Re: Exchange 2003/IMAP Username-PW Problem

Mark,

I didn't exactly state that correctly. In fact, I can connect to the server
using telnet, but it fails the login attempt. I can connect to Exchange and
succesfully negotiate a login using Outlook with the same username and pw
that I'm attempting with IMAP. The service is running. No errors show in
event viewer on the server or the client. IMAP4 Virtual Server settings:
Basic Authentication and Simple Authentication (NTLM) selected, all IP
addresses accepted.

SPA?? Not sure what you mean.

Last week, I successfully created an IMAP connection with an older e-mail
client (Pegasus) to migrate files to Exchange. I was able to connect and
move emails without problem. This morning the connection fails with unkown
username or bad password. I have the same problem connecting via telnet on
port 143.

However, I can connect to Exchange with Outlook 2007 and OWA using the same
Username/PW combination I'm trying using IMAP.

Thoughts/Suggestions??

Well, IMAP isn't actually set to start automatically so if you can't
even telnet to the box you could find that when you switched the
service from manual to automatic and started the service it might have
gone wrong or even that you selected POP in error. Anything like that.

Once you're sure the service is running, spin up a session of Outlook
Express or Windows Mail in Vista and give it a test using the
defaults. That'll prove the connectivity. Replicate those settings
(does the old client do SPA? (you don't want that ticked)) on the
older client.
