I had this problem once and solved it by creating 3 char user names, then 2 char aliases to point in that direction. The end users needed to adjust their clients a bit, - so it wasn't tidy, but it worked and had the advantage of "staying inside the lines."

I remember this limitation since the IMail 3.x days. One work around was to create a 3 character user name, then change it in the registry to 2 characters.

Why was this limitation ever created in the first place? Is there some RFC somewhere that specifies a minimum of three characters? What was the original thinking behind this? Has Ipswitch fixed this in the newer versions?

I believe the trick was to create 2-char alias.

In using ver 8.22
I have a customer who wants a 2 char email address... the interface says it must be three, but I think I remember there was some way around this, perhaps a registry trick... I figured I would check with the list before I experiment...
