Route queued emails from Exchange 2007 to 2013

We use exchange pop3 software to download emails from externally hosted email server and to forward exchange 2007 server.

We stopped this software and we are migrating our exchange server from 2007 to 2013.

We moved all users from exchange 2007 to 2013.

But when we restart the 2007 server, by mistake exchange pop3 server started automatically to download emails and forwarded them to the exchange 2007 server. And those email are not reached to 2013 server and get stuck in the queue of 2007.

How can we release them to the users.

If authentication is proper it will deliver the email to the right server.
Make sure server can reach each other using port 25. No need additional settings.

For 2007 server?

Vidit Bhardwaj

You can try to export the emails from 2K7:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998625(v=exchg.80).aspx

And put them in the pickup directory folder of 2013 it will be submitted to the queue.

If I remember correctly you already have mail flow issues between 2K7 and 2013 right, one of them is not able to communicate to 2K13 on port 25 is that fixed?
