SBS2003, Outlook 2003, POP3 from client PC



Hi all,

Current situation:
We have SBS 2000 with three clients.
On these clients we (and by that I mean our boss, the one who pays us)
can get mail though Exchange and we can also send and receive mail
direct through POP3.

New situation
We have just installed a new server with SBS2003 and wanted to go live
tomorrow. At the moment this isn't looking likely. Our mail box on
Exchange is fine, but we cannot send or receive anything through POP3
on the client machines.
I've read lots today and know that many of you hate the idea of using
POP3, but it's not my choice, it's the boss'.

As far as I'm aware, we didn't do anything special on the SBS 2000
setup to get POP3 mail working, it just did (after running the ICW).

Any ideas? At the moment I think I'll be working althrough the night
:-(

By the way, we're not techies. Our SBS knowledge is gleaned from the
net and two books by Russel et al, and Neale et al.

HELP!
Boris
