Thanks for the comeback, Chris. Nope, I even tried that. Then, thinking it was a tombstone issue, and I'd long ago set tombstone to 2 days, I waited until Sunday. Still no dice.
I threw in the towel and just created a brand-new user account, new mailbox, copied the contents over, etc. Not elegant, but I'd been messing around with this for 4 days and it was time to just do it. Thanks again. These folks will be migrated to E2K3 in a couple of months, so these problems will be over, and new ones will take their place <g>. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] direct office line: (314) 996-1876 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Chris Scharff > Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 4:31 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: IMAP on Exchange 5.5 problems > > The correct format for usernames is domain\nt_id\mailbox_alias (or > forward slashes depending on the client).
