Enabling POP Access
POP is used for receiving mail. The POP Mail service stores incoming POP mail until users
have their computers connect to Mail service and download their waiting mail. After a
user’s computer downloads POP mail, the mail is stored only on the user’s computer.
An advantage of using POP is that your server doesn’t need to store mail that users
have downloaded.
POP isn’t the best choice for users who access mail from more than one computer,
such as a home computer, an oce computer, and a laptop while on the road because
after messages are accessed by one computer, they are deleted from the server.
To enable POP access:
1 In Server Admin, select a computer in the Servers list, then select Mail.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the General tab.
4 Click Enable POP.
5 Click Save.
6 Continue and congure security for POP authentication and transport.

Choosing No Incoming Mail Retrieval
You can choose to enable SMTP Mail service but not supply POP or IMAP service for
incoming mail retrieval. If neither POP nor IMAP is enabled, incoming mail from other
mail servers is still delivered to users but they can’t access their mail with their mail
client applications.
