It depends what client you're using. I've got IMAP working via OE6.0, but it doesn't work very well using Outlook XP (shows folders but no contents except for Inbox). That said, Outlook XP has never been a very good IMAP client, esp compared to OE. IMAP settings for OE are: Root folder path: Inbox Sent Items folder: Sent Drafts folder: Drafts Also, don't forget to turn on SSL (both SMTP and IMAP, ports 25 and 993 respectively.)
