Outlook, IMAP and Exchange

Ok, I will post this just in case some poor soul needs to try do­ing it. You tell me if it makes any sense.

  • When in­­stalling Out­­look 2000, you can choose sup­­port for "Group­ware on­­ly", "In­ter­net on­­ly" or "both­­".

  • In­­ter­net On­­ly lets you cre­ate IMAP or POP3 ac­­counts, but no Ex­change ac­­counts.

  • Group­ware On­­ly lets you use Ex­change, but no IMAP or POP3.

  • Both gives you on­­ly Ex­change and POP3, but no IMAP.

Here is how you can have Ex­change and IMAP at the same time:

  1. Close Out­­look.

  2. Go to con­trol pan­el.

  3. There you have a "Mail" icon that was in­­stalled by Of­­fice.

  4. Use that icon to cre­ate the IMAP ac­­coun­t.

And some peo­ple dare say win­dows is easy to man­age :-P

Yes, I know, old soft­ware, what­ev­er. It's not my fault if up­grad­ing the freak­ing mail client costs so much mon­ey they won't do it be­caue they have to up­grade the whole pud­dle­jump­ing of­fice suit­e.

PS: Thanks to the guy that told me how it's done ;-)
