They may not know better but they should know better.
They have a tax program that does not encrypt SSN numbers appropriately.

I think you've presented a great weakness of POP3 in general - and less of a distinct difference between the use of a global mailbox versus individual mailboxes.
What's better?
One username and one password with credentials for ISP access to mail for the entire domain, or multiple usernames/passwords for ISP access to individual mailboxes?
Sorry for taking this thread a couple steps away from the subject line.

Well I hope they are not setting up individual email accounts all sending a username/password in plain text over the web.
As Accountants they should know better to treat passwords without regard to its' secure handling.
At least with a global box you are only exposing one password... not all users passwords.

Isn't the inabilty to deliver BCC mail only applied to the use of a catch-all "global" POP3 mailbox?
And in the event of a BCC message hitting a global mailbox, when the connector can't read the headers (to look up email address info for local delivery), it will route to the mailbox designated for failed delivery messages for the domain (typically, the administrator mailbox).
If they are using "user" mailboxes where there is a direct pop3 mailbox to exchange user mailbox relationship, then there is no issue with BCC'd messages routing to the recipient's exchange mailbox.
Or am I mistaken in this in some way?
I'm not arguing in favour of the POP3 connector as a long-term mail solution. Like others in this thread, I see SMTP as the better choice, but there are some locales and environments where POP3 suffices beyond just the recommended transition to smtp.
Cheers,

If these are USA beancounter.. sign them up for the Microsoft accountants network MPAN program and sign them up for the action pack.
With the amount of money they save in software get them to smtp.
Pop connector will not deliver BCC email.
They do realize this yes?
(sincerely... Accountant as well and email is never "instant")

SBS Exchange, when bringing down POP3 mail from an outside (third-party) POP3 mail server, has a least set value of 15 minutes to check the designated mailboxes (mail-call...per se).
Are there any hacks out there, or other possible settings, that can bring that time value down to a lower check interval?
I've some Accountants that want instant results...
