techieboy Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just trying to setup Exchange 2003 as part of an SBS2003 install. I've managed to get the various different domain names we use configured as part of the recipient policy, so when a user is added they get an email address for each of our domains. But, how do I setup the policy? to create the email addresses in a firstname.surname format? I thought it was done in the same place but maybe not on Exchange 2003.

It's been a few years since I've had to tinker with Exchange but I was sure that was where it was. Just couldn't see it for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it on a fair few clients with various causes. So, how do we isolate? Well the main way is to isolate whether it's machine or user specific. On the machine you're having the problem with set up another Outlook profile with a different mailbox. If you still get the error then it's specific to that m/c. Next step, if you can, swap the network cables with a working m/c. If you STILL get the error then it HAS to be something comms related on that m/c. If you don't, you know it's the hub/router/switch. Try the above and post up the results - should be able to work it out from there Bizarrely I've found this to be caused by certain Network cards having calculated MTUs (don't worry ) rather than hard-set ethernet ones Anyway, post up the results and we'll see.

Dave Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks mate. i don't know if it helps but i access my mail from two computers and i'm getting the same results from both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Likely to be a back end issue then. You get errors on both units right? Regardless of which mailbox you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Dave, sorry, quick but slightly obvious question - do you have an Exchange server or are these clients picking up their mail from t'internet? I.e. via POP3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 No, well yes. I get the same message from both mail clients on both machines... all other mailboxes ok, just this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 POP 3 mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 So one mailbox on both machines? I.e. Mailbox A works fine on box A, but then try mailbox B on box A and it fails? Are they different POP3 servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 err, not quite. I have the same mail set up at work as at home. Exactly the same 5 mail boxes via outlook on both machines. So i pick up my mail 50% at work and 50% at home. I get the same message about that pop3 mailbox at my home computer and my work computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Chances are it's the timeout on your POP3 server then Pretty easy to fix, will give you a call tomorrow mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Dave - if you get a chance to have a look.... Where you set up your POP3 server there should be a box for the timout setting. Add 30 seconds to it, or even double it..... Hopefully should sort your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
