Note Because of file dependencies, this update requires Exchange 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3). For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: To change the IMAP4 banner:

1. Apply the feature that this article describes.
2. Stop the Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service.
3. To set the property keys in the metabase, use syntax that is similar to the following syntax.
   
   For example, to set the IMAP4 connection string, run the following command from a command prompt (where the_new_connection_string is the string that you want to include in the banner):

   smtpmd SET -path imap4svc/1 -dtype STRING -prop 49884 -value "<the_new_connection_string>"

   The following values are the other values for the metabase keys:
   • IMAP4ConnectionString - 49884
   • IMAP4DisconnectionString - 49885
   • Imap4TooManyInvalidCommands - 49886
   • Imap4Timeout - 49887
