[imp] Question about multi servers

[Nuno Silva]

You'll have to do a little hacking in the login routine. You'll have to 
make some php function that strips the @domain1.com, removes the @ and 
then set imapServer to the value you want.
AFAIK imp don't do this off the box.

another solution would be perdition (search for perdition on freshmeat.net).

nuno
