Re: cannot connect to pop3 on exchange

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

For POP3 to work the Exchange alias has to be identical to the username.
That does not prevent you from using different email addresses.

Hi,
I am running sbs2003 standard. That is my exchange mail server with pop3
enabled.
When I try to configure an pop 3 client to retrieve the mail over the
internet from that server, I can do so only for the users whose username
matches their email alias. For some users Ive changed primary smtp email
to
firstname.secondname@xxxxxxxxxx while their username remained first
intitial
lastname. I connected to my server via telnet and when I try to log those
users on, I get an "unknown user" error. If I try another account with
identical email and username (first initial lastname) it is successful.
Other
than that email works fine (exchange and owa) .
Please help
Alex
