#218 davmail unknown host exception

[serbring]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure the thunderbird smtp server with microsoft exchange server using davmail, but I'm not able to make it run. I get the following error: "DavMail configuration exception: Unknown host ...". I'm using a laptop with win8 64bit, thunderbird 24.4.0 and davmail 4.4.1-2225. How could I do for fixing this problem?

Here the davmail log file:
2014-04-18 15:47:11,533 INFO [AWT-EventQueue-0] davmail - DavMail Gateway 4.4.1-2225 listening on SMTP port 1025 POP port 1110 IMAP port 1143 CALDAV port 1080 LDAP port 1389

Well, did you try to use your real Exchange server address ?

Hi Mickael,

I use this exchange server address: https://exchangeSever/exchange

Thanks

Well, you have to use your actual company Exchange server address, try you usual webmail address first

Hi Mickael,

I did it, but I cannot login: the right psw is already saved in thunderbird psw manageer, but when I switch to the davmail smtp server thunderbird asks for the psw and it displays and that it is wrong even if it is right. I'm sure it is the right one.

Thank you

regards
