This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to configure Exchange to use ports other than the default ports for POP3 authentication.

Note

After you have configured ports for POP3, you must restart the POP3 service. For more information about how to restart the POP3 service, see How to Start and Stop the POP3 Service.

Before You Begin

To perform the following procedures on a computer that has the POP3 service enabled, the account you use must be delegated the Exchange Server Administrators role and membership in the local Administrators group for the target server.

For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.

Procedure

    Set-PopSettings -UnencryptedOrTLSBindings IPaddress:Port
