Sidebar: It doesn't have to be a "?". IMAP requires that you provide an identifier so that a specific input and the specific output relative to that input can be identified.
That is because IMAP allows you to pre-feed commands and not wait on their responses. For example: A001 LOGON .... A002 COMMANDA A003 COMMANDB <wait-a-while> *A003 <result for COMMANDB> *A001 LOGONG SUCCESSFUL .. .. .. You get the idea. Regards, Michael B.

In steps 2 and later, that question mark '?', that's not for show. You _have_ to type it in. You _have_ to add a space after it. It's very irritating... ? LOGIN NTDOMAIN/NTACCOUNT/ALIAS PASSWORD Domain: corp NtAccount: john Alias: jdoe Password: something ? LOGIN corp/john/jdoe something This will tell you if IMAP is working at all.
