Hardware

• CPU & Memory: No special requirements
• Disk: 10 MB plus the amount needed to temporarily store downloaded emails before they are forwarded to Exchange
• Network: One network adapter is sufficient; POPcon also works with two or more cards

Internet Connection

Any internet connection via dial-up or routers, as long as POPcon can connect to POP3 and IMAP ports on your ISP mailbox servers.

Where to install

POPcon can run on the Exchange server itself, on another Windows Server or on a Windows 10/11 machine. What each placement needs — receive connector scope, port 25 path, antivirus exclusions — is in the guide Where to install a POP3/IMAP connector.
