Re: Imap and how to connect

First you would have to enable the IMAP service on the exchange server if
they are going to connect to IMAP through private connections i.e. dedicated
t-1 and not over the internet then you would have them point to the
exchangeservernam.domain.com

If they are connecting via internet then you will have to open the IMAP
ports on the firewall and have an A record added to your internet side DNS
to allow them to resolve to the external IP. The below link talks about
configuring Exchange 2003 for client access.
