In your dial up configuration in the pop conector chech for your
credentials. It has to be your pop account rather than your ISP account.

You can chech ith telnet your conecctions to your external mail provider.
just put in the host section de ip address of the isp mail server, in port
try 110 (pop server) and the type it doesn't matter, but you can leve it in
VT100
to get access to your account in telnet, after connection has been
established, you need to type:

USER XXXXXX
PASS YYYYYY

Where XXXX is your user name and YYYY the password

If you had a response of:

+OK QPOP (version 2.53) at yourisp.com starting.
USER XXXXX
+OK Password required for XXXXX.
PASS YYYYYY
+OK XXXXXX has 0 messages (0 octets)
quit

then the problem is in your side (maybe you conector). If not, check your
isp credentials and try again. if you are shure about your credentials check
with your isp the configuration.

Before Exchange connector, ther was another utility called POPBEAMER. We buy
it then and works perfect, even better than the exchange connector.

Hello there.

Not so long ago we installed a Win2k machine with SBS2000. We are making
extensive use of Exchange (the Mac client is great), but currently we are
limited to internal email since the server refuses to pick up external POP3
mail.

Currently we operate on a dial-up connection, and Exchange's POP3 Connector
is set to collect mail from an external POP box and distribute it on an
hourly basis.

This is not happening. The server dials and establishes an ISP connection,
but is unable to make a successful connection with the external POP server,
and this is reported in the error log. Internal emails are fine, as are
outgoing messages since the SMTP Connector seems to be working fine.

I have checked MS's Knowledge Base, and the only apparently relevant article
talks of using the "real" external server name (e.g. Pop.isp.net) rather
than its IP address. I have tried both methods but with no luck.

Can anyone shed any light? It is frustrating to have such a high class
internal collaboration system, but to have to rely on Hotmail to communicate
with the outside world.

Cheers.

Giles.
