Hi, I have been trying for a few months now to set up IMAP for external use. There is definately no problem using IMAP internally...I tried that. I am using a SBS 2000 system. 2 Nics, Router, Exchange, ISA. The Router is a Linksys 8 port router/switch. I have enabled Port Fowarding for ports 25 and 143 to my external NIC. On ISA I have made a Protocol rule for IMAP to allow traffic in. I have also made an IP Packet filter for it as well. When I try to connect, I always get a connection to server failed. I know this is vague, but i will answer any questions that would be needed. Any ideas why I cant get connected remotely? -Travis
