Hi,
I am having what appears to be a common problem getting outlook to
exist nicely with IMAP. I am using a linux laptop to get and post
mail using pop (fetchmail) and sendmail as SMTP. Been doing it for
years and it works well as I am out of the office a lot. At any rate
I was using Outlook express as my client via IMAP over vmware to the
IMAP server. No problems, except I was lured into moving to Outlook
2003 proper as it has such nice support for syncing with my treo600.
It really is nice, but the one problem is that Outlook hangs for some
reason. It seems intermittent, but I can't go for very long before it
stops responding. I have been looking and looking through usenet and
ms but no joy. This group seems to have the most helpful people
lurking about.
If I go to the linux side, then find the imap process (it's the wu
IMAP serverIMAP4rev1 2003.339) and kill it. Outlook wakes up angain
and finds it's brain. I watch the traffic on the network, inetd on
the linux side closes nicely, as I kill it with a HUP. After that
outlook just opens up another connection logs in and does things like
nothing happend.
The problem seems to be more prevolent when I have the new previewing
pain up. That thing is nice, and I would like to use it, but having
to kill the imap server on the linux side every 15 minutes or so is
getting to be kind of anoying. I am pretty certian I am up to date on
service packs and what not, but I am not a Microsot expert, so I don't
know the right stuff to throw out there. I am hessitent to question
the linux side as the server has worked for a long time with no
problem, is not hung when the problem happens, and logs nicely when it
goes down.
Anybody gutsy enough to try a thing or two? I would like not to go
back to OE, and the palm desktop.
Thanks,
Bryan
