How to get e-mail messages from Mail Scanner?

Hello Jim,

But I think it it is the archive, I used the Store command. There
are not any pop accounts for this domain on this server, we are just
passing them through here to be scanned.

So how do I get hundreds of messages in the archive or the quarantine
sent out to an address? Or, saved in a format I can copy to the
workstation and import?

Jim> If so, just have the customer POP into your server and pull the mail.

Jim> If I recall, OutLook does still support POP accounts.
