Is this true about sharing calendars...

If a company is accessing a POP3 from their ISP/hosting company through
exchange (using the POP3 connector) and have user accounts setup, they can do
calendar sharing for that. If not (bypassing Exchange and just using outlook
only to access their POP3 email), they cannot do calendar sharing and must
buy a 3rd party piece of software to share.

I am guessing this is correct since the user accounts are created and
instead of using Outlook to access POP3 directly from the Internet, they are
going to their exchange to get their email (while exchange pulls in the POP3
emails).
 
If Outlook is set up with both the exchange account and a pop account and
the exchange account is the default message store, then it will also work if
outlook is collecting the mail. The important thing is that Exchange needs
to be the default message store, not a pst - who the mail gets into the
exchange mailbox doesn't really matter.
 
Thanks Diane - I suspected much. The only way to have exchange be the
default message store is to access your email from exchange directly (where
it's POP3 connector or SMTP). Thanks again.
 
I'm not sure I understand what you mean - you can have exchange and a pop3
account in your profile and should be accessing exchange using exchange
services, not pop3. Use cached mode in laptops so the message store is
available offline.

Accessing an Exchange server via POP protocols will not allow calendar
sharing.
