POP3 Access From Any Email Client

Email clients, such as Eudora, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Pine, etc., cannot access the hosted Exchange environment via the default protocol (MAPI) created by Microsoft. Instead, they must access email via POP3 or IMAP.

Note: POP3 access does not allow access to most features of Microsoft Exchange. While you are able to send and receive email, you will not be able to share your Calendar, Public Folders, Global Address List, etc.

To setup a POP3 client for Exchange 2007:

Incoming Server Name (POP3): exch1.MyOutlookOnline.com
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): mail.MyOutlookOnline.com
Username or Account name: MAIL\username


To setup a POP3 client for Exchange 2003:

Incoming Server Name (POP3): mail.MyOutlookOnline.com
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): mail.MyOutlookOnline.com
Username or Account name: MAIL\username

Use the default ports:
incoming port: 110
outgoing port: 25

For (SSL) connections use ports:
incoming port: 995
outgoing port: 465

NOTE: To enable outgoing email, you need to tell your email client that the outgoing server requires authentication and that it is the same as the incoming server settings.

If your ISP blocks port 25 you can set your email client to communicate with our SMTP server on port 587.
