Mozilla Thunderbird w Exchange 2010 Pop3

Hi guys,

I am completing rolling out a new Exchange 2010 server at work. Unfortunately, not everyone is connected to Exchange. We have folks out in the field still using numerous clients and also on Pop3. The goal is to get them all on Outlook connected to Exchange, but that is going to take some time.

I have two clients who decided to run Mozilla Thunderbird (and have for years) it seems.

They are setup via Pop3 and are going to stay that way for awhile.

That said, we are coming from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. So we are now in SSL mode. We normally don't support TB, however we have to for these two users.

I've messed around with incoming and outgoing mail settings but just cant seem to get it to work.

Does anyone have any idea how to successfully setup a Pop3 account with TB and Exchange 2010?

Thanks.

 

First, I wouldn't open up an Exchange server to external POP3 anyway - it would be much better if you simply had them use Outlook Anywhere (OWA, it used to be called) via a web browser.

That said, if you really must use POP3 this article should help:

Completely agree but its not my decision. Trust me if it were, POP3 would not be allowed.

Will check out the article. Thanks.

 

My Exchange server is fine, its just the client setup I need help with.

Thanks.
