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...

Updated my SBS 2003 article to include a blurb concerning the Treo 650 and activesync

I finally fixed the issue I was having using a different email account as the primary account on SBS 2003 and ActiveSync with my Treo 650. It involved a bit of tinkering with the default recipient policy and the SMTP virtual server. http://blogs.slashstar.com/alex/articles/665.aspx

Archive Email Attachments in Outlook upon Arrival using VBA Macro...

I finally have something that works well. This macro will save attachments on arrival to the drive of your choice. The attachment is saved using a guid so there is no conflicts. I utilized the Outlook Object model and the AdvancedSearch object. One interesting thing, in Outlook 2003 the httpmail:read value is not true or false, but 0 & 1. Thank goodness for the QueryBuilder . Here is the source: http://www.slashstar.com/blogs/alex/articles/Outlook2003AttachmentArchival.aspx Alex

Using Outlook Search Folders to find items before a certain date/time relative to today.

Tim has previously posted and article on Outlook 2003 Search Folders . The only thing that we couldn't figure out is how to show all items of interest before a certain time or date, relative to today. Apparently the Advanced dialog has some weird natural language syntax for time received. I haven't been able to find a conclusive reference anywhere in the help or Microsoft documentation online. Any direction would be appreciated. However I was able to type in something like the following in the value field for the condition " on or before " to get it to work. 12:00 am 7 days ago 12:00 am 30 days ago I am sure things like years, months would also work. - Alex
