MS Exchange POP Solution required?

You can either use outlook express that comes with 2000 for pop3 which will download or you can setup personal folders and direct the e-mail to download to personal folders in the exchange properties in the control panel.

Good Luck!

Well there are to software I now that is free. One is outlook express with come with IE 5.5 but the security is a baer to deal with.
Second is some times over looked. Netscape Messanger. It is very reliable and somewhat user friendly. I have used Netscape 4.77 with messenger for some time and have little treble. Were as outlook express you have to upgrade every couple of moths.

Last is a shareware version of Eudora 5.1(don't now the newest rev). If you can take the ads that come with it. I have had some bad errors with w2k but all in all it is OK.

Best Luck

For POP3 with Exchange you should talk to your ISP to find out what address you should "finger" Basically you add the command "finger (isp address)" this then initialises their mail server and will download all mails that are waiting for your account. There is a field in the connections tab on Exchange that relates to running a custom command on the mail retrieval screen.

Good Luck.

I think Eudora still has a Lite version that is shareware. This will get you POP3 email downloads. If they have a PC, they probably have IE. IE comes with Outlook Express which is a great POP3 Mail client.

I use a product from Mailgate called POPWEASEL it is not free but it is not expensive and you can download it from www.mailgate.com then you can trial it. I use it for 2 separate 'virtual' domains eg someone@domain.isp.com and it works superbly. Other products were tried but either did not work reliably or had to be setup on a different machine to Exchange.
