To enable either protocol, first the services must be set to Automatic, as shown in Figure 6 - 3 . Next, the

service must be started. Figure 6 - 3 is an example of enabling and starting the IMAP4 service. To enable

POP3, replace the references from IMAP4 to POP3.

Figure 6-3

The following example checks the status of the IMAP4 service, or all the services that start with

msexchange:

Get-Service msexchangeimap4

Get-Service msexchange*

There are a number of options for both protocols that can be fine - tuned. Most of the settings are to

change connection and authentication options. Exchange Server 2007 implements higher security out of

the box and it is generally unnecessary to change any configuration. However, to change POP3 and

IMAP4 settings, use the cmdlets

Set-PopSettings and Set-ImapSettings as shown here:

Set-PopSettings [-AuthenticatedConnectionTimeout < EnhancedTimeSpan > ]

[-Banner < String > ] [-CalendarItemRetrievalOption < iCalendar | intranetUrl

| InternetUrl | Custom > ] [-DomainController < Fqdn > ] [-Instance

< Pop3AdConfiguration > ] [-LoginType < PlainTextLogin |

PlainTextAuthentication | SecureLogin > ] [-MaxCommandSize < Int32 > ]

[-MaxConnectionFromSingleIP < Int32 > ] [-MaxConnections < Int32 > ]

[-MaxConnectionsPerUser < Int32 > ] [-MessageRetrievalMimeFormat < TextOnly |
