IMAP REFERRAL error

Hi,
My IMAP server at work has switched to REFERRAL scheme where it redirects the IMAP request to another server. The trouble is, my standard login procedure does not work anymore.
KMail gives me the following error:

Authorization failed, Unable to login. Probably the password is wrong.
The server SERVER1 replied:
[REFERRAL imap://DOMAIN%2FUSERNAME;AUTH=*@SERVER2/] The requested mailbox is not available on this server. authentication not supported

Until sometime ago, SERVER1 was the mail server, now it seems its not and I cannot set SERVER2 directly in KMail as its not reachable directly across the network.

Please reply if you need more info. I am trying to avoid booting into Windows if I can to access my mail. As of now, I can use web based email but that has a very short session timeout so pretty much useless for regular work.

The mail server is Exchange V 8.0.

Thanks.
How come I can never come up with something original as my signature?
