Hi
Today I had the same problem with SQL Server. Any mail account stored in my
SQL Server database would return an invalid username/password message when
checked. I found your solution and used it and suddenly it all started
working again! What I don't understand is how the system worked perfectly
for six months and then suddenly decided it needed the administrator account
to work. I am also concerned about using the administrator userid to run
the Imail services. Is this a security risk?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Diarmaid
