Hello Everybody,

For hours I've been messing with an issue which baffles me.

For a client with an SBS 2003 with not an active domain name yet, I tried to use the pop3 connector to get some mail going.

I did all the settings for a few users like emailserver, port, username, password.
Type of postbox I used postbox of users, and i chose a mailbox.

I also configured that the undelivered mails should be sent to this same mailbox.
Also configured the SMTP-connector.

Sending out mails goes super, no probs. But receiving mails back keeps failing.

At first I thought that it was because some ports were blocked, but after some router/firewall tweaking I tried using outlook express on the SBS server and that worked.

Then I found out somewhere here in the forum the next folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Networking\POP3\Incoming Mail

After sending an external mail. It ended up here. However after a bit it disappeared from there, but not in the users mailbox.

My question is, what goes wrong with the forward of the POPmails to the mailboxes, and what can I do to solve this issue.

Many thanks in front, and by the way, I know SMTP is better ;-)

I think your problem will be solved by now, but to clear up one point,
you don't need any ports open on anything at the SBS end to collect POP3
mail, as that is an outgoing connection (unless you have ISA, which you
clearly don't).
