues:

1. If I create a "Mail Server" with unchecked "Use full email address as login", the option is not unchecked. I need to edit the Mail Server and uncheck again.

2. I was able to connect to my Mail Server one time. While try to sync my Mails I got a red notification for wrong username/password.
   If I logout from my Mail Server and try to login again it is not possible. I need to clear the database and setup my Mail Server again.

Do you have some ideas?

I attached my debug log from my first login attempt, maybe it is useful. It is anonymized:
Domain: example.com
User: joe
Mail Server: mail.example.com
webmail.log

Thanks, looks like there's a problem indeed, i was able to reproduce issue #1 and the developers will look into both the issues. Will keep you posted.

[afterlogic-support]

Developers state they have corrected the issue, the fix will be included in the next package. You can update your installation when the package is available, or by grabbing the code from https://github.com/afterlogic/aurora-module-mail

[graphik55]

I just updated the module now and it is working fine.

Thank you for your fast help.

When do I get this fix at the Debian repo? (deb http://apt.afterlogic.com/stable /)

[afterlogic-support]

The package will be updated once version 8.2 is released, ETA is 1-2 weeks from now.

[afterlogic-support]

The issue should be corrected by now, both in ZIP package and in Debian repository. Should you encounter it within 8.2 release, let us know.
