Re: Exchange emails not visible at client computer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The client has a wierd setup thanks to unhelpful hosting.

They use names.co.uk as hosts who do not provide an smtp sender for the pop3
mailbox. So we use their pipex smtp settings to send mail.

So without exchange in the frame, we have two accounts setup that are used
to collect email and one of them is used to send but claims to be the other...

useless hosting as per usual...

So the intention is to setup collection from both pop3 incoming email
servers and then the set up one outgoing smtp hopefully - though i'm not sure
- exchange can send to the one smtp server with each differnet users mail
identity presented... is that the correct understanding?

Can I ask how you have the Outlook client set up for email accounts?
Which accounts are listed there?

Yes I am and it is cofigured correctly - as Dave Nickason suggested - i can
see the mails disappearing from the pop3 server as i collect them.

Then they are visible under the first storage group.

I haven't checked the logging yet - i'm not back on site until Thursday
evening and i really have to get the whole company switched over to be able
to collect emails to outlook when they are in the office and use the web
interface out of office to get to the server. All that seems to be working
but have to make some final tests once i am happy the email is right.

Its really odd looking.

I did wonder if there was some setting like "Only accept email from this
domain" meangin the host domain. I sent the emails from hotmail as tests.

I want to go in tomorrow night fully prepared with the right things to check
to quickly get to resolution. Main issue is that the director was the test
persona nd i nearly killed their email - i'll set a test account up on
Thursday i think...

So to sum up - any advice on the tests i should focus on would be lovely.

Just to confirm my understanding of smtp sending as well:-

All the users have pop3 email accounts related to the company domain which
is hosted by names.co.uk - we won't have that internal for some time.

We use the old pipex email service as the smtp sender but i gather that i
only need one smtp account as each person's email will be send with their
details as the reply to etc. So i just need to set up any one of their old
smtp accounts to send - Is this a correct assumption? If so then we should be
sorted.

Sorry to ask so much but SBS 2003 is different to the last server i
implemented - sometime before the dawn of man it seems...

To be a little clearer - I am able to see new emails arriving at the
server
by looking at the count of emails, but when i start up Outlook and connect
to
the exchange server, i just see one email no matter how many are
apparently
waiting to be read.

This is quite infuriating. I even resorted to removing the user entirely,
as
the emails were all test ones i had generated myself, but this changed
nothing.

Hi all,

I've set up an account for a user and they can login in to the domain
perfectly well. I've configured the exchange server to collect their
emails
from the POP3 server where all their emails arrive (just one person out
of
the company who has been nominated the test person).

When I use the Exchange Management view I can see that there are 3 emails
waiting to be viewed but when I go to Outlook on the client computer, i
can
only see the welcome message.

Is there a configuration that would stop the emails from being visible or
is
there something else i need to do?
