955.0. "Exchange 5: problem w/ dial-up internet and pop3" by NETRIX::"berner@mail.dec.com" (Michael Berner) Sat Mar 22 1997 05:49

Here's the scoop:

Testing out Exchange 5.0 (release can. 1) on an Alpha. 25 users. Mail
internally runs great. We can even get the system to dial out to an ISP and
connect in 5min intervals. The problem is we cannot pull down the pop3 mail
located at a different ISP than the one we are calling (if that makes a
difference). The mail is stored on an NT machine running Altavista mail
version 2. Exchange does not seem to have any way of including a pop3 username
and password on the mailbox profiles. We can't SEND mail to the internet
either.

Troubleshooted:
DNS - OK
IP - OK
NT passwords are the same as pop3, now.

I appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks

955.1Are you sure fetching from a POP mailbox is a feature ?tunsrv2-tunnel.imc.das.dec.com::fosterStan Foster - foster@mail.dec.comSun Mar 23 1997 01:078
I'm not certain but I didnt think Exchange 5.0 would pull mail from 
any POP server.. It will dial the ISP etc but it is expecting to get 
mail vis SMTP using deferred send on the ISP, not via POP3.

There are widgets you can use such as pullmail which will fetch from 
a POP mailbox and repost via SMTP which would do what you want.
