Mailtool URL to an MS-exchange server: msg#00029

Subject: Mailtool URL to an MS-exchange server
Mailtool is of great interest to me mainly to get a formatted listing of folders & messages from IMAP mailboxes.

Unfortunately although I have built it OK on RH9, when connecting to our Exchange servers IMAP address which is normally used by IMAP MUAs, it fails with message "Name or service not known".

Now our exchange login names are in format abcd/efghi/<email-name> * so a mailtool command would resemble:

mailtool -list 
imap://abcd/efghi/j.smith-8an/7dFdfPUZRzUzb4UyzNBPR1lH4CV8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If I try & query with mailtool -list j.smith-8an/7dFdfPUZRzUzb4UyzNBPR1lH4CV8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it then prompts for a password which of course fails because its an illegal userid for our exchange server.

Has anyone managed to make mailtool work with an MS-exchange IMAP server please ?

Regards

Les Oswald

* FYI "abcd"=windows domain "efghi"=windows login name "<email-name>"=recipient part of e-mail address
