Hi,

switch return an error when i try to receive emails. With the usual login credentials i get an error:



credentials:

domainusername



error:

Failed to connect to mail server; error message: x0000 BAD Protocol Error: "Expected SPACE not found".





Goolge says: change format like this (Quote the ""):

"domainusername"

Now the error is:

Failed to connect to mail server; error message: x0000 BAD Protocol Error: "Invalid string supplied for user name".



Any ideas?



Kind regards,

Jörg

Jörg,



Are you trying to connect to Gmail? Then use your Gmail username, which most likely is your email address.



If you're trying to do an AD authentication, then you're probably connecting to a exchange mailserver or similar, as far as I know this won't work with Switch.



If none of the above, could you elaborate on the subject?



cheers,

Bert

HI Bert,

yes, i try to connect to a exchange server.

According your words, this won't work with switch - very sad.

The sending of mail via this server works.



Please add it to the feature list of version 11.



Kind regards,

Jörg

Jörg,



What you CAN do is create a virtual POP3 in your Exchange environment, but a direct sync to exchange server is out of the question.

Currently Switch can connect through POP3 or IMAP (SSL included).



One place for all your feature requests:

With the POP3-Hack it works (don't forget to enable the POP3-feature at the exchange server).



Thanks.
