You can do this by disabling: 
virtdomains:            on 

in imapd.conf

Last time I tested this Cyrus would just completely ignore the domain portion
of e-mails when delivering mails. X at one.tld would be the same mailbox as
X at two.tld

Also, authentication is organised by setting the line:
ldap_filter: (|(mail=%u@%d)(mail=%u)(uid=%u@%d)(uid=%u))
to:
ldap_filter: (|(mail=%u)(uid=%u)) 
in saslauthd.conf

Last time I tested all this was for the release of ZfOS Kolab, but if you want
I can investigate/test these issues further for you...

Agreed. Although I think we could easily implement it already...

What about we drop the template META_FILE handling and the other
Cleanup/Janitorial duties and launch Proko2 as Kolab2?
Or Kolab2 on the 1st of October?

We can always implement those features in Kolab2.1? My concern is just
that there will be such a long time from the release of the new features
for the Web Client and Toltec Connector before we "officially" launch
Kolab2... With the clients online and ready (as they will be for Proko2)
its going to be a long time to wait for the server to come online...

Kind regards,
Stephan
