Hi,<br />
I plan to migrate client to exchange 2016 and client wants me to disable POP3,IMAP on a new mail server.<br />
That is not a problem but what about applications.Some applications require POP3 protocol as incoming and not MAPI.<br />
For example jira<br />
<a href="https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-mail-server-with-Exchange/qaq-p/90235" rel="ugc">https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-mail-server-with-Exchange/qaq-p/90235</a><br />
<br />
&quot;Yes, enable standard POP or IMAP on the Exchange server. (Ideally IMAPS for security) MAPI is not supported because it's proprietary and expensive.It is possible to build an add-on, but you'll need to pay Microsoft for the rights to use the protocol in your code. That's why Atlassian hasn't done it, it costs too much.&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there any workaround for this &nbsp;problem?
