Right. Exchange's IMAP support is, contrary to popular belief, 
actually quite reasonable, as far as I'm aware. The client support in 
Outlook and Outlook Express is notoriously terrible, but credit where 
credit's due.

I can't remember - it's been ages since I messed about with IMAP on 
Exchange. What I do remember is that you also need to specify the 
alias, or at least used to need to. Officially, this isn't needed (or 
wasn't then), but it won't login without it. This might even have 
been on Exchange 5.5, but I couldn't honestly tell you.

So for my case, it was something vaguely like Dave/FELSPAR/dac as a 
username - where Dave was my NT login, FELSPAR the domain, and dac my 
alias - that is, the local-part of the email address. The slashes 
might have been the other way around, hence Dave\FELSPAR\dac - I'm 
really not sure.

Dave.
