Hi Nestor! If you're going to use the OWA string you'll need to make sure you're also selecting the SSL option too.
But try finding the server in Outlook again. You need to be holding the Control key as you right-click. Don't just right-click. And you're looking for the status command. Using IMAP won't have an effect on you connecting if you're connecting as an Exchange client. Good luck! bill -- William M.
