>Checkout the following MS KB article and webcast.
>
>Support WebCast: POP3 Mail Flow in Microsoft Small
Business Server 2000
>
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;324704
>
>The KB article also includes the Powerpoint file and the
transcript for the
>webcast. Slides 17-22 discuss global POP3 mailboxes.
>
>You shouldn't need to create an email account for "don"
since "don" is not a
>user in the domain, just a POP3 account with your ISP.
Now, if "Don" is an
>actual user in the domain (which I suspect you are) who
will be receiving
>email via the POP3 connector, then I'd get with the ISP
and change the name
>on the global account to reflect something like your
business name. For
>example, if your business name is "mycompany", maybe
shorten that to
>myc@sew.com.au and then use this as the global mailbox
account at your ISP.
>Then you enter this on the proper ICW (Internet
Connection Wizard) screen as
>the global account that the POP3 connector uses to
retrieve all email for
>your network.
>
>
><SNIP>
>(Slide 19) Configuring for mail retrieval. There are
three ways to configure
>the POP3 connector to receive mail: one is a global
mailbox; another is an
>individual user mailbox; the third is routing POP3 mail
from an external
>mailing list. Configuring each of these configurations is
described in
>detail in the Small Business Server Help.
>
>(Slide 20) On the Connect and Download tab, you can
configure global
>mailboxes by clicking the Add button. Once you have a
global mailbox
>created, you can edit or remove it by selecting that
mailbox and clicking
>the appropriate button, either to Edit or Remove.
>
>(Slide 21) A global mailbox receives and stores messages
from several e-mail
>accounts or e-mail aliases in a single POP3 mailbox
that's located at your
>Internet service provider. After Exchange Server
retrieves the messages
>through the POP3 connector, it routes them by matching
the account or the
>alias names listed in the e-mail message headers to
existing Exchange
>mailboxes.
>
>(Slide 22) The Password and Confirm Password fields; we
compare these to
>make sure that they are identical. If they are not
identical, a warning
>dialog box will come up and require the user to make the
fields identical
>before we accept the password. The user can click Cancel
at any time to
>revert to the original settings. When you click OK,
another check is done
>against the user name to make sure that it doesn't
conflict with an already
>existing user mailbox. If it does, an error box will pop
up indicating this
>name is a duplicate, and asking the user to change it.
>
>There are also three authentication methods available:
basic authentication,
>APOP hashing and CRAM-MD5 encryption. Secure socket layer
encryption is not
>supported. Note that most ISPs will want authentication
via clear text or
>basic authentication.
