Do I have to open any ports in my firewall to use IGetMail?
No. IGetMail is firewall friendly. Typically, IGetMail is installed on the Exchange Server, so when IGetMail connects to your remote email servers to download your mail it is making an outbound request which should go through your firewall without any modifications. We find that many users like the fact that when they use IGetMail, they can keep their Exchange Server hidden behind a firewall that denies all external access. This works because IGetMail connects outbound through your firewall and delivers the mail internally to Exchange. When Exchange Server sends the mail, this is also an outbound function that goes through the firewall that is confiured to deny all inbound traffic.
