purdue exchange accounts in thunderbird

I was afraid this wouldn’t work, but it appears to work just fine as long as you treat your Exchange account as a straight IMAP account (with Purdue, at least). These settings worked for me:

Server Type: IMAP
Server Name: exch.itap.purdue.edu
User Name: your shortname
Email Address: shortname@exchange.purdue.edu
Use secure connection (SSL): checked (port changes to 993)

That’s it!

I’ve been using this for a while (I’m on DSL via resNet, so the SSL connection isn’t required). About a month ago, I started getting this error:

The current command did not succeed. The mailserver responded: Unrecoginzed internal error 0×8004050a

However, the mail is still retrieved and I can read and send mail.

Thanks for posting this. I was using exchange.purdue.edu for my server and it suddenly stopped working and this fixed it.
