Monitor POPcon's actions from any system in your network using the "POPcon Administrator" utility included with the software. Trigger mail retrieval at odd times or configure additional POP3 mailboxes to poll - all from your workstation.
POPcon is installed as a service, POPcon is started at system startup time without the need for a user to log in.
POPcon is also available in a PRO version with additional functions.

Mailflow of incomming emails with POPcon

The mail sender transmits emails via the SMTP-protocol directly (or over an additional smtp relay server) to your POP3 mailbox at your provider. POPcon periodically connects to your POP3 and IMAP mailboxes, downloads the email using the POP3 or IMAP protocol and stores the messages in temporary files. After downloading emails from all your mailboxes, POPcon connects to your Exchange Server and sends the previously downloaded emails via the SMTP protocol directly to your Exchange users.

Mailflow of outgoing emails with POPcon

POPcon is only used for incomming emails. Outgoing mail traffic is handled directly by your Exchange Server.
