How Use Outlook and Sharepoint Meeting Workspaces Together
Often times, Microsoft gives multiple ways of accomplishing a task. In the early days of computing this was quite an "innovative" idea. Old DOS (TTY) software was plain text with a menu, and to accomplish a process required a certain precise set of steps.
Today, we no longer live in a "menu driven" world, this has it's benefits and it's liabilities and Microsoft Office / Sharepoint integration is no exception to this rule.
This tutorial is designed for people who use Microsoft Office and Microsoft Sharepoint and who want to make the most of a "Meeting Workspace"

How to use IMAPSYNC with Yahoo IMAP
It took me quite a while to get this all worked out. So once i figured it out I figured I should document it for prosperities sake.
IMAPSYNC is a cool tool that let's you sync folders between 2 IMAP style mailboxes. If you use Ubuntu (and why don't you?). You can get it from apt-get with this command
sudo apt-get install imapsync
The syntax is fairly straight forward, until you want to sync with a "Yahoo" IMAP server, because the Yahoo server has a few 'tricks'.
So to make it easy just grab a copy of this perl script
BWebCentral - imapsync-yahoo
Which will allow you to select the imap yahoo server correctly
Technical Details:
The servers for syncing with Yahoo are
1) imap.mail.yahoo.com - For standard unencpted imap
2) imap-sll.mail.yahoo.com - For SSL Encrypted imap
How it Works:
The orginal imapsync, sends the login command as "Login". For strange reasons yahoo will not authentice with "Login". Instead you have to use "login" or "LOGON". So a simple change to remove the uppercase "L" fixes this
Yahoo IMAP requires a secret command to be sent at the start of the session, otherwise it will not authenticate you.
This command is "ID ("GUID" "1")". Thanks to

Have fun syncing your imap folders
