Dear Rod,
if you are doing a test environment, i advice you to go to third party
software which will allows you to connect to your POP3 Server running on
your local ISP and download all the emails to thier destination recipients,
such third party software are like exchangepop3.com, i personally tested
this application and it is fantastic, and it is not expensive if you want to
by it.
here is the link for this third party application.
http://www.exchangepop3.com/
Note that Exchange 2000 and 2003 does not have this feature , to connect to
pop3 server and downloads the emails to the coresponding mailboxes.
regards
Alaa Al-Ankar
