[Imap-uw] IMAP + SSL + PHP in Windows

[Queisser, Michael Rowell]

Hello all:

First, hello everyone! I hope this is the right list to submit this.
Apologies if not.

Next, background. I am configuring a web-based PHP helpdesk application
that is supposed to connect to our Exchange server and download emails.
The environment is as follows --

* Windows 2008 Server
* PHP 5.2.6
	-- php_imap says that its c-Client version is 2004, which is
puzzling. 
	-- php_imap also says that SSL is enabled
* IIS 7

When I try connecting, I get the following message, 
----
Account being parsed is [**my email here**] 
Time Limit: unlimited secs 
Memory Limit: 64M 
Failed with error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)
----

After some research, I see that there have been several noted bugs with
PHP, the php_imap extension, and SSL IMAP connections (especially to
Microsoft Exchange). So, I thought I would ask whether anyone has been
successful with a situation similar to mine (where authentication
fails). If so, and, if you happen to have a compiled .DLL or two out of
the whole process that connect to Exchange or other IMAP servers, I
would be eternally grateful if you would let me try using them.
Otherwise, any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you all,

-mike
