IMAP4 Problem
Mar 1^st, 2010, 6:47pm

I am trying to enable IMAP4 mail forwarding from a AIX 5.3 Server with Oracle R12-10g through a Microsoft Exchange 2003 non-clustered server. I have IMAP4 virtual Server and Telnet running on the Exchange Server, but when I attempt to logon to the Exchange Server through a telnet session, I get the following error message.

# telnet mailserver.name.com 143
Trying...
Connected to mailserver.name.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* BYE Connection refused
Connection closed.
#

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have telnet or ssh services enabled on your windows server? Do you have PUTTY client for Windows or here is a telnet/ssh server for windows - Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to

Good Luck - please let the group know what you end up working out.

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I have Telnet enabled and verified that the Service is Started. I do not have any issues, as far as I can tell, with telnet on any of my Servers. The issue, as I can see it, is with IMAP port 143.

Could it be an issue between WinServer2003/Exchange2003 requiring the Domain Name and port number separated by a : and AIX using a space in the Client application?

Even though I am not our Exchange Administrator, I should not have taken what I was told at face value. Live and learn, trust but verify. Sorry to have wasted the time of those who responded.
