Imap for outlook 2003, sbs 2003project to do. Any info/help are much appreciated. Some users (consultants) who are not on domain but need to access emails from server. And they are also work for various other companies so the scenarios would be grouped as in followings on their laptop in regard to mails setup 1. already have exchange 2. already have pop accounts 3. Exchange + pop accounts Would I use Imap for all scenarios ? I have done some testing but the result are not 'conclusive'. It might due to my incorrect setup on the client (outlook 2003). The testings (sending and receiving) seems to be fine on the date it was setup and worked in scenarios 1 and 2. I.e. the in box has the email and I would send and received emails but then it doesn't work on the next day on receiving but sending is ok. I have left it for 2 weeks to test again. With the same result. ie would send to receiptient but not receiving any message from anyone at all. Also when I setup the imap on my outlook 2003, on the outgoing server, I have to put in the server on my default pop account or where I am on the location of the mailserver. Does this mean if the consultant is using pop at home, it has to be setup as the adsl line's mailserver. If the consultant use exchange, the outgoing on the imap has to be though Exchange outgoing server ? How about if he is on the road in the airport ??? Any help appreciated. hi Smiley!
The best way to look at this is that POP and IMAP are read clients and also that unlike a MAPI client, you may have more than 1 mailbox per profile. e.g. you can have 1 client such as Outlook Express or Outlook reading many POP or IMAP accounts in the same profile. Start from there and then work out which servers you require each client to read from. Your errors sound very strange and unlike POP or IMAP errors, more like network or permissions.

Drop the IMAP route and go the RPC over HTTPs route which will work for all your users wherever they are in the world; as long as your have OWA externally available.

I will have a lot to read up. But one question on using the rpc over https. I thought for each 'profile' or each user would only has one Exchange mail box. For those consultants who had already had Exchange account setup, how would I set the rpc over https ???

Thanks for the confirmation. So I am back to square one with imap. Or are there any other choices that would be a possibility ? If Imap is my only choice and so far I don't think it is permission problem as nothing had been added or alter in the server or in client m/c. Network problem ---??? When I do the send and received, the send and received have not report any error at all. If it is network problem, I would have expect error when send and received. Unless my understanding on the send and received were wrong. Well it definitely doesn't have problem when sending as it is sending though the very building which I am in and I had tested the sending was still ok yesterday. It is the receiving which has the problem. I have just check with OWA that the message I sent yesterday and the day before still not getting to the administrator mailbox. Yes that was the account I was doing my testing on. I shall removed the account and set it up again and see whether the same thing happened. So I might 'disappear' for some day before I give a feed back. Have a good day guys Show quote "Peter O'Dowd (MVP)" <petero@nospam.com> wrote in message news:eFVM$OxhHHA.3512@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > you're correct you cannot. > > -- > Peter O'Dowd > Exchange Server MVP > http://www.blade.net.nz > "Smiley" <firework***@googlemail.com> wrote in message > news:f0l76v$9c4$1$8302bc10@news.demon.co.uk... >> Thank you guys. >> >> I will have a lot to read up. >> >> But one question on using the rpc over https.
