Cannot login

I am not able to login to Exchange using Thunderbird or Telnet.
I installed DavMail in a Windows 7 PC connected to a company domain, and configured its access to an Exchange server in the same domain.
This is the telnet session trace (with private data omitted):
open localhost 1143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 AUTH=LOGIN MOVE] IMAP4rev1 DavMail 4.5.1-2303 server
ready
01 authenticate login
+ VXNlcm5hbWU6
<domain\\username in="" base64="" encoding="">
+ UGFzc3dvcmQ6
<password in="" base64="" encoding="">
01 NO LOGIN failed
I meant "domain\username in base64 encoding" and "password in base64 encoding".
For example, if domain name is "DOMA" and username is "me" and password is "000011112222",
the last-but-four line is RE9NQVxtZQ== and the last-but-one line is MDAwMDExMTEyMjIy.
First stop is to check davmail.log for errors.
You can also try to connect with a web browser to the Caldav HTTP listener to make sure DavMail is able to connect to Exchange.
One last suggestion: try to set default domain in DavMail settings and use simple username (instead of domain\username) to connect
