Hi friends,
I have been having some trouble trying to setup fetchmail to retrieve
mail from our MS Exchange 2003 server using IMAP, authentication is
handled by NTLM (I normally use evolution and it works.).
Fetchmail seems to be able to connect to the server fine however it
hangs when trying to download the messages from the server. Here is an
example of the output.
===========================
$ fetchmail -va

===========================
I am running gentoo with fetchmail release
6.2.5+IMAP-GSS+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem?
