Re: POP3 CONNECTORS

Hello,

Basically, I still seem to be unable to configure pop3 connectors on SBS2003.

I have a test home network, which I obviously use for work. At home, I have created a yahoo email address i.e. username@xxxxxxxxxxx

I have an SBS2003 server and 3 workstations. An ADSL router with port forwarding to the server. I have internet access and all else appears ok after running appropriate tests. No errors in event log.

In SBS2003 in Exchange, I have configured the pop3 connector as follows:

Email server:	pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port:		110
Username:		yahoo username
Password:		yahoo password

Mailbox type: 	User Mailbox
Exchange mailbox: 	Administrator

Yet, when I log onto a workstation as administrator and setup Outlook, then run the email test, a window appears which keeps asking for the username and password. I have input my yahoo username and password numerous times. The username and password it requires is obviously my email username and password.

I then try logging into yahoo with the same details and it works fine. Is there anything I am missing?

Many thanks,
Jeff

If Outlook is set up to use Exchange, you should login to Exchange (with your domain credentials, not Yahoo's). Exchange will periodically login to Yahoo (using the credentials you stored when setting up POP3 connector) to fetch your mails.
