Exchange 2007, IMAP4 and iPhone

I finally have my iPhone syncing successfully with my Exchange 2007 server.

You need to do the following

  • Enable IMAP4 port (993) in firewall
  • Enable SMTP port (25) in firewall
  • Enable IMAP service in Exchange 2007
  • Enable IMAP for the user accounts (Set-CASMailbox -Identity mailboxname -IMAPEnabled $true)
    -The interesting thing is I didn't see IMAP listed in the dialog in the article, but in PowerShell you can see it enabled for the user.
  • Enable SSL for IMAP service.  (Much easier if you have IIS SSL Cert Installed
  • Allow "ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient" right to the SMTP connector.
    - In my configuration I have a service that sends anonymous email to my Exchange server.  I moved the anonymous concector to port 26 and kept it internal.  The external facing connector doesn't allow anonymous access.

On the iPhone

  • You need to configure the email address to be and email address of your Exchange domain, otherwise the SMTP connector will reject the emails.
  • Use "Password" authentication and not NTLM.  For some reason NTLM fails (I didn't have time to figure why this fails
