Yeah I was going to add that as an option Chris, but as I started to write it out I realised I couldn't make it sound any less than utterly, utterly confusing :)

I have a .local internal domain and a .com external domain with a SSL certificaate from Godaddy. My question is, in exchange server on the inside I use exchangehostname.mydomain.<wbr />local for outlook. I then have to establish a VPN connection, use owa or rpc over https to connect outside the organisation. This really isn't much of an issue for outlook. The issue is, now im trying to configure Thunderbird on Ubuntu 9.04. I keep getting an error of 12263 when trying to connect to exchange. I have tried SSL and TLS with no change. Is there a DNS record or something I can add so that I can use mail.mydomain.com for both internal and external settings on my mail clients?

Thunderbird is an email, newsgroup, news feed, and chat (XMPP, IRC, Twitter) client that supports POP and IMAP and LDAP address completion. The vanilla version is not a personal information manager, although the Mozilla Lightning extension adds PIM functionality. Thunderbird can manage multiple email, newsgroup, and news feed accounts and supports multiple identities within accounts. Features such as quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, and labels help manage and find messages. Thunderbird incorporates a Bayesian spam filter, a whitelist based on the included address book, and can also understand classifications by server-based filters such as SpamAssassin. Extensions allow the addition of features.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
