Users are not able to retrieve messages using Outlook Express from exchange server. Details are as following. 1 One Server is installed by Nawasi with Windows 2003 Standard Edition with Exchange 2003 Standard Edition, (New installation). 2 All security patches are installed on the Windows Server, except Windows 2003 SP1, Service Pack 1 for Exchange is also installed. 3 POP3 Service is running and also enabled in the Exchange 4 POP3 access is only working on the Server, I am able to connect and retrieve messages on the Windows 2003 Server by connecting to the local POP3 port of the exchange server by using Outlook Express. 5 But if the 5 workstation try to connect and retrieve messages from the Exchange server 2003, using outlook express, it is not possible. 6 To further diagnose the problem, I have telnet the exchange server IP with POP3 110 port address, I was able to logon by using USER and PASS, and I was also able to use LIST command to retrieve message list, but the problem start when I try to RETR message. It just hangs and does not retrieve message. 7 Five Workstations are able to connect and retrieve messages by using MS Outlook 2003,IMAP and HTTP, the problem is with POP3. 8 I have checked the properties of the POP3 Protocol under exchange administration tool, all the local LAN IP has permission to connect. It is important for us to use POP3 applications.
