Sambar Server Documentation

IMAP4 Server
Pro Server Only


Overview
The IMAP4 server is automatically started when the Mail Server is configured to run. IMAP4 supports the standard IMAP4 protocol and has been tested with JavaMail and Outlook. Simultaneous access to the same mailbox is supported. The IMAP4 server supports QUOTA, X-MOVE, X-EXPN, CRAM-MD5, and SSL encryption (STARTTLS).

Virtual Hosts
When retrieving the mail for a virtual-hosted client, the domain name must be appended to the username, i.e. tod@sambar.net. The Netscape Messenger client will now allow an at (@) symbol to be used in the username. To get around this limitation in Netscape, the star (*) symbol can be used and it will be modfied internally by the POP3 and SMTP servers to the at (@) symbol.

Miscellaneous Outlook Errors
If you see the following error messages:
Your 'Inbox' folder was not polled for its unread count. Account: 'localhost', Server 'localhost', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: ", Port:143, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005
Under Tools | Options | General, remove the check mark from "Send and receive messages at startup". Also try unchecking the option "Always connect..." inside Tools | Accounts | (mailbox) | Properties | Connection.
