Outlook IMAP

[Ripnrch]

I have a SUSE Linux email server, which has an IMAP server. I had an account
working on Outlook 2003 with the IMAP settings. Worked great. Had to
reinstall my OS on my desktop, and since then, have not been able to
configure Outlook 2003 to get to my IMAP server. Can get to it as a POP, but
not as an IMAP. I have no problem getting to the IMAP from my home machine,
but not from inside. All other users are using the webmail version of their
mailboxes, but there are times when Outlook comes in very handy, which is why
I wish to set it up that way.

I have downloaded all of the updates for my office products.

When I go into the send/recieve setup, the imap account is not selected.
When I click on the box to include it in the group send/recieve, and then I
try to hit the OK button, nothing happens.

Try setting up a test profile in Outlook with only the IMAP server... ?

It has to be a setting or problem within Outlook, as I just setup Outlook
Express with no problem whatsoever.

I tried that. Tried it a couple of ways. Tried it by adding a new profile,
which would initially return a message stating that the profile could not be
created, but when I went back into the Mail setup it would be there. Also
tried creating one by copying from my existing profile. Either way, I see
only my pop and business contact information. Won't connect to the imap, nor
will it show any error messages as the result of not connecting.

I did get a message at one point when I tried to set up the IMAP, that an
object wasn't found. Message didn't state which object though, and I'm not
sure if it was while Outlook was open, or from the control panel mail icon.
