Hi,Did you mean you have POP3 accounts on external mail server? Then you want to make the email store on Exchange server, and POP3 accounts can connect Exchange server directlry?If my understand is right, we need to create the recipient policy for the email address, then use the POP3 connector to download the email from external mail server.For the POP3 Connector, please view the below article:http://www.msexchange.org/software/POP3-Downloaders/ThanksAllen
