I'm sorry. Shared accounts only lead to security problems, IMO.

This is not a question we can answer for you as it has nothign to do with
Exim. Exim is a SMTP server. It doesn't do IMAP and it doesn't do web mail.

You'll need to look at your httpd/web mail/imap configs to figure out where
they log on your server and then look at those logs to determine if they
have what you need.
