[imp] How to open a different mailox on exchange

[Joost De Cock]

Hi there,

following information might be usefull for some, useless for others, and for 
several of you, it will be nothing new.

When using imp with an exchage server, loging in with:

username=NT account
password=password of that account

takes you to the mailbox that has your account defined as a primary NT account 
(in most cases your personal mailbox).

However, if you want to access a different mailbox, and you have the needed 
rights to do so, you need to use this syntax:

username: NTdomain/NTusername/mailboxalias
password: password of the NTusername above

example:

user: mydomain/administrator/postmaster
pwd: ******

this will open the postmaster mailbox.

Just my 2 cents

Joost

PS: The first example (for your own mailbox) assumes that your mailbox alias is 
the same as your username.
