POP Server

Overview

The pop server allows email client applications to retrieve mail from the emailAI Pro engine. The emailAI Pro engine retrieves mail from the Internet, processes it, then either delivers it via Advanced Delivery or sets it to Awaiting Pickup where the POP Server will accept requests to retrieve the mail.

Email Client applications must set their incoming POP Server to 127.0.0.1 or the IP address of the computer running the emailAI Pro engine. Refer to the Setup Guides for more information on configuring email client applications.

Advanced Delivery methods and the POP Server can be used in conjunction with each other.

The POP Server understands two types of login.

The username and password combination as setup in a processing POP account.

When the POP Server validates an Email Client request to retrieve mail by a username / password combination that matches one of the POP accounts, the emailAI Pro engine will deliver all mail "Awaiting Pickup" on that account.

Alternatively or in conjunction the email address and password combination of any "Local Account" Setup.

When the POP Server validates an Email Client request to retrieve mail by an email address / password combination that matches a "Local Account" setup, the emailAI Pro engine will deliver all mail "Awaiting Pickup" on that account.

General

Enable POP Server

When enabled the emailAI Pro engine will start the POP Server when it starts.

POP Server Port

By default this is Port 110. The port must match the port that is configured in the Email Client application that will be retrieving mail.

Listen On Address

By default this is set to (Any) or 127.0.0.1, which means the POP Server will be binded to the IP addresses available on the local machine.
