Comments on: Microsoft Exchange and Peek – It can be done! http://blog.getpeek.com/2008/11/microsoft-exchange-and-peek-it-can-be-done/ Peek is simply connected. This blog is simply Peek.

Imap is a much much better option honestly because it will "sync" your message so that when you read them on your device they are tagged on the server as read and you dont have to manage your email from multiple places. I am assuming that peek supports the full imap implementation so this should work fine and allow you to be more effective. Get your IT department to enable IMAP and if they dont understand IMAP get a new IT department. Another Note: Syncing directly with exchange is a bit much for peek. Peek needs to work on syncing with OWA (outlook web access) not directly to exchange. There is a gpl application called "evolution" which is an email client for linux that syncs to exchange via OWA.

Turns out that most providers use POP3 and E-mail administrators understand it. Maybe POP3 isn't the best protocol but it seems to be widely used and understood.

If I am understanding it right, your backend queries the servers for the mail and the peak unit queries your servers to get the mail you have retrieved. If you had IMAP you would support most every exchange installation out there as well as nearly every other mail server product. POP3 is a terrible protocol, it was dated two years after it became RFCd, ten years ago :P I have to ask, why didn’t you guys just build in imap support in your backend?

Then I set my Peek up to retrieve mail from this second e-mail address. Works like a charm!
