I would like to configure my server to allow a few users to connect via IMAP. 
 I have enabled the Exchange IMAP Service and actually able to get this 
connection to work internally to my network, but connections fails when 
attempting to connect externally.  I am forwarding port 143/TCP on my 
firewall, but problem continues.

Any sugestions?

Thanks in advance.

Did you open Port 143 on the SBS2008 Firewall?
