POP Client

Overview

The POP Client allows you to poll a POP mail server and read email messages from it. Once the messages have been read, they can be passed into the core message pipeline where the full collection of message processing filters can act on them.

Configuration

The POP Client configuration is available by right-clicking on the Process node in the tree view of the Policy Studio and selecting the POP Client -> Add menu option. The following fields should then be configured on the POP Mail Server dialog:

Server Name:
Enter the hostname or IP address of the POP mail server.

Port:
Enter the port on which the POP server is listening. By default, POP servers listen on port 110.

User Name:
Enter the user name of a configured mail user for this POP server.

Password:
Enter the password for this user.

Poll Rate:
The Process will poll the mail server at the rate (in milliseconds) specified here.

Delete Message from Server:
Select this option if you want the POP server to delete email messages after they have been read by the Process.

Policy to Use:
Select the policy that you want to use to process messages that have been read from the POP server.
