  Yes, that is irritating, and creates issues trying to sync with other mail applications and devices. You might like to look at the roundcube address book that allows you to add as many email addresses as you want for each contact.

  Hello, The following lines exist in the /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/turba/config/backends.php file:
  'email' => 'object_email', // 'homeEmail' => 'object_homeemail', // 'workEmail' => 'object_workemail',
  You can enable the additional lines for "home email" and "work email" so that those lines look like this:
  'email' => 'object_email', 'homeEmail' => 'object_homeemail', 'workEmail' => 'object_workemail',
  Upon making this change, you can then add three separate email addresses when setting up contacts in Horde. Can you verify if that helps to address the issue? If so, you will need to setup a custom script that runs after each cPanel update to edit those lines, similar to how it's done on the comment from the following feature request: Add a Tweak Setting when choosing Horde to turn HTML inline on or off Thank you.

  Hello, Here's another post that provides a general guide to setting up a post upcp hook to ensure the changes are preserved through cPanel updates: HELO name problem on roundcube Thank you.

  Does this looks correct:
  replace "// 'homeEmail' => 'object_homeemail'," "'homeEmail' => 'object_homeemail'," -- /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/turba/config/backends.php replace "// 'workEmail' => 'object_workemail'," "'workEmail' => 'object_workemail'," -- /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/turba/config/backends.php

  Hello, Yes, those entries look correct. I ran them as bash commands manually on a test system and they correctly updated the necessary lines. Thank you.

  @cPanelMichael Thanks for your help!

  
  You're welcome! I also encourage you to open a feature request for the inclusion of three email address fields by default when setting up contacts in Horde: Submit A Feature Request Thank you.
