.SH NAME
|
|
IPOPd \- Post Office Protocol server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /usr/sbin/ipop2d
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B /usr/sbin/ipop3d
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I ipop2d
|
|
and
|
|
.I ipop3d
|
|
are servers which support the
|
|
.B POP2
|
|
and
|
|
.B POP3
|
|
remote mail access protocols respectively.
|
|
.I ipop2d
|
|
and
|
|
.I ipop3d
|
|
can also be used by
|
|
.B POP2
|
|
and
|
|
.B POP3
|
|
clients respecitively to access mailboxes on
|
|
.B IMAP
|
|
servers by specifying a login user name in the form <host>:<user>
|
|
e.g.,
|
|
.B SERVER.WASHINGTON.EDU:SMITH.
|
|
.PP
|
|
These daemons contain CRAM-MD5 and APOP support. See the md5.txt
|
|
documentation file for additional information.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I ipop2d
|
|
and
|
|
.I ipop3d
|
|
are invoked by the internet server (see
|
|
.IR inetd (8)),
|
|
normally for requests to connect to the
|
|
.B POP
|
|
port as indicated by the
|
|
.I /etc/services
|
|
file (see
|
|
.IR services (5)).

|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.B POP2
|
|
and
|
|
.B POP3
|
|
protocols are intrinsically less flexible than
|
|
.B IMAP
|
|
and do not maintain `read' vs `unread' state on the server. As a result,
|
|
most
|
|
.B POP
|
|
based software transfers all the mail from the server to the client and
|
|
deletes it from the server. This necessarily locks the user into using only
|
|
a single client.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B POP3
|
|
does not allow you to specify an alternate folder from the user's default.
