Default Domain Alias & Login Name

Hi all !

Is it possible to let users login with an email address on a domain alias, instead of the real email address ?

When I first set-up Zimbra, we only had a .be domain name. Now we have a .eu and we only communicate with this address.
I have set-up a domain alias for this domain on my old .be, but my users are very confused when it comes to login-name.
No problem in the webmail interface since they don't have to enter the full email address, but they always misconfigure their thunderbird/outlook client to use the address in .eu instead of the address in .be for authentication.
Is it possible to do some kind of "login alias" ?

Thanks !

Yes, if your users have an alias they can login with that. You'd need to create the alias for each account and/or change the default domain name.

Yes, it works great ! Thanks a lot !

The only problem is that I'll have to add aliases for all users now...
Is there an easy way to migrate everything from my old domain to a new domain ?

This information in the wiki should do what you need.

Do you mean the domain alias part ? That is what I already have.
I was thinking about a complete transfer. Imagine that I lose my domain .be and only have the .eu domain left. Would ther be a way to easily change all my domain configuration from .be to .eu ?

OK, but that's is not a real transfer, that is masquerading.
I still have to set up an alias for all my users if I want them to log with the new domain name in their username, right ?
My users' sent emails already appear to come from the correct domain, because they mostly use an external MTA which has the right configuration in "email address" and "reply to" field.
