<title>Use with MS Exchange server</title>

<para>
|
|

Several users have reported problems with Microsoft Exchange
|
|
||||||
servers in conjunction with OfflineIMAP. This generally
|
|
||||||
seems to be related to the Exchange servers not properly
|
|
||||||
following the IMAP standards.

I do not have access to Exchange servers for testing, so any

problems with it, if they can even be solved at all, will

require help from &OfflineIMAP; users to find and fix.

It should run on most platforms supported by Python, which are quite a

few. I do not support Windows myself, but some have made

it work there; see the FAQ entry for that platform.

These answers have been reported by &OfflineIMAP;
|
|
||||||
users. I do not run &OfflineIMAP; on Windows myself, so
|
|
||||||
I can't directly address their accuracy.

|

<para>
|
|
||||||
The basic answer is that it's possible and doesn't
|
|
||||||
require hacking &OfflineIMAP; source code. However,
|
|
||||||
it's not necessarily trivial. The information below is
|
|
||||||
based in instructions submitted by Chris Walker.

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
<para>
|
|
||||||
First, you must run &OfflineIMAP; in the <ulink
|
|
||||||
url="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</ulink>
|
|
||||||
environment.
|
|
||||||
</para>
|
|
||||||
<para>
|
|
||||||
Next, you'll need to mount your Maildir directory in a
|
|
||||||
special way. There is information for doing that at
|
|
||||||
<ulink url="http://barnson.org/node/view/295"></ulink>.
|
|
||||||
That site gives this example:
|
|
||||||
</para>
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail"
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<para>
|
|
||||||
That URL also has more details on making OfflineIMAP
|
|
||||||
work with Windows.
