With Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003, I'm trying to set up a mail user.

I've tried to create them with the New User procedure avaliable when right clicking the "My server"/Users and "My server"/MyBusiness/Users/SBSUsers folders but then I can't read its mail.

I telnet my server to check the accounts at the pop3 port and when I pass it the user and the pass, I just get "-ERR Unspecified error."

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

I can access without problems the users created by my predecessor, and I've compared my user to match his.

Is that Small Business Server 2003? SBS management can be quite different from standard Windows/Exchange (where that wizard you're talking of doesn't even exist), so please clarify. – Massimo Dec 30 '10 at 18:05
Better that way? It's just the option of creating a new user when right clicking. It's Exchange 2003, or at least, it says so at the About window (version 5.2). – Saiyine Dec 30 '10 at 18:22
I think all that Massimo was asking was is this Windows Server 2003 SBS edition? That has some quirks to it, which may require a different answer. – Ben Pilbrow Dec 30 '10 at 18:29
Yes if SBS use the SBS utilities to add/remove users. – IrqJD Dec 30 '10 at 19:19
the whole "My server" thing doesn't exist on standard Windows/Exchange systems. SBS is quite a different beast. – Massimo Dec 30 '10 at 19:40
