cannot connect via IMAP on exchange 2010 server
Hi, I have a 2011 sbs. I cannot get IMAP to work on it internally. I have IMAP service started, and the users I'm testing have IMAP enabled. I can telnet port 143 and i get the server response.
On outlook or say a phone, I always get username and password failed.
I've tried
username
domain\username
domain.local\username
there's no firewall on the server, just AVG AV
Any ideas.

Check iis websites are all working ?

IIS looks ok from my limited knowledge of it. OWA and activesync work fine and have done for years.
Is certain section of IIS I should be looking at.

test exchange for activesync reports all fine
Just remembered something have a look here:
Exchange Management Console -> Server Configuration -> Client Access -> "POP3 and IMAP4" tab -> IMAP -> Properties
Under the Authentication Tab, by default it is set to Secure Logon (requires TLS).
You mau need plain text
Should be the same for pop3 ?
Also check under the Binding tab and confirm that the correct ports are bound to an available (or all) IP address of the server.
You do not have a gap in your domain name per chance (that is known to create a problem

Of course, if that last suggestion turns out to be the fix, realize that your users will now be transmitting their login credentials in the clear. That means, that anyone, say, wireless snooping will be able to just grab their creds directly from the air.
The questioner does specifically say IMAP internally
ASKER
cpmcomputers, that seems to have worked.
as d0ughb0y said, is our security not compromised. We may want to use IMAP for phones in the future that don't support activesync.

Yes he is correct
There is a potentiial security risk
But now you know it is an authentication issue
Now turn the authentication to the default
You now need to configure your server for ssl connectivity on port 995 only
But this depends on your ssl certificate
Is it the inbuilt cert or a third party cert
The other question I should ask is why you need to enable imap at all ?
