The POP3 service
POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) is an Internet mail protocol that allows a user running a POP3 client -- for example, the Notes® POP3 client, Eudora Pro, or Microsoft™ Outlook Express® -- to retrieve mail from a server that runs the POP3 service. You can set up a Domino® server to run the POP3 service. The Domino server receives and stores mail for POP3 users, who can then connect to the server to retrieve their mail.
Setting up POP3 users
Perform these tasks to set up POP3 users.
Configuring POP3 client software
After you set up a IBM® Domino® server to run the POP3 service, users can access their mail files on the Domino server from any POP3 mail client. The POP3 service supports all POP3-compliant clients -- for example, the IBM Notes® POP3 client, Microsoft™ Outlook and Outlook Express®, and Qualcomm Eudora.

- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
    - The Domino® mail router
      The Domino® mail router (the Router) is a special server task responsible for the delivery and transfer of the messages in MAIL.BOX. Delivery refers to moving messages from MAIL.BOX into a local mail file or database; while transfer refers to sending messages from MAIL.BOX across the network to another server.
    - The POP3 service
      POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) is an Internet mail protocol that allows a user running a POP3 client -- for example, the Notes® POP3 client, Eudora Pro, or Microsoft™ Outlook Express® -- to retrieve mail from a server that runs the POP3 service. You can set up a Domino® server to run the POP3 service. The Domino server receives and stores mail for POP3 users, who can then connect to the server to retrieve their mail.
      - Setting up the POP3 service
        The Domino® POP3 service can run on any Domino server on which a TCP/IP port is configured. The POP3 protocol provides a mechanism for retrieving mail only; POP3 clients send mail using the SMTP protocol.
      - Setting up POP3 users
        Perform these tasks to set up POP3 users.
        Setting up the Person document for a POP3 user
        To access mail files on the Domino® server, a POP3 user must have a Person document in the Domino Directory. For users who already have a Person document, edit settings in the existing document as necessary to provide POP3 support. If a user does not have an existing Person document, you must create a new one. You can create a Person document manually, or use the Domino registration process to create the Person document automatically. If you use the Domino registration process, select POP3 in the Mail system field of the Register Person dialog box.
        Creating a mail file for a POP3 user
        Each POP3 user must have a mail file on the IBM® Domino® server. You can create the mail file automatically during user registration, or you can manually create a mail file. If the user is already a registered IBM Notes® user who has an existing Notes mail file and if you set up the Person document to use POP3 as the mail system, the user can use a POP3 client to access the mail file.
        Configuring POP3 client software
        After you set up a IBM® Domino® server to run the POP3 service, users can access their mail files on the Domino server from any POP3 mail client. The POP3 service supports all POP3-compliant clients -- for example, the IBM Notes® POP3 client, Microsoft™ Outlook and Outlook Express®, and Qualcomm Eudora.
    - The IMAP service
      The Domino® server supports the Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP4rev1), defined in RFC 2060, for reading mail. The Domino IMAP service lets users with IMAP mail clients access mail files on a Domino server. The IMAP service differs from the POP3 service in that users are not required to download messages to a local computer to read and manipulate them. Users can work with messages over the network, while the messages remain on the server.
    - Customizing mail
      After you set up basic mail routing, you can customize the IBM® Domino® messaging system to improve performance and meet the specific needs of your organization.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
    Setting up a cluster includes the tasks of creating and verifying that it is working correctly, and then setting up user access, mail, replications, size quotas, directory assistance, roaming, web navigation, and use of a private LAN in the cluster.

Configuring POP3 client software

After you set up a IBM® Domino® server to run the POP3 service, users can access their mail files on the Domino® server from any POP3 mail client. The POP3 service supports all POP3-compliant clients -- for example, the IBM® Notes® POP3 client, Microsoft™ Outlook and Outlook Express®, and Qualcomm Eudora.

The requirements for configuring POP3 client software differ for each product.

Table 1. General requirements for POP3 clients
Field	Description
Incoming mail (POP3) server	Fully qualified host name of Domino® POP3 server.
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server	The fully qualified host name of a server running SMTP to which the user can send mail addressed to intranet or Internet recipients. The SMTP server may be the Domino® server running the POP3 service, a different Domino® server, or a non-Domino SMTP server.
Authentication required to send outbound mail	Specifies whether the configured SMTP server requires users to provide a name and password before they can send outgoing messages.
Account/Login name	The name by which the user authenticates with the Domino® server. Valid user name values depend on the setting in the Internet authentication field of the Server document: If the server is set to use More name variations with lower security, users can enter a login name that matches any entry in the First name, Last name, User name or Short name/UserID field of the Person document, as long as it is unique within the Domino® Directory, for example, SDaryn. If the server uses Fewer name variations with higher security, a user's login name must match an entry in the User name field of the Person document, for example, Samantha Daryn/RENOVATIONS
Password	The Internet password from the user's Person document.
Automatically delete mail documents from the POP3 server after the client copies them locally.	By default, when downloading messages from the server, most POP3 clients delete the server copy to conserve disk space. For users who read mail from both the Notes® client and a POP3 client, make sure the POP3 client is set to leave messages on the server.
POP3 client should check for mail no more than every five (5) minutes.	Determines how often the POP3 client checks for mail. If the client checks for mail more frequently, it may affect server performance.
E-mail address	The Internet address specified in the user's Person document.
