POP3 Question about Configuration SteveS 25.06.2007 21:41:01 What would be the best way to simply setup POP3 for my SBS2003 machine? Should I just go through the Configure E-Mail and Internet Connection Wizard - then do the POP3 connector setup (to setup my users and their mailboxes)? My email is hosted by my provider. I could simply take the easy around and setup everyone's Outlook to use SMTP/POP3 to get their emails. However, what we want to do is have our SBS2003 pull down everyone's email - then everyone uses their Outlook to simply connect to the SBS2003 to get their email. If their are any articles/documents on this too, those would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks in advance for your help. There's an even easier (and far better) way, which is to host your domain's mail directly without using POP at all. You have a mail server - so you don't need anyone else's to receive mail for your domain. You can do this even with a dynamic IP address from your ISP.

However, this customer I'm working wishes to not host their email - but rather use their hosting company to process all the email and filter out spam. My customer just doesn't want to invest the time or extra $$ (for anti-spam or tech support) to do their own hosting of email.

I suspect they don't know what it entails, nor why POP connectors are a very bad idea and will likely cause problems (=tech support needs) far beyond what they'd experience otherwise. All my clients host their own mail, and of all the calls I get, email delivery problems are the rarest.
