I have SBS 2003 sp1 with exchange setup for 10 users. OWA works fine, but a few employees want to be able to get their company emails into their local and personal Outlook for review, when able to get online. I tried pop settings mail.companyname.com with users sign on and password their sign on and password from work, but couldnt authinticate. I cant find much on this. Thanks for any help. Corky

I cant find much on this. Thanks for any help. Corky You'd have to a) start the virtual POP3 server b) open up port 110 inbound in your firewall/forward it to your Exchange server and c) not care what happens to your data. Seriously, don't open up POP; you'll regret it. IMAP is a slight improvement, but if your company doesn't wish to restrict their access to OWA only for security reasons, the best answer is RPCover HTTP (aka "Outlook Anywhere") or let them use Remote Web Workplace to access Outlook directly on their computers in the office ("poor man's terminal server"). I suggest you post in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs, as SBS does many things its own way. However, if you run the CEICW you should see where you can allow Outlook over the Internet (which is RPC over HTTP) - and in your main RWW webpage you should see a link with instructions on how to set it up. The folks in the SBS group will also be able to help you out with this.
