We're using Courier IMAP. It doesn't much care what the userID is, so long as 
it is unique. 'barryf 'is simply a string, as is 'barryf@online.ie'. The nice 
thing about using the domain (or realm in IMP-speak) is that each domain then 
has its own namespace, so usernames can get re-used for the different domains.
