Leave messages on POP3 as backup

Question / Problem

I want to leave all messages on my POP3 account in order to use them as a backup. Is it possible?

Answer / Solution

We do not support this setup, because a POP3 is not designed to hold large amounts of mail messages and can get extremely slow. However, you can use the rules engine of SmartPOP2Exchange to send a copy of every incoming message to any email address you want; so you can create a "backup" Exchange account and store your messages there. For leaving mail messages on server the IMAP protocol should be used. IMAP is also supported by SmartPOP2Exchange.
