Connecting to exchange server

Hello

I am trying to connect to my POP3 mail account on exchange server using a program written in PHP everytime i try to fsockopen and connect to mail box on port 110 i get connection time out error.

The username and pass of the account is correct.

Do i have to enable some connector on my exchange box to connect to third party applications ?

please help.

+1 A:

By default, the POP3 connector is disabled. So, it should be enabled by your IT.

And ask them if they should also enable it for the account, I am not sure of this second part.

POP3 connector has been enabled. The problem is exchange server is refusing to take connection from the application. There might be a need for some receive connector to be enabled and allow the server IP to relay. Any idea on how to go about this ?please help

There is no notion of relay for POP3 (only for SMTP).How is authentication configured in the POP3 connector ? Maybe it does not accept username/password in clear text.
