I remember this limitation since the IMail 3.x days.  One work around was to 
create a 3 character user name, then change it in the registry to 2 characters.

Why was this limitation ever created in the first 
place?  Is there some RFC somewhere that specifies a minimum of three 
characters?  What was the original thinking behind this?  Has Ipswitch 
fixed this in the newer versions?

  I believe the trick was to create 
  2-char alias.

  [IMail Forum] 2 Char Email Addres...?

  In 
  using ver 8.22 
    
  I 
  have a customer who wants a 2 char email address... the interface says it 
must 
  be three, but I think I remember there was some way around this, perhaps a 
  registry trick... I figured I would check with the list before I 
  experiment...
