Me, for one. :)

However: if the server field could be either a key into servers.php, OR a key
into a user-defined servers array, I'd be happy.

Ie: normal case - normal users, one (or a few) imap servers defined in
servers.php. Just store the key.

advanced case - demo site, advanced users, etc. Users can define their own
server entries and save them as prefs, and the prefs field becomes the default
server of these to use.

Thoughts?
