Collecting mail from server
I want to use the server as my mail server to send (SMTP) and receive (POP3) email for just a few users.
I want to be able to send and receive mail from different locations (I move around) using Microsoft Outlook laptop.
So far I am able to send mail using Outlook from my laptop (I have added the IP for the present ISP to ACCESS). I understand POP before SMTP will take away the need to keep changing the ACCESS IP.
I can send email to users on my server and have the email relayed to off-server accounts with other ISPs.
I can send email to users on my server and the email will be stored in their email file.
The step I am having trouble with is using Outlook to collect the mail from the server.
I get a message that Outlook is unable to connect to the POP3 server.
From an ONLAMP article I read it says that POP3 is what places the email in the various user accounts, so since that is happening I assume that there is a POP3 server running - or is that a mistake on my part. How can I check it?
Any ideas on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
