SUMMARY
This article contains steps for you to follow to set up your Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) account so that you can use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account. This article also provides links to other articles that may help you learn more about and troubleshoot problems with Microsoft Exchange Server accounts.
Symptoms of the problem
When you use Outlook or Outlook Express and you try to check for messages on an Exchange Server-based computer, you may be repeatedly prompted for your user name and password.
Steps to resolve the problem
When you use the default Exchange Server POP3 or IMAP4 authentication setting (Clear Text Authentication), set your POP3 or IMAP4 account name to include the following information:
NTDomain\NTDomainID\ExchangeMailAlias
For example, if your domain is "Name_of_domain," your account name is "Myaccount," and your Exchange Server alias is "Serveralias," your account name is as follows:
name_of_domain\myaccount\serveralias
To find your account name in Outlook Express:
- On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
- Click the Mail tab, and then click your mail account.
- Click Properties, and then click the Servers tab.
