Table 13 IMP Mail Server List Settings (continued)

Setting

Description

Namespace

Enter a path to remove from mailbox names for presentation purposes. A common

 

value for Cyrus IMAP servers is INBOX. This may cause confusion between shared

 

folders and personal folders if they share the same name.

Maildomain

Enter the default hostname to use after the @ for the from address when sending mail.

 

This value will also be used to complete unqualified addresses in the compose window.

 

This property can be useful when the server sending and receiving mail is different.

SMTP Host

If the mailer type is set to smtp, then enter this host for outbound SMTP connections.

 

This will override all other configuration values.

Realm

Append this value to user names for preferences and Horde authentication. This can

 

be used to prevent clashes on virtual host setups.

Preferred

Enter a space separated list of hosts on which this server entry should be default. Use

 

this if you use the same server.php file on different machines. If the hostname of

 

the IMP machine does not match any preferred settings in the file, then the first entry

 

in the file is considered default.
