outlook 2002 can't connect to IMAP after upgrade to Vista

[goob]

Hello all,

I recently upgraded to vista business and my outlook 2002 imap connections
no longer work. the error i get is:
There may be server or network problems or your timeout interval may be too
short.

Protocol: IMAP
Server: xxx.xxx.net
Port: 143

I thought that it might be a firewall issue - but the new 'Windows Mail'
product is able to connect to my imap server.

Is this a known issue or am i overlooking a configuration?

Thanks.

Mail' product is able to connect to my imap server.

It could still be a firewall issue. Make Outlook an exception in the
firewall.

Outlook 2002 has no full compatibility with Windows Vista. The issue you
described might be the result of this incompatibility.

I addedd outlook.exe to the exception list - but still no dice.

Interesting... i noticed the password issue - now i understand why that is
happening - however their is still no confirmation about imap not being
supported.

Not yet... ;-)

I hope for you that it's not a compatibility issue and someone will help
you solving it.
