Thank you for your responses. So, my next step is to choose a 3rd party POP3 downloader. They seem to come in all shapes and sizes (and prices). Which ones are currently the most popular amongst this crowd, and are there any to stay away from? Many Thanks, Tim McDonald Seattle Repertory Theatre -----Original Message----- From: Watkins, Richard (DTF) [mailto:Watkins.Richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 11:46 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Download POP3 without 3rd party software? http://www.MSExchange.org/ There is a Microsoft POP3 connector if you are running Exchange on Small Business Server 4.5 or 2000...refer to: http://www.microsoft.com/sbserver/downloads/POP3.asp <http://www.microsoft.com/sbserver/downloads/POP3.asp> Regards, Richard Watkins -----Original Message----- From: Alfonso Lopez de Ayala [mailto:alopezdeayala@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, 1 May 2002 0:25 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] ~~RE: Download POP3 without 3rd party software? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Nope... Microsoft explicitly says that there's no built-in feature from Exchange to download POP3 e-mail from an external server... so yes, only option is to use 3rd party POP downloader for Exchange... (Microsoft is so obnoxious sometimes!)... not sure what you mean by "Exchange provide passwords to POP3 server": again, Exchange cannot work as a POP3 client (without 3rd party downloader)... hope this helps... -----Original Message----- From: Tim McDonald [mailto:timm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 2:06 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Download POP3 without 3rd party software? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Scenario: Exchange 5.5 with an internal IP address, Linux-based POP3 server with an external IP address. Outlook clients are setup on both exchange and internet e-mail, but I would prefer to use exchange accounts exclusively. Question: Is there a way to have Exchange automatically download POP3 password protected mail accounts without using a 3rd party POP3 downloader? Possibly through the internet mail connector and relaying? If so, how does Exchange provide passwords for the POP3 server?
