Exchange 2013: Disable POP3 and IMAP
As a part of setting up my Exchange 2013 server, I do not want POP3 and IMAP enabled, as I’m not going to use it. In fact, I want to make sure it is disabled. It is preconfigured to start manually.
To disable POP3 and IMAP we really have to disable the services from running, so nothing to be done in Exchange Management Console (EMC)
Disable POP3
Run services.msc and locate
1)In the Services snap-in, in the console tree, click Services (Local).
2)In the result pane, right-click Microsoft Exchange POP3, and then click Properties.
3)On the General tab, under Startup type, select Disabled, and then click Apply.
4)In the result pane, right-click Microsoft Exchange POP3 Backend, and then click Properties.
5)On the General tab, under Startup type, select Disabled, and then click Apply.
In Powershell
