Exchange 2007 and Fetchmail

RT Users

Hi,

I’ve recently upgrade to Exchange 2007 from 2003 and am having issues
with logging into our mailbox using fetchmail via POP3. I am able to
telnet into the server via POP3 and log in but when fetchmail tries it
it says bad username and password. I was wondering if anyone would know
if it was an issue with certifcates, that are now an important piece
with Exchange, or if it’s a special setting on fetchmail that I have to
use.

Thanks,
Bill

I have it working.
Be sure to use the same hostname in the .fetchmail.conf as in the
certificate.
EXC2K7 will announce that it can do POP3+SSL and fetchmail will try to
use it.
If you used the wrong hostname, it will complain.

Run fetchmail with -v to see what it’s doing.

cheers,
