I'd like to suggest to you using Nginx instead of Apache as a proxy.
I've had a lot of trouble with the sharepoint protocol and there is no IMAP Proxy using Apache.
And Nginx it's pretty fast.

Hi mf_in_ffm,

I too am using nginx as a proxy and am unable to get the shrepoint protocol working. Could you guide me what changes are needed?

My Alfresco installation is 4.2.D with default installation on port 8080 and 8443.

Thanks in advance
