CFPOPping into an Exchange Mailbox usually requires a special format for the username - did you know that already? Infact this applies to accessing an exchange mailbox in general via POP3. It was a MS tech article that solved the problem for me.
The Username takes the form <domain>\<NTUseraccount>\<ExchangeMailboxAlias> The ExchangeMailboxAlias can be determined from the Exchange console. It's on the right hand side in the General tab when you view a user's properties. If you want to check if Exchange 5.5 is accepting POP requests telnet into port 110 on the exchange server and you should see a ready prompt, although individual users can be denied access via a certain protocol. You have to check the PROTOCOLS tab on the individual mailbox to check if POP is enabled for them.

It works fine for most users but on one account I get this (useless) error massage: unknown exception condition unknown error while executing a tag. The account is valid and the user is getting mail fine using his Outlook client, but I cannot get past this error when trying to get his mail using CFPOP. Here's the tag that throws the error: <CFPOP ACTION="GETHEADERONLY" NAME="Temp" SERVER="mail.foo.com" TIMEOUT="30" USERNAME="HisUserID" PASSWORD="HisPassword"> This is just a plain vanilla request for mail headers and it works for all other mail accounts. I'm no Exchange admin so I don't know if there is some option somewhere that locks out POP requests or something. Any ideas? Chris Lofback Sr. Web Developer TRX Integration 28051 US 19 N., Ste.
