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.

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.
