I just wanted to make certain I understood the issue. You seem to be saying that anything other than mail.domain.com will lead to errors in other IMAIL related applications because of the way Imail programmers are handling the url constructs in these other and future applications.
The url construct is so well known and understood yet programmers for some reason refuse to completely parse it and use all the elements. I know it is a very common practice and just always attributed it to laziness. For instance I see it in MS help and admin files on IIS where they completely omit the port number even though it is quite common to install on different ports. And you see it commonly on other applications which depend on the localhost name despite the fact that many people do not use localhost. It really does not make any difference to me at all so I have no desire for additional discussion. I'll just accept the constraint as part of the program. It would have been better if someone from Ipswitch had responded earlier on this subject since contrary advice has been given rather often in the last two years I've been reading the forum posts.
