I need some assistance as I am unable to get incoming mail.
Can you help me get incoming mail to work - perhaps I have configured
Outlook incorrectly?
Please bear with me as I am just starting out with Active
Directory/Exchange server/Outlook
and this posting is long as I have given all the details of setup.
Active Directory and Exchange was set up by someone else.
Configuration
==========
ISP: bigpond.com.au
MX - mail exchange record points to my server
Mail account: accounts
Domain: vh.local
Website: www.vh.com
Server
Windows 2003 service pack 1
Exchange Server
Active Directory
IP: 192.168.0.10
Client
Windows XP Professional service pack 2
Outlook
192.168.0.103
What I have done
=============
I have set up 'accounts' user in active directory and also set up a
mailbox.
I can send out outgoing mail from the client.
Incoming mail to the client does not work and I get an error message
when 'Test Account Settings' of 'unable to connect to the
incoming mail server(POP3)'.
The mailbox works OK as I can see incoming mail when I go onto Internet
Explorer and to this address:
http://192.168.0.10/exchange/accounts
Setup
====
Display Name: Accounts
Email Address: (e-mail address removed)
My Incoming Mail Server is POP3
Incoming mail server: 192.168.0.10
Outgoing mail server: mail.bigpond.com.au
Account Name: accounts
Password: *****
Remember password <- checked
Logon secure password authentication <- unchecked
Questions:
=======
1. Should the incoming mail server be pop.vh.com?
2. Should the incoming mail server be mail.vh.com?
3. Should the incoming mail server be vh.com?
4. Should the account name be vh\accounts?
5. Should I click onto secure password authentication?
6. Are there any other tests I should run or logs I should check?
7. Is there anything obvious I can do to get the incoming mail to work?
