The solution I used my Gmail account to send and receive email from my local SharePoint server via hMailServer, it is a free e-mail server for Microsoft Windows. It’s used by Internet service providers, companies, governments, schools and enthusiasts in all parts of the world.
It supports the common e-mail protocols (IMAP, SMTP and POP3) and can easily be integrated with many existing web mail systems. It has flexible score-based spam protection and can attach to your virus scanner to scan all incoming and outgoing email.
The benefits are:
– There is all free and not required for licenses fee
– Fast and and easy to setup
– Gmail is available and have good performance and security
In this post, I just introduce SMTP to send mail and let you try on POP3 and IMAP ;)
