well, yeah basically.
There is certainly a problem with an outlook style accounts program, but i am certain,
that u can add to the script a loop to "if then" every set of account to check it got
the designated pop.mycompany.com pop3 definition in the account and then change only
that account.
you can even set up a php page, that will allow u to choose ur mail client from a
combo box and thus run a different script for each set of {OS,mail client} easy to do
with a decent app server/script server like php or ColdFusion or asp/whatever.
another option for ur windows users is to use the .cab extention to do a quick install
from the web for ur application as a hookup on the internet explorer bar, and then
when they change isp they can open their explorer and choose their new isp from the
bar which can be dhtmled to do an http get xml/text from ur web site. U won't believe
how common is this method.
