Exhange server

Apocgraphy cannot intercept non-POP Exchange Server email.

Microsoft Exchange Server supports several protocols.
Protocols are "languages" that are used to communicate between your email reading program and your email server.
One of the languages that Exchange Server speaks is "Microsoft Exchange Transport" Apocgraphy cannot currently process mail using this protocol.


How can I tell?

If you look at your "Services" you Exchange Server shows up as simply "Exchange Server".

POP accounts appear as "Internet email - Account Name".

You can find your services by either:

  • Right clicking on your Outlook icon and selecting "Properties".
  • From your control Panel choose "Mail".
  • From within Outlook choose the menu item Tools->Services.


The Solution

Because Exchange Server speaks both POP/SMTP and Microsoft Exchange Transport you can change your account on an Exchange Server to the POP protocol and use a local message store.
A side effect of this is that you must store your message in a file on your computer.
Another side effect is that you cannot access shared folders that reside on the Exchange Server.
