How do I use an Exchange Server and a POP3 account at same time

[Guest]

Hello. I am using MS Outlook 2003 at home and have it configured to get my
personal email from my ISP. I would like to also configure it to connect to
my Exchange Server at work and let me read/respond to my work email from my
home computer. But it should leave all email on the Exchange Server (rather
than downloading it to my PST file).

Is there any way to have an Exchange Server account and a POP3 account at
the same time where the POP3 email goes to my Inbox in the PST file but the
Exchange Server email stays on the Exchange Server.

I see how I can do this using profiles. But I was hoping to avoid having to
do that because I won't be able to be in both persona and work email at the
same time. Thank you.

Brian

Hello. I am using MS Outlook 2003 at home and have it configured to
get my personal email from my ISP. I would like to also configure it
to connect to my Exchange Server at work and let me read/respond to
my work email from my home computer. But it should leave all email on
the Exchange Server (rather than downloading it to my PST file).

I do this with two mail profiles. The first one is for work and contains
only my Exchange account. The second is for home and contains only my PST
and POP account. Outlook prompts me for which one to use when it starts.

Is there any way to have an Exchange Server account and a POP3 account at
the same time where the POP3 email goes to my Inbox in the PST file but
the
Exchange Server email stays on the Exchange Server.

Not with Outlook 2003. POP and Exchange always share the same delivery
location.

Thank you Brian. I appreciate the quick response. It looks like I am using
the same solution you are (profiles).

Hello Brian,
Rather than start a new thread I thought I might piggy-back onto yours as
you appear to know the answer to my query.
I want to do what you have done : use MS Outlook 2003 at home and have it
configured to get my business from Exchange Server at work - I already have
it configured for personal POP3 email via my ISP.
However, my dilema is that my System Administrator doesn't believe it can be
done. I have asked for the work e-mail server name and i have tried
configuring my MS Outlook but I just can't seem to get it to recognise my
username. Therefore, I was hoping that you or someone may be able to advise
me what I need to ask of my Sytem Administrator and what I need to do to my
Outlook to get it to recognise my work e-mail.

The domain I am tring to use is in the following format : <server
name>.mail.<school name>.<school location>.sch.uk.

My administrator has told me: "The Exchange server does not actually ‘Face’
the web. It has a X400 mail gateway of course. But this will not allow you to
use the exchange server directly from outside school. However, there is a
front end mail server, called <Server Name>. This is what provides web
services for exchange."

I appreciate any guidance you or anyone else could provide.
Many thanks
Chris

ask the admin if pop3 or imap is enabled on the web interface. Does the web
interface use http:// or https:// ? if http and if it's provided by owa and
not some other system, you can use http protocol in outlook- you need to use
the full owa url and add your mailbox name to the end of it.

Thanks for the tips Diane. I'll see what the admin' says.

Brian,

Is such a thing possible with Outlook 2007? I too have a similar situation.
I have multiple IMAP and POP accounts and want to add in an Exchange server
-- additionally, I want to do this on multiple computers.

If I add in an exchange server, I have the option of putting all my
Exchange/POP mail on the server or downloading it all to a .pst - neither is
a good solution (storage limits on the Exchange server preclude this).

If nothing elegant exists, can such a thing be done inelegantly through the
use of rules?

Thanks,

Randy

Outlook 2007 allows you to specify where you want to download your messages
to for each mail account.
When you have an Exchange account, make it your default delivery location.
Then specify a separate folder set for the POP3 account.
Note that you can have the POP3 account as the default sending account; this
doesn't have to be the same as your default delivery location.
