Hello,

I am migrating from SBS2003 to SBS2008 Std, and would like to know if anyone
knows of a third party POP3 Connector which will work on SBS2008 (as pop3 on
SBS2008 will not do Global Mail). On SBS2003 we use EFS
(http://www.chimera.co.nz), but that EFS does not work on SBS2008. I really
do not want to move on to SMTP mail at this stage during the migration. Once
the server is install and working with all the users up and away then I might
move the Client to SMTP mail.

This is my first migration so want to keep it as simple as possible.

Many thanks for your help.

JP

Hi JP:

I don't use POP3 for SBS servers, as SMTP is much better.

If you can't find one you like, then I suggest you delay the migration and
get SMTP working on the SBS 2003. No need to complicate things by trying
to do both at once.

Personally I am with Larry. Get SMTP working first. If you insist on
not getting it working first in days of old I used to buy PopBeamer.
Everyone is doing SMTP now so I have not purchased the product in
years but it worked great back in the day.Seems like a needless
expense. http://www.dataenter.com/products/popbeamer.htm

I agree on the SMTP solution is so much better.
But if you want to, use POPCON from christensen software.
It will work on the SBS2008 and you can use it it trialmode for 30days (time
enough to change to the "real" deal)

Best regards

Realize of course you are making more head aches for yourself by adding a
POP3 connector.
I have never had to use the POP3 Connector in "ANY" SBS migration
At most I make sure backup MX Records (Which I recommend anyway.)

Adding something in a migration may cause you more issues.
The Amount of time you spend on configuration of the POP3 Connector
is longer than the time just to move everyone over.
(And since I work on a Per Hour Basis, Me charging more for wasted time is
frowned upon.)

There is the SBS2008 POP3 connector
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc527480(WS.10).aspx

If you need to Configure your mail server to answer for email for more than
one domain.
http://www.petri.co.il/change_primary_email_address_in_exchange_2007.htm

IMO POP3 should be considered DEAD and not ever used again.

Be sure to configure all PC's Laptops with the http://connect
when adding them to the domain
this will configure RPC over HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere) on the Laptops
And your users will be "VERY" happy!
