How to configure the Exchange 2007 POP3 service

June 18, 2007 at 8:22 am | In Technology | 4 Comments

This one had me stumped today, so here it is for the benefit of others. (Solution found on MSDN forums)

There is no reason being scared about configuring the secure POP3 service on port 995 for Exchange 2007.

  1. Open the Exchange 2007 Management Shell (PowerShell)
  2. Set MSExchangePOP3 service to automatic (not enabled by default)
    Set-service msExchangePOP3 -startuptype automatic
  3. Configure IP Address and Port for POP3. To use POP3 with SSL, run the following command:
    Set-PopSettings -SSLBindings IPaddress:Port
  4. Configure POP3 Authentication. If you want to use TLS encryption before authentication (enabled by default), run the following command:
    Set-PoPSettings -LoginType SecureLogin
  5. Enable POP3 Protocol for the User Mailbox (enabled by default)
    Set-CasMailbox MailboxName -Popenabled:$true
    To find out the current setting, run the following command:
    Get-CasMailbox MailboxName
  6. Configure the SMTP Receive Connector on the Exchange Server to Allow Anonymous in order to send Email using the following command:
    Set-ReceiveConnector “Servername\default Servername” -PermissionGroups
    “ExchangeServers,ExchangeUsers,ExchangeLegacyServers,AnonymousUsers”
  7. Restart the Microsoft Exchange POP3 Service to apply the settings
    Restart-service MSExchangePOP3

Hope this helps somebody out there.

Excel 2007 workbook has [Group] in the title bar

Excel 2007 title bar with [Group] in it

… and everything on the Data ribbon is disabled

Excel 2007 data ribbon disabled

… and all sorting and filtering is greyed out

Sort & Filter ribbon command is greyed out

This is because you have two or more worksheets ‘grouped’. A worksheet can be grouped by holding CTRL and selecting an adjacent worksheet.

To ungroup the worksheets, right-click the worksheet tab at the bottom of excel and choose ‘Ungroup sheets’

Ungroup sheets on the worksheet tabs context menu

Dave is blogging

After some light persuasion, fellow Canberran - Dave Jansen is now blogging. (RSS Feed here).

I’m looking forward to hearing about his recent travels with WiX custom actions and his TFS server running out of TempDB space. Hey, maybe he’ll even do a presentation at the Canberra VSTS User Group for me?
