> Can Imail distinguish between accounts in the one domain?

Depends  on  what  you mean. IMail will, in a sense, OVER-distinguish.
Each  AD  user  will  have a mailbox @ each virtual host. If you don't
have   any   overlapping   usernames   (that   is,   you   don't  have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and are willing to deal with the
knowledge  that  there will be unused mailboxes that will still accept
mail at the envelope, you may be happy with the setup.

No  go.  All  OUs  will  be used, as IMail uses the downlevel SAM API,
which flattens the namespace.

With extensive custom programming, it is possible. We did this several
years ago using LDAP and were fairly happy with it -- then the clients
moved  to Exchange, which eliminated the need for the custom solution,
as  IMail  was  became  just  a  store-and-forward  server  (and  thus
exchange2aliases was born).
