You *can* do it independent of IMAP server, but it may take some work.
You can use the hook calls in IMP to munge the entered username/address
as needed for your setup.  But how to do this depends on your mail software
and on your goals in doing so.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
