I have what I think an unusual setup, I have a few mailboxes setup, orders, info and qa. These mailboxes are setup to allow IMAP, I then have at least 4 users having constant Outlook access to these IMAP mailboxes (qa has 8 users). Also all these users are accessing these IMAP boxes internally.

I want a different method of multiple users accessing these mailboxes preferably not using IMAP. I'm open to suggestions as this would have to be put forward to the board for approval.

I know I have been very brief so ask me if you want me to elaborate on anything in particular.

Is there some issue that IMAP has or feature that it lacks that you're trying to get with this new method? – phoebus Dec 16 '09 at 9:03
Not really, I just don't really want to be using IMAP at all. – stead1984 Dec 16 '09 at 10:17
POP or IMAP is all what you may have. – Andrejs Cainikovs Dec 16 '09 at 10:30

"I don't like IMAP" is a terrible reason to do something. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! If there's a specific problem you're trying to solve please let us know and we'll try to help you out. – larsks Dec 16 '09 at 11:16
I want certain users to have more control of the mailbox for a start. – stead1984 Dec 16 '09 at 11:44

You've got 2 options:

  • Setup public folders for each of the mailboxes and have mail delivered in there
  • Setup another exchange user, deliver mail there and share folders with other users

Why are you using IMAP for this? Why not just have the users extra add the extra mailboxes to their Outlook?

I think thats probably the way forward. Can multiple users access the same mailbox and can I assign certain privelages to certain users? – stead1984 Dec 17 '09 at 9:08
Yes and yes. It's how we share accounts. – John Gardeniers Dec 17 '09 at 11:51
