This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to configure your connectivity options for connecting to servers running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 by using POP3. By using the settings for this cmdlet, you can specify the ports to use to connect computers running Exchange Server 2010 that have the Client Access server role installed to Exchange 2007 servers. By default, this value should be set to use port 110. This cmdlet also lets you disable access to Exchange 2007 servers.
Note
After you have configured POP3 access to Exchange 2007, you must restart the POP3 service. For more information about how to restart the POP3 service, see Start and Stop the POP3 Service.

Prerequisites
You can configure exExchange2010 Client Access servers to connect to mailboxes located on exExchange2k7 servers. However, when you do this, you must disable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and enable Basic authentication on the exExchange2k7 server. Because the user name and password are sent in clear text when Basic authentication is used without encryption, we recommended that you secure the traffic between the Client Access server and the exExchange2k7 server by using Internet Protocol security (IPsec).
