I have a fairly unique situation. SBS running a company,
exchange hosting their mail, all using PC's - hunky dory.

I have a division of that company using some Macs, with a
different mail address requiring POP mail access and
access to the same files on the server. PC's have no
problem with 2 profiles in outlook & Mac's have no
problem logging into network for internet & file access.

Problem I have is how to get pop mail access on Mac OSX
without resorting to VirtualPC (no budget!).

I can add smtp mail to their existing profiles and use
outlook for mac, but sending mail reverts to the
exchange.local default outgoing email address.

POP mail clients on mac (entourage, OE, IEmail) all fail
to permit POP mail.

Please help & email me direct if necessary.

Thanks

I'm not sure about what you want: Macs to receive POP3 mail from the
SBS/Exchange box or from a POP3 server on the outside world?

BTW... are you using .local in your SBS AD domain??? I think there's a
problem with that extension and OSX 10.1 clients... might be totally
unrelated, but you might want to take a look at it.

You should be able to use multiple domains in Exchange and pull down e-mail
that way, possibly using the POP3 connector. You could then install the
(free I think) Outlook client for Mac.

I have really no experience with a Mac... but if you can access Exchange
with the Outlook client as you would with the PC... then is a matter of
adding the correct SMTP address to that user. You don't necesarily want to
host multiple domains in Exchange (definitely if you are going to use the
POP3 connector you will not need this).

If you still want to go the external POP3 server route... then I suggest you
review how you are granting internet access to those clients. Take a look
at:
http://www.smallbizserver.net/sbs2000/How_do_I_connect_a_Macintosh_client.aspx
take special care in steps 3 and 4... make sure that you are not blocking
access.

Actually, I have no more information about that... is something that I came
across in the SBS2k3 NG and it's (AFAIK) not version specific. Maybe someone
can find some more info on the subject (Where's Susan when you need it???
:-) )

Javier has pointed out a good resource. I looked at this when setting up
some Macs. However, I must confess that being a Windoze addict I still
haven't got round to sorting out access to shared folders on the SBS etc.,
partly because the Macs we have don't really need it - e-mail and web access
suffices.

All of the Macs were put in by a separate company, and what amuses me
slightly is that these depend on their own Win2k servers (three in fact)
which are now member servers on the main office network...
