POPcon 3.50

POPcon 3.50 is an excellent tool for your email. It actually connects MS Exchange Server(tm) to POP3 and IMAP mailboxes. It acts as an e-mail collector that retrieves messages from POP3 mailboxes and delivers them to your Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes according to the intended user found in the mails.

The mail sender transmits emails via the SMTP-protocol directly (or over an additional smtp relay server) to your POP3 mailbox at your provider. POPcon periodically connects to your POP3 and IMAP mailboxes, downloads the email using the POP3 or IMAP protocol and stores the messages in temporary files. After downloading emails from all your mailboxes, POPcon connects to your Exchange Server and sends the previously downloaded emails via the SMTP protocol directly to your Exchange users. 

Major Features:

1. 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™ 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.
2. 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.
3. Minimum download schedule interval: 1 minute
4. 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.
5. Automatically uses a configurable dial-up networking account to connect to and disconnect from the internet. Supports Routers and dedicated internet connections as well.
6. 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.
7. POPcon is installed as a service, POPcon is started at system startup time without the need for a user to log in.
8. POPcon is also available in a Pro version with additional functions.
