I am in a similar situation as Chris: I need to monitor several IMAP
mailboxes, some of them on Exchange server. I'd therefore need to
provide a list of imaps-URLs to the mailboxes command. So far the manual is
clear.
However, I have somewhat "strange" usernames. For instance, on one server in
the Windows domain "COMPANY" I have an account "christoph" that's associated
with the mailbox "christoph.ludwig". Exchange expects me therefore to log on
with the IMAP username "COMPANY/christoph/christoph.ludwig".
Due to the '/', I cannot put the username into the imaps-URL. That's no
problem as long as I want to check only one IMAP server with such a username
as I then simply set imap_user accordingly and state the "simple" usernames
explicitly as part of the imaps-URL on the remaining accounts. It is not
obvious (to me), though, how to deal with several IMAP accounts that have such
usernames.
