IMAP: Configuring Outlook Express as a Client

Support knowledgebase (hacht_imap_outlook_einrichten)
Applies to

SuSE Imap-Server: Version all

Situation:

You want to configure Outlook Express as a client for the IMAP server.

Procedure:

Add a new entry for Mail (IMAP) and Directory Service, respectively, in -->Tools --> Accounts.

MS Outlook Express admits folder names containing special characters (e.g., umlauts). These names are not RFC-compliant and the required conversion has not been clearly defined. The coding used by Microsoft for this purpose is mostly unknown and it causes a folder called "Entwürfe" to be represented as "Entw&APw-rfe" in other mailers.
