I guess my first question about this is why?   Why would you want a 
client to trust the DHCP server to tell you what IMAP server to 
contact?   What if you wind up talking to a rogue server, or roam to a 
different network?   These don't seem like things that are 
location-dependent - they seem like things that you want to configure 
on the client and not change as the client moves around.
