I know there's Win32::OLE out there, and while I haven't looked at that option, I'm really trying to stay out of requiring a Windows box for this particular objective. What I'd like to do is run parsing for our abuse inbox which is a public folder on our exchange server. For simplicity sake, lets say its 'Public Folders\abuse'. I've tried several perl modules including Mail::IMAPClient, Net::IMAP (unsuccessful... ugh), Net::IMAP::Simple, Email::Simple, and Net::IMAP::Client; all to no avail. The most recent debug I have is from Mail::IMAPClient:

Help would be awesome... if this can be done in *nix that would be preferred, if this has to be done in Win32::OLE then well... crap, guess I have to look at that. THX!
