What about the IMAP data? Does the domain part stay the same? Then it  
should be okay. If not you are in trouble.

As long as you really only change the host name then I think LDAP  
should be enough.

I don't think anybody will yell at you here if you top-post. I have  
the impression most people here are more interested in helping each  
other out than nagging about the format.

I always restrict myself to the list and I think most people here  
reply only to the list. But as mentioned above: it is the information  
that counts, not so much the format.

Cheers,

Gunnar
