But first I have a few basic questions. Is IMAP not generally used? The exchange management shows that IMAP is not enabled. I tried right-clicking on it and clicking on Start but it timed out without starting. Also, do I need to open port 143 and "forward" the port to Exchange Server? If so, how do I do that?

When I look in the in the 'Services' panel (Control Panel > Administrative Tools) should I see IMAP listed and then what, right-click to start it? I don't see it in the Services list.
Also, if anyone has any advice on how I can connect remotely to my Window small business server 2003, the advice would be appreciated. I tried everything I could find in the server manager to allow remote access.

Connecting remotely to your SBS in terms of Remote Desktop or some other way is beyond the scope of this question; I'd suggest you ask a new one for that.
The IMAP service is listed as 'Microsoft Exchange IMAP4' and is disabled by default.

How do I enable IMAP, I tried right-clicking on it and clicking on Start but it timed out without starting. Also. how do I open port 143 through the firewall as you mentioned?
