That's just the authentication.. it still doesn't let you use MAPI
to get at the mailbox...

 From 'README.NTLM' (Fetchmail 5.6.0)

------------
This directory contains sources for a library which provides
routines to manipulate the structures used for the client end
of Microsoft NTLM authentication.
[....]
This code (the ntlm.h file and smb*.[ch] files) was taken mostly from
the Samba project and was initially intended for use with Microsoft
Exchange Server when it is configured to require NTLM authentication
for clients of its IMAP server.

--------------

Anyone out there with an alternative MAPI library is keeping it
firmly locked away...  Unless you run Microsoft code (or HP's
OpenMail - I believe)... you're scuppered...

Why not get the admin to SMTP it to you from the exchange box ?

Then add an alias ?
little-old-me at exchange-box.ie -> little-old-me at linux.exchange-box.ie
