microsoft connection manager downloadDoes anyone know how to configure the Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 POP3 connection manager with GMAIL?

I'm trying to get SBS2003 to download my GMAIL and deliver it to my Exchange mailbox.
I found this solution to work:

--------------------------------------…
Unfortunately the POP3 Connector only supports SPA (Secure Password

Authentication) and changing the default port, it does not support POP3

over SSL. You might want to check with your ISP may include configuring

ETRN or TURN for SMTP mail flow on demand from your end. If you feel this

is necessary to Microsoft POP3 Connector, you can send feedback to our

product team at mswish@microsoft.com so that they can consider adding this

feature in the future release of POP3 Connector.

If your have to check your POP3 mailbox using SSL, you can try third party

POP3 Connectors such as "Native POP3 Connector" or POPBeamer.

See:

http://www.emailprofessor.com/popbeamer.htm

If you do not want to use third party POP3 Connector, we can try the

following work around (using third party add-in, however I CANNOT guarantee

it SHOULD work):

1: Go to http://www.stunnel.org/download/binaries.html, download the latest

binary of Stunnel. microsoft connection manager downloadThis program is what handles the SSL translation for

you. Download this to something like C:\stunnel.

2: Go to

http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/openssl-0.9.7c-bin.exe,

download and install - this gives you the ssl dlls that you need. You will

need to then copy C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\*.dll to

C:\windows\system32.

3: Next you need to create a file in C:\stunnel called stunnel.conf and in

this file you need the following settings:

client=YES

service=servicename1

[servicename1]

accept = 127.0.0.1:111

connect = pop3.mailserver.net:995

--end of config--

You can change the port at the end of 127.0.0.1 to whatever you want.

Change the pop3 part to whatever your pop3 server is and 995 to whatever

port - but 995 is the norm. You should acquire this information from your

ISP.

Save the config and start up stunnel. You should have a little icon in

your system tray.

Now configure POP3 Connector to point to 127.0.0.1:111 or whatever port you

specified and the SSL connection to check emails.
