First off, I am a WindowsXP Pro user with Outlook 2002.
I have set up one of the office staff to connect to our Exchange email server remotely via a VPN connection.
At issue is Internet POP3 mail and VPN. Whenever the user invokes Outlook he is forced to start the VPN connection to get ANY MAIL. That is, VPN must be running to retrieve POP3 Internet mail and Exchange mail.
What we really need to do is this:
We need to start Outlook/2002 and get Internet Mail. Then, as the need arises get any Exchange mail from the remote site Exchange Server machine.
We do not want to be forced into starting VPN before Outlook will retrieve Internet mail. We want Internet POP3 mail to be allowed without the VPN being connected at all times.
Any suggestion?
