Hi, >> Why was this limitation ever created in the first place? Is there some RFC somewhere <<
It's very frustrating, because it's the obvious question that many small account converting to Imail have. It's been reported for years and they prefer to continuously annoy their users rather than spend a moment to fix it. While I understand that one or two character userIDs are easier to guess that longer userIDs - ultimately the choice lies with the user NOT the vendor. (IMail even permits "nobody" aliases, which are a really bad idea in today's dictionary attacks.) I think this message sums it up best: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg93134.html "In a proactive move Ipswitch has reserved this feature as a $25,000 add-on to their Collaboration Suite" <G> -----Original Message----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 2 Char Email Addres...?
