Connecting to exchange server

I am trying to connect to my POP3 mail account on exchange server using a program written in PHP everytime i try to fsockopen and connect to mail box on port 110 i get connection time out error.

The username and pass of the account is correct.

Do i have to enable some connector on my exchange box to connect to third party appl开发者_开发知识库ications ?

please help.

By default, the POP3 connector is disabled. So, it should be enabled by your IT.

And ask them if they should also enable it for the account, I am not sure of this second part.
