    Email accounts with exchange

    Is there a way of reading email accounts (or mailboxes) that are in Exchange Server?

    All our email is going to be handled by  Exchange, and we need to work out how we are going to get OnTime to use exchange to create items from emails.

    I think I found out how to do it my self. The way I did it is to enable Pop3 access of exchange.

    By default with exchange server (2003 I think) there is a pop3 service (under administrative tasks- services) which is off. I enabled this.

    Then I made sure that the user I was login in have pop3 protocol enabled (on 2003 its under server management ->users->user name->properties->exchange features tab)

    I also needed to make sure the basic authentication was working.

    So under server management I go to Adv Mang.-> Exchange -> admin groups -> my admin group -> servers -> my servers -> protocols -> pop3 -> my virtual server -> right click -> properties -> authentication.

    To make it work I need to choose basic authentication, with "requires ssl/tls" unticked. This last bit seems to make a security hole.

    It would be good if OnTime would work with "Requires ssl/tls encryption" ticked, as this would be more secure.

    If this is ticked then I get an error when testing with OnTime. 

    I did find another site which suggested ways of setting this up to guaruntee a secure system - I haven't mentioned everything they do, so this might cause some security and/or other problems.
