Gerry,

We definitely got this concept and all of us agree that repetition is a bad idea.  However, Squirrelmail has nothing to do with account creation, deletion, or management.  It is simply a means of access your accounts utilizing the IMAP protocol.  Perhaps Ensim is the track you should follow.

I'm sorry to disagree, but this is most definitely not related to squirrelmail.  I do not know what Ensim is, but as I mentioned earlier, you either need to pursue that route or the underlying OS instead.  If you want help from me, then I would be willing to offer it, but please take if off list as this does not pertain to Squirrelmail.
