In multi-tenancy situations it's almost impossible to use the smtp/pop/imap authentication, the reason behind it is that usernames are most of the time different than the prefix of the email address, however the authentication suffix (domain name) most of the time have to be an internal domain not the public (domain.local vs. domain.com), hence this feature request:

To be able for users to login with their public email addresses I was thinking that adding an "import users from CSV file" option would be a great idea instead of the administrator manually creating the users one by one (beceause domain admin doesn't have the permission/option to do this).
I would see the CSV file template would have this fields: name (optional), surname (optional), username, email, password

Thanks,
Anis
