OK....I stand corrected. One connector is all that I had. It was drawing
mail from two different ISP mail accounts. I was getting confused on the
wording. Anyway......it was configured during CEICW. It seems that the mail
is getting to the server but something is not letting it get to the Exchange
Mailbox . The Exchange addresses are selected for each persons POP mail to
be delivered to so that shouldn't be the problem.
