Hello,

Can we use Exchange Server to receive personal POP3 mails?

Right row, we are using our outlook to receive personal POP3 mails.

thanks

Personal messages? Do you mean that everyone has their own account at
a load of ISPs and log on using unique passwords etc? Or do you mean
that you have a single ISP and can log in with an administrative
account and pull every message down?

If it's the former don't try as your users would have to give you
their account passwords. If it's the latter then Google POPCON if you
must.

I'd advocate against it though.

Then you surely don't expect to individually enter each persons
account and details into POPCON (which you can do, if you really
want)?
Can't you just create the connection on the Outlook client as an
additional provider. This will allow all mail to come into one store
which in your case will be your Exchange mailbox. This is, to be fair,
a bad idea though because any replies will come from your corporate
address since it's a royal pain to manage sending from both accounts
and getting it right.

I'd avoid using Internet Mail & Exchange in the same profile - it will
confuse users. And if this is a company mail server, it's best to avoid
mixing up business & personal mail. Have users access their personal mail
via mail2web or the hosting company's webmail page and keep it off the
server.
