Can I use Cyrus IMAP w/Outlook?

[Thomas Kessler]

We'll I got Cyrus running and able to work with Evolution, but when I try to
connect from my PC with Outlook it says it can find the server.  However the
SMTP connects fine.  I've read through almost all of the Cyrus-IMAP
documents and have not been able to discover the problem...

Here's the error message:
***************************************************************************

Task 'Checking for new mail in subscribed folders on
server.audiocollagerecordings.com.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook
is unable to download folder (null) from the IMAP e-mail server for account
server.audiocollagerecordings.com. Error: Unable to connect to the server.
If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator
or Internet service provider (ISP).'

***************************************************************************

Do I have to make a folder called "Inbox" or something???

Thanks,

Tom

Of course you can use it. It's not the best IMAP client in the world (I 
would rather use (and support) Mozilla/Thunderbird ;-) or, ok, maybe 
even rather Outlook Express then Outlook because of its IMAP support), 
but it surely works. Just set up an IMAP account with the correct 
account info & credentials.

P.S. If authentication fails against the Cyrus server you should 
probably tune your sasl_mech_list to something like "PLAIN LOGIN" 
depending on your backend ofcourse.
