Small Business 2003 with POP 3 accounts

[marocain28]

Hello to all of you,

I just did an upgrade from a Windows 2000 SBS to a Windows 2003 SBS, everyhting is running smooth for some time now with very minor glitches.
My concern is email retrieving(I am steering my firm towards hosting emails in exchange(SBS), however right now we are using POP3 accounts to retrieve emails.
People are experiencing slight delays in retrieving emails and not sending it.
I wonder if i have to use the POP 3 connector in the Internet wizard for every user, setup mailboxes(POP3) to local inboxes....
However, if it is the case, why is email still being delivered(may be because i have checked the email directly download messages to exchange)....
Thanks In Advance.
TT

PS: I am using the option to route emails trough DNS, is that correct?

You need to define every single POP3 mailbox in the POP3 Connector, retrieving all individual POP3 accounts, and assign them to their respective internal user (mailbox).
The minumum retrieval time you can set is 15 minutes, if you need it shorter, you may have to revert to a 3rd party option.

I agree with everything Marcs41 said. Sounds like you may also have users with the POP3 connections configured locally.

I hope you find this post helpful.
