Even worst I just found out that 1. requesting a pop3 email box will be refused
Do you mean Exchange will refuse it or is it the system administrators?
2. smtp access is closed/blocked
It seems they are using Exchange's privative protocols to manage e-mail (MAPI). Still it is possible that SMTP is available only to authenticated clients.
IMAP is said to be working thought!
You should be able to use it to fetch mail.
I dont understand how IMAP can be working if SMTP is closed
They both are not necesarily related (i.e.: different servers for SMTP and POP/IMAP).
And I was told something very weird in the lines of that some ppl use pop3 to send emails, does this even make sense!
As weird as it seems, there are servers that will accept mail to be delivered through POP/IMAP by means of the "outgoing mail folder": everything thrown to the "outgoing mail" will be processed, passed to the MTA daemon and delivered. It's just not usual but feasible. -- Jesús M.
