setting up pop3 email

I know that by default the pop3 is not setup for users on Small Business
Server Exchange 2003.

I wonder if anyone could give me some direction about what exactly I need to
do so that a user with Outlook express can get his email via the pop
connector?

thanks

The POP connector isn't for users to access their mail. It's used to
download mail into the Exchange server (and I don't recommend this).
I also don't recommend you use POP for your users - Outlook or OWA, much
better choice.

I have two circumstances where it is necessary. One, I have an outlook
express user, if I'm not mistaken, he doesn't have the option of connecting
to the server any other way.

The other, I'm trying to connect 3 users from a remote outside location to a
small business server 2003 exchange server and download their forwarded email.

Can you give me some pointers? Thanks

OWA - but why not set him up with Outlook 2003? You're given it with
SBS2003.

What do you mean by forwarded?

If they have WinXP SP1 or SP2, and OL2003, RPC over HTTP(s) is great.
Otherwise, VPN, or OWA. Or, create AD contacts for each user and set up
forwarding so the mail is sent out to their external accounts, which they
can check however they like..

Hi Lanwench,

interestingly they have the latest technology. They would enjoy the
connection, but this is a hostile relationship.

What I have done is separate two partners. The one partner is generously
sharing his domain name while the other slowly changes over his clients to
his new domain.

So... on partnerA with the old domain, I have created 3 AD accounts /
exchange accounts and then I hoped to connect partnerB with a POP account in
their individual outlook2003 apps.

The 3 PartnerB people would then continue to receive their email via POP for
about 2 months until PartnerA gets tired of assisting them. This way they
don't have passwords given to them, they just simply pull mail from the
PartnerB server while they make the change over

What, like making them sit on opposite sides of the station wagon back seat?

Well - if it's required, what can you do. I don't have a lot of experience
with it as I never open it up....sorry.

Hi Lanwench,

thnaks for your patience in helping me. I've been completely stupid. Not the
first time either. All I needed to do was forward the email from the old
domain server to the new partners, new domain addresses (don't know if this
makes sense to you, but it does to me).

In any case, yes the station wagon analogy is appropriate. It's funny how in
a situation where all involved act like children, a total stranger (me) can
sometimes walk right up and play parent. It's like they are just looking for
an excuse to behave but up until I make them, they don't have it.

Thanks again.

Glad you've got your problem licked, and best of luck with all of this. :)
