POP

POP allows you to retrieve messages from other e-mail accounts you have using POP3 protocol. This window will also allow you to set up your local email application to download messages from your Safe-mail account.

POP stands for Post Office Protocol, which is a protocol designed to allow computers to retrieve electronic mail from POP servers.

Incoming Mail Servers

If you have other email accounts on other servers that allow external POP3 access, you can have Safe-mail download your email into your Safe-mail account. All that you need to do is specify the mail server, your user name, and your password - and whether you want the messages to remain on the system.

Incoming Mail Server
This is the name of the mail server that your email program connects to when it downloads email. Mail server names will look like this: pop.mail.com, mail.xyzcompany.com, or even pop.mail.yahoo.com.

User Name
This is the account name that you use when logging on to your account. This will normally be the username part of your email address. For instance, if your email address is johnsmith@xyzcompany.com, your user name would be johnsmith.

Password
The password that you specified for your email account.

Remove
If you want Safe-mail to be your primary email client, then you should put a check in the Remove box. If you will be accessing your email account via another email client, you should leave the Remove box unchecked.

Outgoing mail server
Safe-mail gives you the option of accessing your Safe-mail account via email applications like Outlook and Eudora. To enable this option, type a password into the Password box under 'Outgoing mail server' and choose whether you want to download just the mail header, or the entire message.

If you will not be accessing the messages via the web interface, check the checkbox for 'Accept remove mails command'. The 'Accept remove mails command' removes messages from your account after your email client has finished downloading messages.
