<h1 class="topictitle1">Post Office Protocol on iSeries server</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The Post Office Protocol (POP) server is the iSeries™ implementation
|
||
|
|
of the Post Office Protocol Version 3 mail interface.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It provides electronic mailboxes on the iSeries server from which clients can
|
||
|
|
retrieve mail. Any mail client that supports the POP3 protocol can use this
|
||
|
|
server, such as Netscape Mail, Outlook Express, or Eudora. Clients might be
|
||
|
|
running on any platform, such as Windows<sup>®</sup>, OS/2<sup>®</sup>, AIX<sup>®</sup>, or Macintosh.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The POP server serves as a temporary holding area for mail until it is
|
||
|
|
retrieved by the mail client. When the mail client connects to the server,
|
||
|
|
it queries the contents of its mailbox to see if there is any mail to retrieve.
|
||
|
|
If there is, it retrieves the mail one message at a time. After a message
|
||
|
|
has been retrieved, the client instructs the server to mark that message for
|
||
|
|
deletion when the client session is complete. The client retrieves all of
|
||
|
|
the messages in the mailbox and then issues a command that tells the server
|
||
|
|
to delete all of the messages that are marked for deletion and to disconnect
|
||
|
|
from the client.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>POP mail clients use <var class="varname">verbs</var> to communicate with the POP
|
||
|
|
server. Verbs supported by the iSeries POP server are described in POP
|
||
|
|
protocol.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about the POP protocol works, use the RFC Index to
|
||
|
|
look up RFC 1725, which defines the POP Version 3 mail interface standard.</p>
