Hi All,
I've configured POP3 and IMAP4 on an Exchange server 2013 and it seems set to go but I just cannot authenticate with a valid UPN and valid password for the UPN.
Any Ideas what the heck I am missing???
+OK The Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is ready.
USER myname@mydomain.co.za
+OK
PASS MyPassword
-ERR Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
So I tried with 'USER mydomain\myname' and got same result. This occurs is both internally via TELNET on the exchange server IP and externally from a remote location over the mail record.
