title: Receive email from an Exchange server in Biztalk (no POP3)
body: <p>I expected Biztalk to have a default Exchange adapter but it doesn't.</p>
  
  <p>Then I expected to find a buyable adapter, <a href="http://msinnovations.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/the-changing-biztalk-landscape/#comment-1012" rel="nofollow noreferrer">there was one but it disappeard...</a>
  I googled and end up finding this

  <p>POP3 or EWS are not an option for me. What could I do?</p>
  
  <p>I read a comment sugesting a SMTP redirection, but I would need to install a mail client on the Biztalk Server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>     A while ago we ended up installing the SMTP adapter on the BizTalk Server and having 
  the exchange server forward the emails to the biztalk server via SMTP, 
      then BizTalk picked up the msg files from the SMTP folders and then we used the mime 
  decoder component in a pipeline (plus this trick here 
  http://connectedthoughts.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/receiving-mime-encoded-email-files-and-a-hidden-pop3-context-property/) 
  to read the emails.
