My university uses it, and I fought with it for a while, but was happy when I found out that the Microsoft Exchange server now also supports IMAP and POP. Besides, Exchange uses a proprietary protocol, and TheBat has no native support for it (any more). >> Is it an gmail account? Have you tried logging in from a browser and >> see? > Not gmail.

Yes, I also tried IMAP with one account for a while, just to get a feel for it. I'm back to POP only. However, there are some people on this list who prefer IMAP. -- Cheers, Thomas.
