Yes.
Maybe i found the problem..
I thought an ISPConfig install would be complete, so i could use the
passwords stored at the ispconfig admin screen..
For that i seemed to need a plugin for squirrelmail.
I installed it from their svn.
Now i have to fill in some parameters: user, pwword and such, and than
it should work...
But as you say, it takes time, and carefull reading, coding and testing.
I am at it two whole weeks now..
The holidays throw some sand in the machine....but np. ;-)
thnx for your response, i'll take a close look at your configfile, and
compare it with mine...

Yes, but as i read at more sites that would not be a problem, more
dbases can be used at the same time...
