Re: problem with pop3 and imap
IMAP(S) and POP3(S) - of wich you should only ever use their SSL-variants IMAPS(993) and POPS(995) are client ports and thus need to be forwared to your Exchange Server, not your eFa.

What budy says.
Only map your smtp traffic ports to EFA. Map the imap/pop ports to your exchange server - and you shouldn't use pop if you can avoid it.

Re: problem with pop3 and imap
budy, he was answering my question.
The problem with pop is that it is an old protocol designed for when mailboxes were small and only consisted of an inbox.
If the outlook clients are going to access the exchange server, and they are not going to use the Outlook Web Access connector, then imap is the best choice.

I always thought, that pure pop servers have died looong ago.
