POP3 connector

Stop me at any point you may feel this is a daft question...
I want to use a POP registered email address to deliver email to an exchange outlook mailbox. This outlook mailbox (Helpdesk) sits idle with no one looking at it. Instead I am using Spiceworks to check the mailbox for any new items and pull them
into it's helpdesk function.
I understand that if I add a POP3 account, in account settings in Outlook then it works fine, however here lies the problem...
The only way I can get this to work is to open the 'Helpdesk' mailbox in outlook, it syncs with the pop account pulls in the emails (which tells me the POP connector in SBS 2011 is working) and in turn spiceworks captures the mail in its helpdesk.
But this isn't a workable solution as the pop account only syncs when the Helpdesk Outlook mailbox is open...
Hope that makes sense, please help...

Hi Mike,
Based on your description, did you mean that POP3 mailbox can only be synced when the Helpdesk outlook mailbox
was opened? Or anything I misunderstand? If any update, please feel free to let me know. Thanks for your understanding.
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

How to pop3 connector works ?

Hi all,
i'm thinking to write a my own pop3 connector for exchange. While is quite simply write code in c# to retrieve e-mail via pop3 connection, i have a doubt on the mechanism wich is possibile to send downloaded e-mail to exchange users.
Could someone help to understand ?
Thanks in advance.
Dom.

Maybe
this code help you for the part to send mail to exchange server?
A good popconnector is not easy to make, much of free pop-connectors are having much of problems... We are using payed versions of popcon or Hexamail for our customers.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Mail;
public static void sendEmail()
string fromEmail = "";//sending email from...
string ToEmail = "";//destination email
string body = "";
string subject = "";
try
SmtpClient sMail = new SmtpClient("");//exchange or smtp server goes here.
sMail.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
//sMail.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username","password");this line most likely wont be needed if you are already an authenticated user.
sMail.Send(fromEmail,ToEmail, subject, body);
catch(Exception ex)
//do something after error if there is one
Code from user Esteban M
You must also check the receive connector on the Exchange server. The connector must accept e-mail from the ip-address your are running the software.

SMTP and POP3 connector for ORACLE8i

I've heard that there is a SMTP and POP3 connector build in into
the ORACLE8i Release ?
I saw this on a technical demonstraion ...
Now i look for the documentation and configuration hints.
Where to look - or isn't it yet available ?
Thanks in advance

Properties.put("mail.smtp.host","www.hotmail.com");
... is correct, but if you are permitted to make a connection I'd be surprised. Well, no you can't, the buggers won't let you. You need to use Pop3 + yahoo and be a registered user, eg;-
Store.connect("pop.mail.yahoo.com", -1, "yourIDname", "yourPassword");

Changed from Windows sbs2003 to SLS 10.6 -No POP3 connector?

I have a site (5 users) who have moved from Windows sbs2003 to SLS 10.6
They only have a POP email account with their ISP, how can SLS Mail collect POP email from an their ISP?

I don't think there is a built-in solution in MacOS X for this/
Maybe FetchMail is your solution: http://fetchmail.darwinports.com/
Why don't use the Mail Service on its full power?
Maybe Alex (pterobyte) has something to say about this

11004 error SBS Exchange 2003 SP2 with POP connector. Exchange version 6.5 7638.1

Hello
I am getting loads of errors displayed in Event Viewer Application log like:-
Event ID 1035
A error occurred in connecting to the <xxx.xxxxxx.co.uk> POP3 server for user <[email protected]>. The error is 11004. The server may be down for maintenance
or your server is not connected to the Internet.
Event ID 1023
The downloading process for mailbox <[email protected] [mail.XXXXXXXXXXXXX.co.uk]> was ended with one or more errors.
The Server has 3GB memory and 64GB free disk space on the parttiion supporting Exchange
Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting scheme?

Is this machine running SBS? Is this an error that's logged by the kludgy POP3 connector? If so, that connector isn't part of Exchange -- it's something the SBS folks added. You'll have to ask our question in a SBS forum.
Keep in mind that a POP3 server will lock the mailbox if the messages are being checked by another client (unlike Exchange which allows multiple POP3 sessions). That would cause those 1035 errors to be logged by Exchange.
When you combine the 1035 with the 1023 events it looks more like connectivity problems than an Exchange problem. You might want to use a network monitor and see if the connection's being dropped.
In any case, good luck with Exchange 2003. It's no longer supported -- but I don't think your problem is related to Exchange but to the SBS add-on software.

How to map with GW8 Server external POP3 mail accounts ?

I have "small" simple problem. I have GW Server 8.0.2. I have GW Internet Access (GWIA) installed. I can send e-mailes from clients to internet via built-tin SMTP protocol. It works actually.
But... I try to find place in C1 or wherever else which is responsible for setting list of external POP3 accounts, accounts placed on my current Internet Provider's server. So my simple need is to map, to be able to connect and download as server GW and to server GW many POP3 accounts from my current e-mail Server. And than which e-mail adress (external POP3 account) should be saved to which mailbox / user in my GW Server. I'm not talking about mapping that accounts indirectly, via setting in Clients !!! Everything must go via GW Server and automatically.
I dont want to change that state of course (= reach e-mailes from Internet directly to my local GW Server changing MX in DNS of my domain). Nope. I just want to map, to download posts from external mailboxes via POP3 or IMAP protocole. Nothing else.
I'm fluent in Microsoft systems. There is just simply POP3 Connector for Exchange. SMall utility whish is simple list of login, pass, POP3 server adress and name of mailbox where to save such downloaded e-mailes. I just need the same functionally utility or page in C1 or any other place ;-)))
ANY HELP ?
Cause Google are blind for that simple "problem" :-((( I know - Novell describes POP3 solution in GW8 Admin book, but... only as I want to be POP3 Server for external clients. This is slightly different, reversed sittuation :-]]] I want to connect to POP3 accounts, not to server POP3 accounts :-]]]]

You need to use an "old" tool called pfa (pop forwarding agent) that came with SBS.
You set the external email server credentials in the user's object via C1 and the java applet runs on the same box as your gwia.

Exchange 2013 pop3 setup

can anyone point to link for beginners to setup pop3 exchange 2013?

Hi twink58,
I am not familiar with SBS server, it seems there is feature called POP3 Connector in SBS server. If it is what you find, I suggest ask SBS forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=smallbusinessserver
However, in Exchange on-premises, you should enable and configure POP3 as Amit suggested.
Then in Outlook, you can add pop3 account:
Manual setup or additional server types -> Next -> POP or IMAP -> Next -> input server information as pic below:
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.
Thanks

Configure POP3 mail collector.

Hi.
I need to configure a POP3 mail connector in Exchange 2013 to download email from a catch all mail acount at our ISP.
For technical reasons and because of reliability issues with our internet connection we can't put our exchange server directly on the internet and we need to make use of a POP3 global catch all mailbox and SMTP forwarder configuration.
Can somebody please explain to me how I can configure this in Exchange 2013?
I got the SMTP forwarder sorted out but the POP3 connector just does not work.
Can I set this POP3 connector up in Exchange 2013 or do I have to use a third party connector like with Exchange 2010?

You will have to use a 3rd party connector and contact that vendor for support. There is no native POP connector for Exchange 2013.

This issue has been resolved. The solution was to enable the fax connector (Exchange management Console/Server Configuration/Hub Transport/Receive Connectors/Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive [Servername] = Enable.

Cant join PC to domain and not able to send emails

Hi
I'm having a few issues with a SBS 2011 Standard server. To give you a setup overview
Server x1 (SBS 2011)
Workstations x6 (4 running Windows 7 Pro and 2 running Windows 8.1 Pro)
The server is used as domain controller and exchange. It doesn't host the web domain - emails are directed via a pop3 connector to exchange accounts
Main use for server is file sharing, domain control and exchange
The server and workstations connect into 8 way Ethernet switch
This switch is then connected in BT 2wire business hub
The LAN ran from 192.168.0.69 (server) to .70, .71 etc while BT hub was 192.168.0.253
OK now the problem.
Everything was setup and working fine until BT decided to block the IP from web. BT said to factory restart the hub which we did. This fixed the internet to hub but screwed up the LAN. The new hub IP was 192.168.1.254 so the LAN was moved from 192.168.0.x
to 192.168.1.x
The first issue I am having is that I cant join a new pc that was rebuilt to the network. I have tried joining via right clicking my computer and changing domain, but when I enter in the domain and admin password it says it cant find the domain?
I then tried the http://connect but that just loaded a blank page. I'm struggling as to how to connect this pc now. I tried to change the DNS on pc to the server LAN address but that didnt work either. I'm not sure if the domain controller is working or
if its another issue?ow.
Also on the pcs that are still connected, every time they login the mapped drives to the server dont open. the user has to try to open the drive and then enter in their username and password to open the drive. The drives are all shared correctly and this
is only happening now.
The 2nd issue I have is unclear as if its still a BT issue or not, but when a user tries to send an email the get an instant bounce back saying
COL004-MC1F51.hotmail.com gave this error: OU-002 (COL004-MC1F51) Unfortunately, messages from 86.XXX.92.XX weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since
part of their network is on our block list.
This happens on a number of emails not just hotmail
When I checked that IP on the spam networks it had no record of it being blocked.the server has internet access ok and can receive emails fine, just not send them.
I dont know it both issues or connected or not.
would anyone have any ideas on what to try? first issue is getting this pc on the network. have been told that it needs all sorting for Monday morn, so any quick advice would be great.
thanks for any input

Hi,
Could you please share the IP Address of the server ?
Make sure the server is set to Static IP Address. With one NIC card enabled. DNS IP should be pointing to the server IP itself.
On Client machine assign an IP address and make sure the DNS is set to Servers IP Address.
Once that is done , Try to ping the server.
Also ping connect from the client machine , Connect should show servers ip address.
Keep me posted.

Do i need to be a technology expert in order to secure it?

Hello Everyone,
I received an offer from one of the top oil & gas employers in the gulf region. I will be responsible for server & desktop systems hardening, network security hardnening, and other IT security related tasks. One of the critical server systems that
i will be going to harden is Exchange 2010 server. I don't have much experience in Exchange except basic installation and creating couple of mailbox-enabled users. My question is, do i really need to know how the e-mail system works in order to secure it?
I mean my job is going to be a pure security job and i will not configure SMTP, POP3, connectors,..etc. The same applies to other technologies, for example, do i need to know how Lync, Hyper-V, System Center servers work first prior securing them?
Appreciate your prompt response.

Good point Paul and thank you.
I agree with you that having a strong knowledge on a specific technology will greatly help in the journey of securing it. However, in-depth understanding is not required as told by some info sec friends. For example, do you really need to know about technology's
installation software prerequisites, server roles placement, emails got stuck in the Queue, failure in the SMTP service, database maintenance, and stuff like that as a full time Exchange admin knows? Of course it will not hurt to get this knowledge but it
will hurt me in terms of time as i need to quickly focus on the security side of the equation. I don't have the time to grab an Exchange cookbook of 780 pages and read them. I already have tens of security books that i need to read and finish.
What do you think?

Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

Hi,
I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured.
Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
Regards
Faisal

POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol.
Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge.
Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

Using Mail in Exchange Environment

Looking for how-to tips on getting Mail to work in an Exchange environment. Do not want to use Entourage. Also, what ports need to be open so that I can use SMTP for gmail and mac accounts. Company I am working at appears to be blocking them for security reasons.

Mail can't connect to Exchange servers using the native protocol. There needs an IMAP or POP3 connector to be installed, activated and set up on the Exchange server. That way you can connect to the server using POP3 or IMAP protocol. To send, the SMTP service needs to be active on the Exchange server. In short: there is no way to connect to an Exchange server like Outlook would do. If the server is set up to act as a "normal" POP3/SMTP/IMAP mailserver, you can connect to it.
For GMail: SMTP (sending mail) uses port 25 or 587 as a standard (where 25 is the mostly used one), POP3 (receiving) uses 110 by default.

Fetchmail (or something similar) on Mac OS X Server

I would like to have Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 (with its standard Mail Services) fetch emails from remote POP3 accounts and put them into users' local email accounts on my server (from where they will be accessed through IMAP), basically like what fetchmail or the POP3 Connector in Microsoft Exchange Server does. How do I do this? As far as I know, this is not possible using the standard GUI tools.

This program just forwards all email from POP3
accounts to SMTP. That would work fine, except it
needs a user to be logged in on the server.
<daft workaround mode> Well, if you are concerned about leaving the server 'open' you could always create a second user account on the server (in Preferences: Accounts NOT workgroup manager), make it a non-admin and enforce "simple" finder (which hides all disks etc and allows only specified apps). Log out serveradmin and log in as new account. The server will quite happily carry on behind the scenes.
<more workarounds mode> Set up Mail with the pop accounts, set a rule by 'account' which simply redirects (not forwards) mail to the relevant iMap accounts.
I've no idea whether it would work in reality - just seemed a simple, grungy 'workaround'

Exchange Server 2010 Edge - Port Change

I am learning Exchange 2010 and have set it up. BUT my ISP blocks port 25 so I thought no problem I have a windows VPS set up I will install an Exchange Edge Server there and then it will work. However it looks like exchange uses port 25 to send the messages
to the Edge server.
I have used this command to change the ports of the send connectors but my router shows it is still trying to send on port 25. Any ideas?
Set-SendConnector “EdgeSync - Home To Internet” -port 2525
Set-SendConnector “EdgeSync - Inbound to Home” -port 2525
Get-SendConnector | fl
shows the ports as set to 2525
Any Ideas?

For home learning I would recommend you approached this from a slightly different angle.
Don’t make any changes to your servers that you would not encounter in a real environment.
Get a POP3 connector (POPCON is cheap) and pull all email from your gmail account using that application.
That application will then dump the messages using SMTP to your Edge or your HT (you choose)
Outbound messages are obviously SMTP and you can configure your servers to authenticate to your ISPs relay and send messages in the normal way.
