Lorenzo,
All you need to do is test if the account is iTools and if it is, have
some hard code to set the hostname - no need to change their plist
file. I'm sure the password is stored in the keychain, and you'll have
to do that on your own.
One important note. I'm not sure what application you're doing, but you
can't rely everyone to use mail as their email application. You have to
provide a way for the user to input the account information directly
into your program. Instead of using the info from mail.plist you may
want to populate your fields with the data from the plist and allow
them to change it if necessary. This could also get around needing to
use keychain, (since you could just leave that unfilled), although you
should use keychain to maintain security.

A personal note -- when I tried to use Pantomime, I found it to be
extremely slow and difficult to use. What I ended up doing is using the
JavaMail framework and the Java bridge. Until Pantomime gets a little
more mature, I'd stay away from it.
I think Pantomime is fairly old (2 years is pretty long :) ) but the
biggest problem is the lack of documentation. I haven't used it for
reading mail, but for sending mail it works how I'd want it.
