POPcon Features
Poll private POP3 and IMAP mailboxes and forward mail to a single MS Exchange Server™ mailbox or distribute mail collected in a single catch-all POP3 or IMAP mailbox to multiple MS Exchange Server&trade mailboxes according to user the mail was sent to. POPcon analyses the mail header fields (TO:, CC, received .. for, X-RESENT-TO, etc.) and filters mail recipients for matches to pre-configured "allowed" domains.
Can be installed on same machine as MS Exchange Server™ - uses only one internet connection and at least one POP3 mailbox to receive mail for the whole workgroup or company.
Minimum download schedule interval: 1 minute. NEW: Now also 0 minutes (contiuous downloads) implemented! There is no problem if downloads take longer than the scheduled interval. In these cases POPcon will continue with the next mail cycle at the next full minute after ending the current one.
Flexible scheduling for mail retrieval based on day of week. Have different retrieval times at night and on weekends or have POPcon check for mail every minute.
Automatically uses a configurable dial-up networking account to connect to and disconnect from the internet. Supports Routers and dedicated internet connections as well.
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.
Incoming emails with POPcon
Instead of receiving emails directly via SMTP (you'd need a fixed IP always-on Internet connection for that), POPcon will download your POP3 and IMAP email periodically and then forward it to your Exchange Server. See our free Exchange configuration guides for a step-by-step guide to configure your Exchange Server for sending and receiving (via POPcon) internet mail.
Mailflow of outgoing emails with POPcon
POPcon is only used for incoming emails. Outgoing mail traffic is handled directly by your Exchange Server.
