In Outlook the users will have two IMAP servers configured.  One for the
NT server and one for the Linux server.  The owner of the company wants
mail delivered to both servers so users will see the same messages in each
IMAP setup.  This is just a temporary configuration so the owner and the
users can feel confident that the Linux IMAP server is functioning exactly
like the NT IMAP server.  We'll then let it run like this for a couple
weeks and then delete the Outlook configuration for the NT IMAP server and
use only the Linux IMAP server.
