Hmmm, that's how I'm already accessing the account. I have to use the same domain\userid\alias before and after the NT account change. -----Original Message----- From: Foote, Eric [mailto:EFoote@xxxxxxx] Sent: 12 November 2003 22:23 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Seriously OT but you've never let me down If the alias does not match the username you must specify the pop3 logon account name in the domain/userid/alias format (I think might want to double check the MS KB) or change the alias to match the new logon id.

We use Exchange 5.5 and some software I've written recently accesses mailboxes on the server via POP3. It works nicely but if I change the login account associated with the exchange mailbox, the POP3 login account doesn't change to match. I have to recreate the mailbox to get a new POP3 login account. I haven't been able to find anywhere to set the POP3 details independently but maybe one of you good people is better at Exchange than I am. Before anyone asks, I'm using POP3 because some of my software runs as a service and some is intended to limit multiple users access to a single mailbox. For both these reasons MAPI isn't the best choice. Regards Angus
