======Enable Automatic IMAP User Creation======
This discussion on the Owncloud bug tracker describes patches that provide more automated IMAP user management:
https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/302
The patches provide these capabilities:
* Create new Owncloud users when unrecognized users login using IMAP
:* Add new users to a group named for the domain portion of their email address
:* Optionally set an Owncloud quota based on the user's email domain
* Update the Owncloud password for any existing user who logs in using IMAP
=====Problems=====
=====Problems=====
* Users who login using IMAP Authentication are not automatically added to the owncloud "oc_users" table. Consequently, they are not offered as options when other users want to share files with them.
* By default:
* IMAP authenticated users will be unable to connect using the owncloud client sync program.
:* Users who login using IMAP Authentication are not automatically added to the owncloud "oc_users" table. Consequently, they are not offered as options when other users want to share files with them.
:* IMAP authenticated users will be unable to connect using the owncloud client sync program.
* If your IMAP server allows alternative username syntax, owncloud will create a separate account for each username format that allows successful authentication. That is, if your IMAP server allows users to optionally include or omit the domain name, you might create a user account entry for "xyzuser@mail.yourdomain.com", then find that the user always logs in using simply "xyzuser", which succeeds during the IMAP authentication, but is a different account within owncloud.

I had issues when deleting files in my client. Turing off magic quotes fixed the problem. Edit your php.ini using custom templates.
