POP3 Account Confusion
I am trying to configure Outlook 2003 with DMS extensions as a POP3 client
trying to logon to an Exchange 5.5 Mail Server. The client and the server are on the same LAN. I have used the Mail applet from the Control Panel to build a new Mail Services (Outlook) profile with a POP3 Mail Server. On the POP3 configuration dialog, "E-mail Accounts", the content of the "Your Name" and "User Name" text boxes appear to have no effect. When I start Outlook using this profile, I can retrieve messages from a mailbox managed by the Exchange Server. However, the messages retrieved are always associated with the Workstation logon name that I have used instead of any name that appears in the "Your Name" and "User Name" text boxes. This strikes me as incorrect. Any suggestions? |

Sue,
It looks as if you've identified my problem. Both Exchange Servers involved have an account that uses the same name that I enter when I logon to the workstation. Setting up a unique workstation logon account name seems to solve my problem. "User Name" now has to have the POP3 account name that I'm trying to access but it also has to be prefixed with its domain name. Many thanks for all your help. In regard to your question, "Do I have an Exchange Account in this profile", the answer is yes. My Mail Services profile names a "Microsoft Exchange Server" account that Outlook talks to using RPC and also another POP3 Mail Server that happens to be an Exchange Server. I can now retrieve mail from the POP3 acount I name whereas before the POP3 server was sending me mail from its account that matched my workstation logon name.

You don't also have an Exchange account in this profile, do you? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Joe in Waldorf" Joe in wrote in message ...
