Access exchange using IMAP externally
Hi there, I am running ms exchange 2003 on a SBS. I am trying to connect to my ms exchange server using php imap module. Now i got it working inside the network that my server is in using its internal IP address, but i keep getting a broken connection error when i try connection view an external IP. I looked and looked all over the net and could not see any hints, but i was wandering if there is anything else I need to enable or set up in the exchange settings to be able to access the mailboxes via IMAP. Any help would be greatlyappreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi,Can you telnet IMAP from the outside? IMAP TCP 143 IMAP over SSL TCP 993 If not you need to open for this in the firewall (ISA server?).SBS questions are best asked in the SBS news groups - all the SBS experts are there.Leif

Exchange 2003 on a SBS. Trying to connect to my ms exchange server using php imap module. Now i got it working inside the network that my server is in using its internal IP address, but i keep getting a broken connection error when i try connection view an external IP. Depending on the firewall you use with SBS 2003, you will either need to create a packet filter in the RRAS Firewall or add a publishing rule in ISA. Neither 143/tcp nor 993/tcp is defined by the The Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW). Below are two links that should help you going. For the ISA part, if you don't use secure IMAP, change the port to 143. As Leif stated, there are lots and lots of helpful SBS experts in the SBS forums. For SBS 2003 it's thefourth link.
