I installed Exchange 2003 with Active Directory. I activated IMAP but only my admin acct works..?

Question

I cannot seem to figure out why my personal account (a domain admin) and the administrator account on the domain can do IMAP but all my users cannot. Any help appreciated!!

Answer 1

Make sure that the IMAP protocol is enabled on each user's record in AD. Run ADUC. Open a user object and click on the Exchange Features tab. Click on IMAP and click Enable. Click OK.

You can't control this with security groups, it needs to be set on a per-user basis.

Answer 2

Usually, you have to enable IMAP for each user from Exchange Tasks. I too support bostonianinmo's answer. But i dont know how the admin account is getting access.

Answer 3

It's a permissions issue. By default, domain administrators have these permissions. By default, users do not.
Making all users domain administrators is a bad idea for obvious reasons. The solution is to create a security group that has permissions to use IMAP (and whatever other permissions you want), then add users as members to that security group. Then your users can have the access you want, without the full control of domain admins.

Answer 4

In Domain (ADS) other user acts as a dump user.
They do not have rights.
they are just to request service from server.
Admin have full right only they can access or work it on.
But for your personal account you can put it in Administrator group for having full right or for accessing.
If everyone can access then there will be no difference in admin and user.
