In simpler terms, it lets users log in to Joomla! with the same username and password that they use for email, without the need to copy and synchronize the accounts manually.
Supported Features
* Fully localizable* Set user email account based on configurable mail domain.
* Authenticate to mail server using full email address.
* Configable mail host address and port.
* Optionally require secure (non-plaintext) authentication.
* Support for TLS (optional or required) and SSL.
* Optional validation of SSL certificate from mail server.
* Supports the [Joomla! Update System](https://docs.joomla.org/Help36:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Update).
Currently Unsupported Features
* Does not integrate email/webmail into Joomla! or provide Single Sign-On (SSO) between email/webmail and Joomla! Meaning users will still need to login to both Joomla! and email/webmail separately.* Authentication against multiple mail servers. Currently this plugin only supports authentication against a single mail server (although the address to which it connects may be load-balanced to multiple servers transparently).
Plugin Requirements
* Joomla! 3.0 or later. (Confirmed working on Joomla! 4.0-alpha3.) There are previous versions of this plugin available [for Joomla! 2.5](https://github.com/kevinoid/auth-mailbox-joomla/releases/tag/v1.0.9-for-joomla2.5) and [for Joomla! 1.5](https://github.com/kevinoid/auth-mailbox-joomla/releases/tag/v1.0.9-for-joomla1.5).* [PHP IMAP Extension](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php).
Troubleshooting
If mailbox authentication is not working, try the following steps:1. Enable [Log Almost
Everything](https://docs.joomla.org/images/8/88/Debug_logging_settings-en.jpg)
from the "Logging" tab of the "System - Debug" plugin in the [Extensions
Plugin Manager](https://docs.joomla.org/Help36:Extensions_Plugin_Manager)?
2. Attempt to log in.
3. Open `administrator/logs/everything.php` from the Joomla! directory on your
server in a text editor and search for `authentication_mailbox` near the end
of the log file. The log messages should include the arguments to
[`imap_open`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php)
(excluding passwords) and the resulting messages from
[`imap_errors`](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-errors.php).
- If `administrator/logs/everything.php` does not exist, check that the
directory permissions allow the PHP process to write to that directory.
- If `authentication_mailbox` does not appear in
`administrator/logs/everything.php`, check that "Authentication -
Mailbox" is enabled in the Extensions Plugin Manager.
