Email to internal and external without forwarding

[msworld]

The client wants to do this: employees connect to their external accounts, for example gmail POP3 to check emails sent from the internal Exchange server and store all internal emails in their mailboxes on the Exchange server running windows 2003 SBS. For example, when other LAN users send me an email to blin@gmail.com, it stays on both my internal email address blin@chicagotech.net and blin@gmail.com.

I did these:

1. I created gmail.com SMTP in the Default Recipient Policy and cleared the box of This Exchange Organization is responsible for all mail delivery to this address.
2. Created another Recipient Policy named gmail and set it as primary.
3. Applied and updated.
4. In the User menu, go to "Email Addresses" Tab and highlight the external domain and Set it as Primary and also uncheck the box for "Automatically update Email addresses based on recipient policy".
5. Restart IIS and Exchange services.

When sending an email to blin@gmail.com, I can receive the mail internally. However, the email is never sent to the gmail.

Any suggestions?

Why not just configure their Outlook with the Exchange account and then add the POP account (set not to delete messages from the pop account.)

Then, downloaded POP messages will be downloaded into your Inbox of your Exchange Mailbox by default.

What's wrong with this behaviour?

I have create the exchange account in Outlook and then created a pop3 account as well in Outlook. Our users are receiving email to their regular work emails and to the pop3 account. Works great.
