Introduction

POP3

What is POP3?

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol 3 and is the primary method of retrieving mail from the Internet on to your computer’s mail client.

Analogy

POP3 is similar to how you would obtain your real life/snail mail. When someone sends you a mail, it is sent to their closest post sorting office (their mail server). The sorting office then looks at the mail and sends it to the address that is specified. The mail is directed to your local post office (your mail server). The mail can now be picked up from your letter box (mail client).

POP3 Features

Within POP3, you can set up the following:

POP3 Server

This is where you can set up XGate to deliver incoming mail to your mail client.

Additional Domain

This allows you to set up additional domains for your POP3 mail server

Address Filter

This allows you to block mail from specific e-mail addresses or domains.
