Overview

POP2Exchange is a system that collects email messages from POP3 mailboxes and routes them to mail servers, it downloads emails from a POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) server, processes them and sends them to the local mail server. This process can connect to the POP3 server through Dial-Up or Dial On Demand connections since POP3 servers still use this technology. This article describes the configuration process.
