Re: Exchange 2003 POP3 authentication failure (bug?)

A good solution here would be to have a configurable setting in the POP3 service to specify the default authentication domain, just like you can do in OWA and SMTP; this would work even in multi-domain environments, which are the only ones where this Exchange behaviour of not recognizing users by their username actually makes some sense.

By the way, I still can't understand why Exchange have trouble looking up users when authenticating with the DOMAIN\username format. If a user authenticates this way, there can't be any possibile doubt on who he is, even if duplicated usernames exist in multiple domains. So, why can Exchange look up users (and mailboxes) when logging on with the UPN but not when using the DOMAIN\username syntax?
