Re: Disabling SSL for IMAP/POP3 on Exchange 2007

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The default login type - plaintextlogin - worked for me, without TLS/SSL.

set-imapsettings -UnencryptedOrTLSBindings:0.0.0.0:143 -LoginType:plaintextlogin

To remove the certificate association, try:
set-imapsettings -x509CertificateName:$null

This worked for Exchange 2003, but I'm looking for an answer to Exchange
2007.

MS has taken the GUI for POP and IMAP and removed them, so we're left with
finding out how to do this in commands, reghacks or adsiedit type of
actions.

Simply changing the login type does not seem to turn off SSL.

What I have done for now to get around this is to bind port 993 AND 143 to
IMAP SSL, but I still get a banner warning.

One would think there would be a way to just turn it off.

In the properties of the IMAP and POP3 virtual servers you can configure
them so that they do not require SSL. See Microsoft KB 821603.

I have been struggling with IMAP and POP3 on our test Exchange 2007
server
only to find that it won't answer anything but an SSL request.

This is fine internally, but for my windows mobild and for other
clients I
have that don't have access through anything but the non-ssl port 143
(for
imap, as an example) how can I disable the requirement of SSL?

I thought about re-binding the ssl port to 143, and looked at a lot of
the
settings that can be done using set-imapsettings but nothing appears to
allow
a person to just disable SSL as a requirement.

The LoginType doesn't appear to have anything to do with this. I can
set
it
to plaintextlogin but the server still won't listen to anything on port
143.


I realize SSL is a GOOD idea and that long-term its the way to go.. but
for
now I want it back the way it was until I have time to do the cert
thing
properly.

BTW: on my windows mobile (Cingular 8125) I can set it to use SSL and
it
will prompt me with a bad certificate but will still work. its very
annoying though. For outlook express behind a firewall that only lets
port
143 for imap, I'm stuck...
