Thanks for your reply!  What a great user community.
And thanks to Mr. MacGregor too.

With a little help from the Exchange Server admin I got squared away.
He had to turn on logging on the server, and then checked the log.
We found error 0x80040920 every time I tried to authenticate.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296387

He opened up my account in the Windows Directory server (or Exchange server)
and changed the mailbox alias so that it matched my Windows Login name
"user1"
The mailbox alias was  "User.1"  (where User is my first name and "1" 
was my last name"
He also adjusted the primary and secondary SMTP alias, but I don't know 
if that was necessary.
It was primary SMTP Us...@do...
and secondary smtp  us...@do...
He swapped the two.

Immediately after that it works fine.
So I am all set.

BTW, it can also fetch other folders in *my* mailbox.
with

      -r "INBOX,Spam/Spam - Quarantine"

on the command line.

My .fetchmailrc looks like this:

set postmaster "linuxuser"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set logfile /home/linuxuser/.fetchmaillog
set no syslog
poll mailserver.win2k.domain.com with proto IMAP, auth ntlm user 
"user1@win2k" with pass 'MyPassWord' is linuxuser here options fetchall

My crontab looks like:

*       *       *       *       *        /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -L 
/home/linuxuser/.fetchmaillog -t 10 -B 10 -r "INBOX,Spam/Spam - 
Quarantine" > /dev/null


Seems to work GREAT!

Thanks again.
