Changing the POP Response Name
You can change the DNS name that your POP mail service sends back to a user’s mail client
software when the client initiates a POP connection.
To change the POP response name:
1 In Server Settings, click the Internet tab.
2 Click Mail Service and choose Configure Mail Service.
3 Click the Protocols tab and select Enable POP3, if it is not already checked.
4 Click POP3 Options.
5 Enter the DNS name you want your mail service to use when responding to POP
connections, then click Save.
Changing the POP Port Number
The standard port number for POP mail service is 110. You can specify a different port, but
do so carefully. If you change your mail service’s POP port number, you must also change
the POP port used by all users’ mail client software. Make sure you don’t use a port that is
used by another service.
To change the POP port number:
1 In Server Settings, click the Internet tab.
2 Click Mail Service and choose Configure Mail Service.
3 Click the Protocols tab and select Enable POP3, if it is not already checked.
4 Change the port number for the POP3 protocol and click Save.
Working With Settings for Incoming IMAP Mail
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows users to access their mail from anywhere on
the Internet. Each IMAP user’s mail remains in mailboxes on the server, just as if it were on
the user’s computer. IMAP delivers mail to the user’s inbox, as does POP, but when the user
retrieves mail, it is not removed from the server.
