Thank you very much... out of the will to manage it I actually already tried this yesterday evening (i use the field mailbox in LDAP) and it works... Is not the nicest solution imho, as I have to save the same information over and over again, but it's a solution I can live with... after all it's just something to be put in the user administration and management guide.

Thanks once more for the pointer!
