Not to hijack the thread but if it were easier to input an IMAP server,
everyone who had an account on the IMAP server - as most students do -
would automatically have an account.

It would be trivial to add columns to that DB to automatically set quotas,
permission to have an account, etc..

I was told this would be available in 4.5 but as per my post yesterday, if
it's there, I can't see it..
