keeping a copy of message / POP3

[Kader66]

Hi everyone

we have win2003 network with Exchg2003/SP2.

Many of our employes works outside of the office and they use outlook/POP3 as client.

I need to force these employees to keep a copy of their messages (Sent&Received) in the mailbox store of the server.

I can do it from the client side. but I need to know if is it possible to do it from the server or active directory ? and force the client to keep a copy on the server.

Thanks for your help

Exchange journaling will keep a copy of your mail:

You could reconfigure the Outlook client to use RPC over HTTP as a means of not drawing the mail off the server. Obviously, it will not stop them from deleting mail, so depending on what your exact requirements are, the journaling may be a better option

RPC over HTTPS would not only accomplish that, but would do away with all of the shortcomings of POP3.

thank you

A question about RPC over HTTP/HTTPS

I have only one server hosting the mailboxes store. Is it correct to configure the RPC over HTTP/HTTPS on that server ? is there any impact on the security or perfomance on my server ?

Tks

Yes, you can do it with one server. I believe there are some tutorials on how to do it at msexchange.org.
