Re: Connecting mobile device to IMAP


Yes, there should be a space between ALIAS and PASSWORD.

That'd be great and might help others. The article is:

"How to verify basic IMAP connectivity by using Telnet"
KB article: 189326

Instruction #2 is where it specifies the format with the slashes and not
spaces.

Lee,

Thanks for getting back to me on that, that certainly worked. I guess
I
was
following the KB article exactly as written as it did use the "/" in
the
example it gave.

I'm assuming that this format should also work on the iPhone and
perhaps
this is the problem. I'll post back once I find out.

Thanks, Jeff

Hello all,

I'm having trouble connecting an iPhone to IMAP running on Exchange
2003,
sp2. I am currently testing on our local wireless network for when
the
client is in the office. I think I may be designating the
username/password
wrong on the iPhone. It trys to connect to exchange, then gives me
an
"incorrect username/password" error.

What is the proper format for designating a mailbox account for
IMAP?

I have it listed as " AD Domain/username/alias ", in the username
field,
is
this correct?

I followed a Microsoft KB article for testing IMAP via telnet. I
can
get
in, but cannot access a mailbox using the commands listed. Perhaps
this
is
part of the orignial problem as well. When I use the command:

? login sub.domain.com/username/password

I receive an error "Expected SPACE not found". Messing around with
the
format, i have also received a "No space following tag in IMAP
command",
but
I think this was due to my playing with the command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure what's happening with the iPhone, but if you are doing this
from
telnet, there should be a space between username and password, not a /
.
If
your username is the same as the Exchange alias, you can just use

? login username password.

Lee.
