Asterisk + Exchange 2007 != Unified Messaging

So, in my last post I praised Microsoft. In this one I’m going to a little bit of bashing. Hold your applause. :-) Those familiar with Exchange know that in previous version, an Exchange Admin user could log into another mailbox via POP3 or IMAP using the Domain\Username\Mailbox Alias. I was hoping to use this to then setup a IMAP storage for voicemails in Asterisk without having to know each users password. Alas, this is not possible with Exchange 2007. I don’t understand why they removed this feature. I have suspicions that it might be related to their own Unity Messaging solution (but I think that just because it thwarted my attempts of getting some of the same functionality without using their solution).
