POP3

How to get here

Note: At the top of each Services page, the name of the Service, its Status (Running or Stopped), and a Start/Stop button appears. This allows you to Start or Stop individual Services from your respective web pages, as well as from the Service Administration page.

The POP3 Server lets any POP3 (Post Office Protocol , Version 3) mail client communicate with IMail Server . Supported POP3 clients include Internet Explorer, Netscape Messenger or Communicator, Eudora, Pegasus, NuPOP, Z-Mail, and UNIX mail.

POP3 clients use the "offline" method of accessing the mail server . Mail messages are delivered to the IMail Server system and the mail client periodically connects to the server and downloads the user's mail to the client system. Mail messages are automatically deleted from the server system. Therefore, mail messages are stored only temporarily on the mail server . This method of access is best suited to users who always read their mail from the same client system.

See Request for Comments (RFC ) 1725 for a description of the POP3 protocol.
