MS Exchange and POP3 access

Apparently where I work pop3 access is blocked/closed. port 110 on the mailserver is closed I am also guessing that they are also blocking all pop3 access. I am guessing so because I create a free account at hotpop, just to be able to continue testing and figuring out otrs, but I can't even access this mail box. Any ideas? Will otrs provide tigher integration with MS exchange in future releases something that maybe will bypass the issue I am having above or will email retrieval always be pop3? Sincerely Ali

AFAIK Exchange supports POP3, but it needs to be explicitly enabled. Nils Breunese.

Yes you are right,the problem is I don't think they would agree (where I
work) to open up POP3 access on the server.
I really don't know much about mail protocols, but Since they seem to even
block it to other external mail servers, I am guessing they think its a
security risk maybe.
Too much formality also!
