Hello,

That's generally controlled on the server end with redirects or through htaccess. I don't think Joomla has the ability to setup a sub domain like imap.keighleyonline.co.uk as that's a DNS setting.

Hello,

It is possible but you would want to contact your web host to be certain. Certain hosts also have a built in redirects function in the back end server configurations that might work.
