enamel - the mailserver for the BeO S
Contents [ MCP ] [ nntp ] [ smtp ] [ smtpd ] [ pop3 ] [ pop3d ] [ hermes ] [ Up ] | pop3 pop3 is a pop3 client. It's job is to fetch mail from a pop3 mailbox. Currently there is no support for not deleting the mails from the server, but this may come with the next release. pop3 supports fetching mail from multiple mailboxes. To configure pop3, you have to edit the file /boot/home/config/settings/pop3_settings with an editor like StyledEdit or vi. Please have a look at the example config file to find out more about that file. The following is a description of the available config keywords: Logfile <Name> The file pop3 writes some logging output to. (e.g.: LogFile /boot/home/log/pop3.log) Mailbox <Name> Password <Password> Address <Host> [Port <Port>] Recipient <RecipientAddress> [Source <SourceName>] [DomanName <DomainName>] [CheckIntervall <Intervall>] This line tells pop3 to access the mailbox "Name" using the password "Password" on the host "Host". For the special case that the pop3 server is not using the normal port (110), you can change it with the "Port" statement. A speciality is the "Recipients" statement. This is necessary because MCP routes the messages by their recipients. Normally you should enter your own email address here. But you could also enter anything else and route mails you fetched via pop3 to anyone else. SourceName is a string that will be added to every mail as attribute, so you can route the messages with MCP by it's source. This may not be very important for pop3, so most probably you won't need it. With "DomainName", you can override the locally set domainname. This is important if the local domain name is either wrong or not set. Last but not least, "CheckIntervall" specifies how often to check for new mail. (e.g.: Mailbox JohnDoe Password Secret Address "anywhere.net" Recipient johndoe@john.anywhere.net Port 110 CheckIntervall 60)
