This plugin should indeed be able to get me there. I probably just
need to assign a specific variable with my folder name rather than the
name stored in the user's configuration file. I see you are one of the
developers of this plugin. I am alas not familiar with the plugin
architecture and other internals of SM, and only an amateur in PHP
coding. In particular, I am not sure what file the predefined link
should call with the variable that has the folder name in it, i.e.
http://server/squirrelmail/what-file-do- i-put-here.php?startupfolder=myfolder
(In my previous attempts to tweak the code, my issue was that the
variable containing the folder name had to be passed between several
files in an order that was not so obvious.)
Do you have any guidance? We can forget the login issue, assuming I
tell my users that they first need to login before they try to use the
links containing the folder name.
Thanks,
