We were told to disable POP3

[Jack The Riffer]

This morning we were told to disable POP3 and have our users switch to RPC over HTTP. Unfortunately, the POP3 was disabled before any users could be notified of the new configuration. It's been one long ass day. Of course the bosses that ordered this are not here in the States but over in Israel so I've had users at my door, IM, on the phone and emailing from personal email addresses all day.

I feel your pain. I use to do tech support. People can be mean. It makes for not one crazy day, but many if it doesn't get finished completely with all the bugs worked out.

Maybe they use Exchange and someone wanted to shut down a port on a firewall somewhere. I thought Outlook 2003 can connect using HTTP and have full functionality.

That's what happens when executives make technical decisions. Shit gets broken.

Exchange can be setup using pop3, however it kind of defeats the purpose keeping all the mail on one server that is always backed up. We setup our outlook clients via the exchange config and still retaining all the mail on the exchange server. I have seen a lot of companies us the web based version, although it is not a luxurious it works. We haven’t upgraded to 2003 yet but I have heard good things.
