I have seen 2 different Android phones that when you setup the email account, it will automatically add the proper domain names to the incoming/outgoing settings. Cool you say! but... It sets up "imap" acccounts as "imap.domain.com" and pop3 as "pop3.domain.com" and smtp as "smtp.domain.com"
Sort of a pain with virtualmin since it sets up "mail.domain.com"
Can we accommodate the new androids? Easily? Maybe? (Android 4.2.2 and 4.3)
Or is there a setting I have wrong?

Howdy -- you could actually configure your server to do that.
To configure that, go into System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> BIND DNS Domain.
Then, in the section named "BIND DNS records for new domains", you could create entries that look something like this:
imap.${DOM}. IN CNAME {DOM}.pop3.${DOM}. IN CNAME {DOM}.
smtp.${DOM}. IN CNAME {DOM}.
That will cause it to generate 3 CNAME DNS records each time a new Virtual Server is created.

Thank you, this will be great for future use :)
Not so wonderful for the existing domains, tedious work, here I come..
BTW, for others lurking, the info above is wrong, its actually:
imap.${DOM}. IN CNAME ${DOM}.pop3.${DOM}. IN CNAME ${DOM}.
smtp.${DOM}. IN CNAME ${DOM}.
