Getting Outlook 2003 POP3 msgs back into the Exchange IMAP mailbox

G

Guest

We have existing Exchange POP3 users would are going to starting using
Exchange IMAP.

How do I get the Outlook 2003 POP3 msgs/contacts/etc. into the Exchange IMAP
mailbox?

I have experimented and added the IMAP mailbox to the existing POP3 account
and dragged the inbox pop3 msgs into the IMAP inbox, but the msgs date/times
get changed to the present time. This is not right.

Comments??

Thank you for your time.

I forgot this information.

The POP3 user is not on a LAN with a direct connection the Exchange server.

Is it possible to make an Exchange account when one is not directly
connected to the Exchange server?

I would need to connect to the Exchange server via the internet.

How do I address the Exchange server when setting up the Exchange account
via the internet?

You can do this by either creating a VPN directly to the office or configure
Exchange to use RPC over HTTP

It is a little bit more complex than enabling IMAP access for users but in
the end you'll get much more out of your Exchange server solution.
