In this article, we will be looking into how to configure POP3 in Exchange 2013.

The configuration steps are similar to Exchange 2010 unlike here we have two pop services running:

  • Microsoft Exchange POP3 backend service – Running on Mailbox server role

Similarly, we have

  • Microsoft Exchange IMAP service - Running on CAS server role
  • Microsoft Exchange IMAP backend service – Running on Mailbox server role

Below are the steps to configure POP3:

Open EAC. Click on Servers and choose the appropriate Client access server

Select POP3 in the options below

Now we have options to configure the POP3 settings

Here we got to choose the logon method which should be decided according to our requirement

Also, we have the message sort order which will let us download a copy of the emails from the server according to the type chosen

Now we need to enable the binding if we have chosen the SSL connection.

We have the session idle time out settings, connection limits which can be configured.

Also, we do have the maximum connection from a single user which will help us to keep any unauthorized access from any device
