Mailtool URL to an MS-exchange server

Mailtool is of great interest to me mainly to get a formatted listing of 
folders & messages from IMAP mailboxes.

Unfortunately although I have built it OK on RH9, when connecting to our 
Exchange servers IMAP address which is normally used by IMAP MUAs, it 
fails with message "Name or service not known".

Now our exchange login names are in format abcd/efghi/<email-name> * so 
a mailtool command would resemble:

mailtool -list imap://abcd/efghi/j.smith-8an/[email protected]

If I try & query with mailtool -list j.smith-8an/[email protected] it then 
prompts for a password which of course fails because its an illegal 
userid for our exchange server.

Has anyone managed to make mailtool work with an MS-exchange IMAP server 
please ?

Regards

Les Oswald

* FYI "abcd"=windows domain "efghi"=windows login name 
"<email-name>"=recipient part of e-mail address
