Matt,
My guess is that you used the IMail Client on the server and did more than
was necessary during login. One only need select the domain and user from
the drop down lists, then click OK, to gain access to any account. If you
filled out the POP3 section, it could have created the account that you saw,
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
You did the right thing in the registry. Although, I do find several other
registry entries for just logging in as a user in IMail client. If you did
more, like modify the mailbox or send mail or change options, that could
write other entries. I do see at least one user account on which I know I
have used IMClient, that has the SMTPWIN (windows location coordinates?)
entry.
The registry should never contain, in Users, anything other than just the
account name. Those with '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' are not valid and should be
removed.
