Re: EXCHANGE: Outlook 2007 Cannot collect Exchange Mail

I am now a little confused. You say "I disabled POP3 for a test (we are
only using IMAP4)". If you are setting up a "Microsoft Exchange"
account in Outlook, then you are not using IMAP - you are using MAPI,
or RPC over HTTPS (which is what I have assumed until now). RPC over
HTTPS is the preferred approach, but you will need to set this up while
your computer is connected locally to the LAN at the office. Once set
up, you can then use if offsite. Again, if Outlook 2007's auto setup
doesn't work then configure the Exchange account manually.


I'm sorry for the confusion. I last touched Exchange about 2-3 years ago. Maybe I just used the wrong term.

Why can't I setup everything logged in remotely with RWW ? If I can setup a system locally I should be able to also do it remotely (unless of course I have to physically do something on the PC).


If you are to use RPC over HTTPS remotely, you will need to have your
Netgear router forward HTTPS (TCP port 443) to your server's internal
IP address. Even though you have run the CEICW, I would advise checking
this manually via the router's admin interface. Even though the CEICW
can use UPnP to configure your router (provided the router also
supports and enables it), many people prefer to do configure their
router/firewalls manually.


Yes I configured the router for port 443 and 4125 as well.

FYI this is the reply that I just received from dynDNS .....

====================================
I checked all of the name servers and I was able to get a reply from all
of them. Your mx records look fine. You may be having a local dns issue.

I'm also able to connect to your email server.
====================================
He then went on with a list of all the tests performed ..... All OK

I'm just wondering about that "local DNS issue". I'll login and check the IP addressing.
