GMail via POP3 using Exchange

Have a mate ruuning SBS 2003 that needed had issues with current mail provider and doesnt have a static address. Google Apps / Gmail for domains to the rescue.

Only catch? POP3 only runs via SSL which native connector does not support. Found a post located at http://doesitecho.com/archives/2007/02/gmail_via_pop3_on_exchange.php

Here is the basic steps I used:

1. Download the latest binary of Stunnel and install it. This program handles the SSL translation for you.

2. Download and install OpenSSL. After Install, you will then need to copy C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\*.dll to C:\Windows\system32.

3: Next you need to edit stunnel.conf in C:\Program Files\stunnel and in this file you need to makle sure the following settings are present, I commented out the other services to remove confusion but left the rest of the original config present.

client=yes
service=gmail
[gmail]
accept = 127.0.0.1:8110
connect = pop.gmail.com:995

4. Install and start the Stunnel Service (found in Start menu).

5. Now configure the POP3 Connector to point to 127.0.0.1:8110 or whatever port you specified, using your Gmail username and password, and hopefully it will now be able to download emails from your Gmail account.
