Title: Message
on the client side you can have all the folders you want. when you connect to the server from the client you see nothing but the root inbox folder. that is it with pop3.
 
MR. Lefkovics, as always is right. but don't tell him it will go to his head.

I've always thought that to be a limitation of the protocol.  Perhaps I am mistaken.
 
I've long switched to IMAP.

William -
 
Was rereading your response and just noticed the second line
POP doesn't support subfolders below the inbox, either.
 
Is that just in Exchange POP? 
 
I have always had multiple subfolders below my inbox on the old POP server we are moving off of.
 
Thanks.

If these clients are in the office sometimes and away other times, there is a client setting to leave a copy of email on the server.
 
POP doesn't support subfolders below the inbox, either.
 
Not that these things matter since we'll all be switching to WindowsRG:

Thanks William -
 
I was looking in the archives for your responses to POP.  I was thinking it missed some point of antivirus scanning but cannot image that anti-gen would leave such a big hole.
 
If I can allow pop then my life just got a bit easier.
 
Appreciate the help.

No question is so difficult as that to which the answer is obvious.

It's not *bad* practice.
 
It's one of the client options.
 
You must properly secure your server against relay should you allow SMTP from the same POP clients.
 
Personally, I favour IMAP as the remote client protocol.

I remember reading on here many months ago that it is a bad practice to allow users to pop into your exchange server.

I cannot remember why and I am running that battle now.

I searched the archives but do not see anything.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Jim
