Hi Guys,

I have just signed up to post an answer for you, (possibly).

I bought a ipod touch for my girlfriends birthday and I run Exchange 2007 at home in a test environment. I wanted to link the touch up to exchange and couldn't find any help or answers anywhere. All the setting I was trying were constantly being rejected by the touch.

To make things simple I worked on the basis of connecting the touch in the internal LAN without SSL, (working on the basis that when I get it working I'll implement the SSL \ External access later).

Well..... fight fight fight, I just couldn't get the bloody thing working !!!!

My exchange server, (2007), was running the base install so I decided to install Service Pack 1 on it.

Hey presto, the touch started working straight away. Now this might not be a viable solution for everybody and it may not necessarily work for them... But I thought I would sign up and make the suggestion purely due to the lack of knowledge on the web.

You cannot see if IMAP is enabled per user basis on the base install of Exchange 2007. Well you can but you have to check via the Exchange command line. Once SP1 is installed you can check via the GUI.

Now I haven't set up the "sending of mail" yet but I'm working on that now. Once it's up and running I'll try and post a walkthrough.

Regards
