[lug] Netscape Communicator and ms exchange 5.5 imap

[Andrew Diederich]

I was fooling around with using netscape as a mail client with an exchange
imap server.  I am able to see the inbox just fine, but when I try to make a
sub folder to match my already existing folders I get an error that says
something about there already being an object of that name on the server.

The thing I really want to be able to do is leave my mail on the mail server
and be able to read incoming mail/stored mail from linux.  I thought
Netscape would do the trick for me, 'cause imap seems to be the way to go to
only download headers of emails, but maybe not.  Would mutt be a good way to
go?  I'd need to figure out how to make mutt see all the sub folders,
though.  Hmm.  I don't know if fetchmail would leave the junk on the server.
Too bad exchange/outlook mail is so huge.  Rambling . . . Any ideas?
