Re: Setting up IMAP on exchange 2003 server

ED,thanks for your input. Actually when I did telnet I get the prompt 220 ok,
also it gives me mail from: billg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and says sender ok. and also
when I type RCPT to and type address and type the test mail, but I never got
the test mail. Is there anything blocking to this test mail? am i supposed to
get back the reply.However, it did not give me any other errors.

I don't believe that it should be necessary to create a different SMTP
virtual server.

From your machine that runs Outlook (and handles SMTP unsuccessfully) try
this:

C:/>telnet servername.domain.com 25
HELO yourid.domain.com
MAIL FROM:billg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
RCPT TO:yourmailbox@xxxxxxxxxx
DATA
This is a test.
..
QUIT

If you're successful, your mailbox (yourmailbox@xxxxxxxxxx) will receive the
message from billg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx You should get a banner identifying the
Exchange server after the telnet, and then you should get 220 OK responses
afterward, or something a little different as appropriate. Please post the
conversation.

Yes I followed al the steps for SMTP. It still did not work. Although is
it
required to create another SMTP virtial server? I am currenrly using the
Default SMTP Server. Please advise.

Did you follow all the SMTP steps too? SMTP is what's used to send mail;
IMAP is just the mailbox retrieval part.

If the iPhone is an IMAP client, then it should work. You haven't
provided
any details how you've configured iPhone users to connect, so I can't
comment on why they might not be working.

Ed, we are using outllook for all clients and everything works fine
inbound
and outbound. However, the reason IMAP is configured so that iphone
users
can
do send/receive emails, but the problem we are having is currently
iphone
users are unable to send emails. Please advice if any solution to
this.

Outlook really works better when using MAPI; IMAP is a much less
functional
protocol.

Are the Outlook clients configured to authenticate for sending
outbound
mail? Using the same credentials as for downloading the mail
should
be
fine. Is Outlook sending mail to the same server?

Can you tell me how do I configure smtp so that all my IMAP
clients
can
send
email. Currently outlook is configured for IMAP. All IMAP clients
are
unable
to send emails and sits in outbox. Please advice.

I've never seen a client that supports a secondary SMTP server.

I understand. The SMTP Server is configured, also do I have to
configure
secondary SMTP virtual server, if so how? Is there any
documentation.
How
outgoing emails working? please let me know.
