Hello, I have setup an exchange server running 2010 on my test domain. I have the server running just fine, domain dns pointed to server, etc... Everything works great inside the network, and I can even access owa outside the network as well. I have to click on past the certificate warning, but still able to access just fine. Send/recieve is working just fine also. I am even able to access my email using outlook from outside the company, using the exchange setup within outlook. My only problem is coming when I try and access pop3 from outside the network. I am able to turn pop3 on within the exchange server for my email address, but there is a certificate issue when trying to access my email account from outside the network using pop3 setup. I am able to setup pop using outlook from within network, but not oustside. Is there another step that I missed along the way in order to get this to work? I have some employees who only have the pop option on their phone, so Im going to need to figure out how to get it working before putting into live environment. Thanks in advance for any help....

From the outside try to telnet to server on port 995 and see if port is open. Please share the error message. Also configure the POP protocol logging as this will give the details about what's happening at protocol level.....use the link below & share the logs please. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997690.aspx Regards, Pushkal MishrA

Thanks, I will try and do that this evening. When setting up pop3 outside the network, I am able to get that outgoing test message that outlook sends back to myself, but just fail to connect to incoming mail server. Didnt know if that would be a sign of my problem or not. I will get those logs later.

Hi, Please verify if you have correct configure the settings for POP3 authentication.

Any Update to this please...Regards, Pushkal MishrA

sorry, wasnt able to try until yesterday.... It seems that any changes made to the pop3 settings require a restart of the service, which seems to have fixed my issue. Thanks again...
