# ident_switch ident_switch plugin for Roundcube This plugin allows users to switch between different accounts (including remote) in single Roundcube session like this: ![Screenshot example](https://i.imgur.com/rRIqtA8.jpg) *Inspired by identities_imap plugin that is no longer supported.* ### Where to start ### * In settings interface create new identity. * For all identities except default you will see new section of settings - "Plugin ident_switch" (see screenshot below). Enter data required to connect to remote server. Don't forget to check Enabled check box. * After you have created at least one identity with active plugin you will see combobox in the top right corner instead of plain text field with account name. It will allows you to switch to another account. ### Settings ### ![Plugin settings](https://i.imgur.com/rFaHUbR.jpg) * **Enabled** - enables plugin (i.e. account switcing) for this identity. * **Label** - text that will be displayed in drop down list for this identity.
