all IMAP service in the mail servers should contactable via telnet by the port ?

Hi Experts,

I was trying to trouble shoot IMAP service on a mail server. But it's not connecting via telnet. I was trying to perform http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189326 (But SMTP port connects via telnet without any issue)

Some mail servers denied connecting to IMAP port via telnet ???

If so how can I remotely verify the IMAP service. ( we don't have access to the mail server any way)

Thanks a lot for your time !

Ya, I'm sure about the port numbers.

I can't telnet to the IMAP port, but I can telnet to the SMTP port on the same email server (EXCHANGE) which really means IMAP port on the particular server is down ??

it's bit complicated;

The email functionality in the production server is not working but development server is good with the same email functionality which use IMAP(993) on the same email server.

I have telnet to 993 from both Development and Production servers but connection refused. I can't imagine that how I going figure this.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
