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.
Before you begin
Make sure that you have set up a Person document for the POP3
user.
