Hi,

We are using mail ID's (exchange environment) wich allow Space-seperated Names e.g. John Doe. When I try to configure the IMAP-settings I get an error about invalid IDs, that happens only with Space seperated IDs, Ids without space are working well. So I tried several alternatives ("John Doe", 'John Doe', John%20Doe, JohnDoe, John.Doe, the alias name in Exchange, etc.) nothing worked.

Any idea how to configure IMAP in that paticular environment?

Thx in advance

Hedwig

when I go to: Tools --> Settings --> User-Konfiguration there are only IMAP settings and a "Test" button

The problem obviously is caused by username with spaces ( not normal case ). Post here the server.log error to ensure that's the problem.

In our source code we use: I'll investigate if it's some problem on java mail library, when users have spaces ... really must understanding it's a strange practice for username.

I've been looking some post talking about this problem http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=772832

it migh running without problems ... ? I'll be waiting your server.log error

You are right, ist a bit strange. But right now it would take al lot of time to turn back the wheel.

Unfortunatly right now I am out of the office for the next 5 days. As soon as I'll be back, I'll post the result.

Thanks for your help.

Of cause you can't change the mail-handling routines because of a single user

But could the "mail-alias" be the solution? It is easy to change, but I don't know whether you have access to the mailNickName
