  71                               <p>I had worked on this before but I just want to document it here. I use Thunderbird and connect to Exchange servers via IMAP. Here at TI I was only getting plain text from the IMAP server. I was speaking to a friend of mine who managed an Exchange at a prior company we worked together at. I used TB and IMAP back then too and did not have problems with HTML'ized email from Outlook users:</p>

  73 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> In any event I'm nore interested if you have an answer to my question regarding Exchange/IMAP.<br>
  74 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> How do you configure Exchange to sent HTML email to IMAP?<br>
  75 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> as far as imap goes,<br>
  76 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> we don't use it here.<br>
  77 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> but lemme check  something<br>
  78 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> I could have sworn that while at Salira I used TB and IMAP to your exchange server and when Outlook users sent HTML'ized email I saw it in TB as HTML'ized.<br>
  79 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> Here at TI all I get from the IMAP port is just plain text. Seems to me that this might be an Exchange setting....<br>
  80 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> yes..it's a server setting.<br>
  81 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> they must have it set for plain text only because you have 3 options..<br>
  82 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> plain text, HTML or both.<br>
  83 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> we have it set to both here<br>
  84 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> and we did at Salira.<br>
  85 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> they're taking an MS approach<br>
  86 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> they don't want HTML rendered hacks<br>
  87 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> HTML rendered hacks will happen more often in Outlook than TB is my guess.<br>
  88 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> login in to the Exchange server<br>
  89 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> open up ESM<br>
  90 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> expand the server so that you see the Protocols...<br>
  91 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> right click on the iMap virtual server and select properities<br>
  92 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> click on the message format tab and select rendering type<br>
  93 <b><font color="#cc0000">Ron Van Scherpe:</font></b> you'll have to restart the imap server<br>

  95 <b><font color="#204a87">Andrew DeFaria:</font></b> I owe you a beer (that is if they agree to it and implement it...)<br>
