That's just the Internet for you. When you go to www.virtual_host_name.com with your
web browser, the browser sends an HTTP header "Host: www.virtual_host_name.com". The
web server (that serves 5 different domains on the same IP address) sees that, and
says "Ah, this web browser is looking for www.virtual_host_name.com."
When a POP3 client connects, it starts by sending "USER user_name", and then "PASS
password". That's all. Nothing else. The POP3 protocol has no method of telling the
server what domain the client thinks it is connecting to.

That should be easy enough to do. Just create a directory named "web" under the
domain's subdirectory, and copy all the web files there. If the subdirectory exists,
IMail will use it; otherwise, it will go to the default set.

IMail should work with any E-mail client that supports the SMTP and either POP3 or
IMAP protocols. If the client supports those protocols, and doesn't work, there is a
problem with either the client or IMail.
