Microsoft Exchange Server
Nick Thorne
an ASUS V1J Laptop running Windows XP Pro.
I have a regular client company whose network I normally join. I have a
mailbox on their domain and can send and receive email via a suitably
configured connection in Turnpike and their LAN.
Last week they changed servers and now run Microsoft Exchange Server.
I'm told by the their IT guys that, whenever I'm connected to the
Internet via their new server, I can now only send and receive email via
Outlook or Outlook 'web access' in a browser. I suspect that this isn't
the case.
I've configured the sending of email via their new server for all my
accounts including my client's one using Turnpike. Mail collection
however remains via Outlook. This obviously splits my mailbase. Is there
a way to configure Turnpike to collect mail from a Microsoft Exchange
Server? The help files for TP don't seem cover the specifics and
Googling around doesn't seem to turn up much either.
Any suggestions or hints gratefully received.

Exchange has a POP3 server, you can connect to that using Turnpike. Of
course your IT guys will have to enable POP3 access on the Exchange
server.
I receive my company email using Turnpike by POP3 from an Exchange
server.

It depends on what you and they mean. In theory, Exchange can do POP3
and IMAP (for you to get your mail), but MS do not recommend it (it's a
very serious resource hog).

Of course. But the real issue is configuring Exchange to allow this and
I suspect that the answer will be no.

Not overly surprising!

Get used to having two mail clients (I've had this for several years and
actually find it a bit useful - it keeps things separate).

This is certainly correct. But MS suggest not enabling POP3 unless there
is an urgent corporate need.

I can't - my current (and previous) employer did not enable POP3.

On our exchange server I just have it set to forward all mail that comes
into my exchange mailbox on to my 'home' account on Turnpike - which, of
course, can all be routed to a particular folder. (And mail form that
folder can be given an appropriate personality to look as if it comes
from the 'company' mail address.
I don't suppose that is a usable compromise?

original post I have asked my client if they could enable POP3 or IMAP
on the server and they, predictably, said no. I'll ask them about mail
forwarding.
