A POP3 connector allows various companies to solve an actual problem of downloading mail from external POP3 servers and delivering it to Microsoft Exchange Server or any other SMTP server. Normally, Microsoft Exchange Server cannot download mail from external POP3 servers and, hence, a POP3 Connector adds such this functionality to it.

For daily jobs, a POP3 connector should be integrated with antiSPAM and antivirus filters in order to fully fulfill the email security needs of any business, whether small, medium or big.

However, many have come across multiple problems with POP3 connectors that, ultimately, transform a simple process of fetching emails into a nightmare.

Among these problems I should mention:

• The emails are waiting in queue 15 minutes, before they are fetched. So, the fetching is being processed at every 15 minutes. This is time consuming.

• The spam filters are not too reliable. Very few POP3 connectors are able to blacklist and filter-out insecure email

• There are roughly any distribution rules

• There are limits with the attachments (independent of the SMTP server limits), the attachments are not filters automatically and the headers are not checked.

• Catch-All problem: brings in SPAM together with email

All these problems are discussed and over-discussed on various forums and the solutions are limited. No matter the size of a company, the above mentioned problems, mean time consumption, security and vulnerabilities issues and long-lasting headaches.
