Does Outlook 2000 support IMAP4 ?

[Yuri Palagin]

Hi everybody.

Does Outlook 2000 support creating an Internet Mail Account with IMAP4
protocol instead of POP3? If it does, how can I do that?
When I create a new configuration, choose Create automatically, check
"Internet mail account" box, it does not suggest me to pick a protocol (pop
or imap or http).

Our corporate policy has switched to using IMAP4 rather than POP3 over slow
WAN networks, but a lot of the users still have MS Outlook 2000 as POP3
clients. So, is there an easy way out, or do I have to upgrade their
Outlooks?

Thank you for any ideas,

ypal

I believe it does when Outlook 2000 is configured in Internet Mail Only
mode. Take a peek at Help > About Microsoft Outlook. About the second or
third line down from the top will state which mode Outlook is in.
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/choosingmode.htm has some additional
information about modes.

yes, thank you neo, I forgot to switch modes. This article tells that IMAP
is not supported in CW mode of Outlook 98 and 2000:
