I use Outlook 2000, but this is not a problem in my case, as I don't use
Exchange. If I did though, I could get around it by copying all my mail
from Exchange into a local .pst, hit the fantabulous "Reconfigure Mail
Support" in Outlook and specify "Internet Only", then add the IMAP account
and proceed as before.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
