I have an exchange server and usually I access to email using "domain\username" and password...

using # Replace user, password, server and port in the connection string
# Set port as 993 for SSL support
imapdb = DAL("imap://user:password@server:port", pool_size=1)
what can I type in the user ? I tried "domain\username" but I cannot access...
Thank you

I believe we dropped support of DAL('imap:...)

I am telling you not to use DAL('imap://...') any more. If you need to use imap, use imaplib https://docs.python.org/2/library/imaplib.html
We are no longer supporting imap as part of the DAL. Nobody was using it and it is not the right abstraction.
