Re: Exchange to POP3

Ok Jeff. Thanks. I think that will get us going. The one guy who has
dialup will be going to satellite soon, he is just waiting to move.

Susan is suggesting the option of configuring Outlook 2003 (the e-mail
client on each users laptop) to work when away from the LAN by using what's
referred to in Outlook as "Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP". You
don't have to be connected to the SBS LAN for that to work and when going
back to the SBS LAN you don't have to do any reconfiguring of Outlook. The
laptops on my SBS network are all configured that way so there is no
configure/reconfigure between going on the road and coming back home. As
for the users that have dialup I don't know of much you can do to get over
that hurdle short of a higher speed Internet connection. If users get
accustomed to how Outlook functions while on the SBS LAN (which would most
likely be between 10mbps up to 100mbps) and then go on the road and either
dial in or use a high-speed Internet connection those speeds could be
anywhere between 26,000 bps to 3mbps which is a big difference from LAN
speed. And if their mailbox has not been synchronized recently and there is
lots of mail to transfer from Exchange it will not happen nearly as quick
when away from the LAN. These are not problems related to SBS or Outlook
but just the difference in network connection speed. Hopefully if the users
have some understanding of how their system is communicating with the SBS
they can mentally prepare themselves when they are away from the LAN.

Not so sound stupid, but would that mean everyone's email would now be
POP? 110 is already forwarded. The whole idea behind the SBS was to
keep copies of their messages and so that they have access to their
email anywhere. If I switch to POP does it still store the messages on
the exchange server?

They do use the Outlook web access via the remote web workplace. Is
that what you meant?

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
