Does Microsoft Outlook work with Mercury IMAP using SSL?

Thanks for your help Thomas.

It turned out that the problem was with the firewall protecting the Mercury server.

I'd not allowed traffic to port 993 and of the various mail clients I was testing IMAP SSL connections with, only Outlook used that port.

I'm using Mercury 4.73 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

From looking at other posts here, it seems others have Outlook talking to Mercury, but maybe not via IMAP.

In Mercury's IMAP configuration, I have

Enable support for SSL/TLS checked

Disable plaintest logins for non-SSL connections checked.

Support for deprecated direct-connect SSL Port=993, Interface left blank.

In the Outlook settings, my IMAP server is set to use SSL on port 993.

I can connect to that same remote Mercury server using both Pegasus and Thunderbird.

Does anyone have this combination working?

Regards

Richard

I do not use Outlook 2003 but Outlook 2002 works for me using SSL.

I do not have this checked.

You might want to turn on session logging in MercuryI to see what happens when you try to connect with Outlook.
