Connect IMAP4 server with telnet

[Gustavo Erthal]

Hi, I'm installing an Oracle Product, called Workflow, and in one of those steps I need to configure a Notification Mailer, a Java API which I can send and receive e-mails.

To make it works I need to do one test with SMTP and another with IMAP4 server. The SMTP test works fine, but the other one don't.

This IMAP4 test is to connect like this:
C:\> telnet 1.1.1.182 143

Where 1.1.1.182 is my server ip, and 143 is the IMAP4 port number.

After that I need to login in the IMAP4 service like this:
1 login teste teste,

Where teste is my user and password. The result is always NO. Also, in the server and the client machines the NTLM authentication is enable and only NTLM.

So, what am I not doing or doing wrong? What can I do to fix this problem? Do I need to run any patch?

My server is Windows 2000 Server SP4, and my client is Windows 2000 Professional SP4.

Thanks,
Gustavo.

Well, "login username password" password should work if username existed and password matched. If the connection was made successfully, I guess it has nothing to do with the port being blocked eg firewall. If ssl was enabled imap4 uses a different port 993 I guess. Imap4 uses port 585 also!!??
Just my 2 cents.
