The exchange IMAP works, but it does some really broken things with
mailbox naming.  If the mailboxes have different names to the usernames,
it guesses what your mailbox name is using some broken and secret
algorithm.

If your mailbox names are different from your username try logging in
with an IMAP username of DOMAIN/USERNAME/MAILBOX.  This should work for
attaching to other people's mailboxes, if you have rights on them, too.

Cheers,

Doug.
