Hello,

I have an Exchange 5.5 server. A few of my users need to be able to use pop3
clients (Outlook Express) to retrieve their email from outside. I have setup
the DNS entries and all and I can access the server from outside. But for
some reason clients cannot authenticate to the server. I have check and pop3
protocol is enabled on the server. Actually I have no clue how the
authentication from pop3 clients should work. What account name and password
should they be using... domain?Name: John Doe
Alias: JDoe
Email: JDoe@mydomain.com
Domain: MyDomain
Domain Acct: JohnD
Password mypass

I have tried the following in the account setup for outlook express:
Account:
jdoe
johnd
jdoe@mydomain.com
mydomain\jdoe
mydomain\johnd
doe

Password:
mypass

None of these allow me to authenticate to the server.

Thank you for your help.

You should be able to get all the POP3 acount info from you mail provider or just look in the config on the Exchange Server. The Domain Name, User account name and password. Then you just need too enter the info in Outlook Express. Hope this helps!

I am the mail provider. I am running Exchange Server. I do have the domain name, user account name, and password. As I have shown in my question I have tried those things.

Thank you.
