Re: Exchange to POP3

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

There's also Outlook over http.... You need to "enable" your mail server to be the "Pop" box like an ISP.

Turn on pop service, open port 110. But do realize that the password in that case goes over plaintext.

Ok, while this may seem dumb, I have to ask. My network is SBS2003 R2.
Recently upgraded to have RWW, Exchange, Fax, VPN etc. We have three
employees that work out of the office 98% of the time. I thought RWW
would be their ticket to get emails and connect to the network. I also
set up a VPN connection which allows them to VPN to the network, open
Outlook and sync with the Exchange Server. That works fine. BUT,
there's gotta be a BUT. When traveling to hotels, coffee shops, etc,
sometimes the VPN does not work, which I assume has to do with the
routers/firewalls on the other end. Personally, when I work from home I
have zero issues. But I have created a real headache for these three
other guys.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to make an exchange account a
POP3? If I am not clear, by having a pop3 they dont need to VPN to the
network, and as long as they have internet access they can get their
mail.

While I know that you might think "Duh, why not RWW?" One of them
complains its too slow because he uses a satellie connection. The other
is on dial up, which I didnt know, and I havent heard the other guys
problems, but I am sure he has the same issues.

I dont know that there is a solution to the problem. All I find is
articles on getting POP email to Exchange. I want to do the opposite.
Ideas?

Thanks
