No conversion is done on incoming mail from SMTP if it is delivered to a POP
mailbox.
The path to SNADS does ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion and DIA/FFT formatting.
Simple SMTP is converted using the SMTP configuration information (CHGSMTPA).
MIME mail is converted using the POP configuration information (CHGPOPA).
All TCP/IP mail sent to OfficeVision/400, both MIME and non-MIME, must be
converted from ASCII to EBCDIC. For this conversion to work in any country both
SMTP and the POP server must be configured.
What are CCSIDs
ISO standards and Internet RFCs define a list of graphic symbols or characters
used to represent the written language of one or more countries. This list is called a
character set and is identified by a number (the Coded Character Set Identifier, or
CCSID). OS/400 supports a large number of character sets.
Character sets, when given binary values for each character, are called code
pages. Each language supported by OS/400 has a character set and code page.
