- .UC 5
- .SH NAME
- IPOPd - Post Office Protocol server
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B /usr/etc/ipop2d
- .PP
- .B /usr/etc/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 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
- .I POPd
- is 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 "SEE ALSO"
- imapd(8C)
- .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.
