Mutt and Exchange
Hello Mutters, I'm using Mutt to access my personal IMAP account, but was wondering if there is a way to use Mutt to connect to my work Exchange 2010 account? I'm using Thunderbird that has an add-on that allows T-bird to connect to Exchange using the Outlook Web Access settings. Has anyone ever connected to Exchange with Mutt? -- Thank you, John

I'd like to configure Mutt to read my messages on a MS-Excange server (MSSERVER) of my office LAN. I've tried all the configuration proposed in the manual for IMAP to no avail. It shouldn't be that difficult because with Netscape I simply chose an IMAP server, gave my email address [EMAIL PROTECTED], the name of the server MSSERVER and the same name under STMP. After that, when I start the messanger it asks me for my userid and password and, here it is, I see the MSSERVER and Inbox folder with all my messages.
