Start and Stop the IMAP4 Service

  • Artikel

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

By default, IMAP4 is disabled in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. After you enable IMAP4, Exchange 2010 accepts unsecured IMAP4 client communications on port 143 and over port 993 using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

You can start and stop the IMAP4 service by using either Microsoft Management Console or net start on the Exchange 2010 Client Access server. You can also check to verify whether the service is running on the Client Access server.
