If IMAP2 (RFC 1176) is good enough for you, you can use MAPSER which is about the ultimate gonzo pure TOPS-20 extended addressing assembly language program. Unfortunately, IMAP2 is barely good enough for Pine these days, and most other IMAP clients won't work with IMAP2 at all. Maybe someone will hack MAPSER to do IMAP4rev1 some day. We don't know if anyone wrote a POP3 server for TOPS-20. There definitely was a POP2 server once upon a time.

We presume you already have an account in your client to edit. (If not follow your client's help files and basic directions to set up an account. Then use the following instructions to edit that account). Select the Servers tab. Incoming server is "mail.yaomail.com". Outgoing is according to the directions of your ISP. Click the Advanced tab. Under Incoming mail, type "995" for POP3 or "993" for IMAP; check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL).

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) allows users further access to their mail through the use of mail folders, so as you store your mail in folders with your current mail client, you can store your mail folders on your mail server instead of only on your client. This facility greatly improves on POP.

If you are experiencing problems (i.e.,"bounced" messages, legitimate messages tagged as Spam, "undeliverable" messages etc) with Netmail (students) or Groupwise (staff), the Technical Support Centre will generally require the following information:

If a mail server does not start, make sure that no other server of the same type is running. The following areas should be checked: Start->Settings->Control Panel->Admin Tools->Computer Management under 'Services and Applications' Depending on which server fails to start, it may be possible to open a DOS command window on the mail server machine and 'telnet' to the server port to check if another server is running.

AOL does not use standard Internet protocols, so there are no addresses. You may be able to subscribe to an outside service that does support these protocols, to find these just go to any major search engine such as Yahoo and type in something along the lines of 'Free Email'

Yes. We support both IMAP and POP to read your e-mail. The required host names for the incoming server are imap.math.utah.edu and pop.math.utah.edu, respectively, mailhost.math.utah.edu for the outgoing server. For efficiency, the mail directory should be set to mail (that is, a subdirectory in your top-level login directory); otherwise, the e-mail client might try to search your entire login tree for the files that it maintains.

Yes. The UITS Department has enabled IMAP over secure SSL for use with the Huskymail Student Mail system. This will allow all students to use IMAP client mail programs (Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, etc...) to access their mail without connecting to the Huskymail Website. For Instructions on configuring your Mail Program for IMAP, please click here. UITS has decided to keep @Uconn.edu mail address for all students, in addition to the @huskymail.uconn.edu address. The @UConn.

Using Mac OS 10.3, panther, one can now easily use SSL with mail. That is the good news. The bad news, the process of getting and retaining a local certificate is somewhat involved and has at least one known major pitfall. To start, in the advanced settings for the IMAP account, there is a check box for SSL. Check it. Then, the next time you start email, follow the instructions here: And now, the big gotcha. If Mail.

The PINE email package comes with both a POP and an IMAP server. PINE can be found at http://www.washington.edu/imap. An old, unmaintained Berkeley popd can be found at ftp://ftp.cc.berkeley.edu/pub/pop (not recommended), and Casper Dik's enhanced version of this for Solaris is found at ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/. A POP server can also be found as part of the Eudora ftp repository, at ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/unix/servers.

In order to use a POP mail server you must tell your mail client that it is to contact a POP server, usually this can be done from an options screen inside your mail client (in outlook this is under the tools/e-mail accounts). POP servers normally run on port 110.)

However, your pop-up blocker may prevent iMAP from opening. iMAP launches in a new browser window, a necessary function which could nevertheless be prevented by a pop-up blocker installed in your computer or browser. If you click on a link to launch iMAP and nothing happens, there is a good chance a pop-up blocker is preventing iMAP from launching Most pop-up blockers give you the ability to choose sites that you trust so that pop-ups and new browser windows are allowed for those sites only.

Login to NCSU Sysnews lookup tool at https://sysnews.ncsu.edu/user-lookup/ and look under the "Email Also, you should have received an email from ITD informing you that you are a POP user and what actions to take.

POP mail enables you to use an email program, like MS Outlook and Outlook Express, on your own computer to send, receive and manage your emails. POP mail is one of the most functional ways to work with email. When you use POP mail, you actually download your emails from our server to your computer. Your emails are then stored on your own computer, which means you can manage your emails offline. You only need to be connected to the Internet to send and receive emails.

Pop downloads your mail from the server to the machine you check your mail from and stores the mail locally on that machine. IMAP keeps a copy of your mail on the server and only downloads messages as you look at them (unless you specify for it to behave differently.) POP is generally the method chosen by most. IMAP is helpful when you are often checking mail from different computers as you will have access to all your mail from each computer you use.

This depends on your needs. POP is ideal if you like to download your messages to your computer and read them offline, or if you typically only use one computer for reading your mail. IMAP allows you to read your mail selectively instead of downloading everything at once--you can save messages to your own computer as needed.

If you are experiencing problems (ie "bounced" messages, legitimate messages tagged as Spam, "undeliverable" messages etc) with Netmail (students) or Groupwise (staff), the Technical Support Centre will generally require the following information:

When you first configure your email address in a program such as Thunderbird or Outlook, you will be prompted to use either a POP or IMAP account. IMAP keeps your mail folders on the server. It is compatible with using CubMail. You can switch between different computers, mail programs, and CubMail, and they will all show the same mail folders and have the same messages marked as seen. If you want this flexibility, use IMAP. POP keeps the mail folders on the PC.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol that allows you to access electronic mail messages that are kept on a remote mail server rather than a local computer allowing you to view your messages on more than one computer. However, POP (Post Office Protocol) is a protocol used to download E-mail messages from a mail server to a local computer.

When electronic mailboxes were established, their defined structure was titled "Post Office Protocol." Or, in short hand, POP boxes. IMAP is Internet Message Access Protocol. RVMail.net can use both.

Both POP and IMAP are protocols used to retrieve emails from a server. POP is however designed to only fetch email from the Inbox folder and the email can be deleted or kept after retrieval. IMAP on the other hand, can be used to fetch emails from several folders. With IMAP, the emails and folders are always stored on the server and synched with your email client. (Please see the Email Help Center for a link to your specific POP and IMAP configuration information.)

Your first step towards creating such systems will be to read the relevant Request For Comments (RFCs) document. Not sure which one? There are specific search engines, such as http://www.rfc-editor.org/, that will allow you to search for the name of a protocol, and to then read relevant documents. These RFCs describe the protocol you wish to implement.

A Macintosh Server is one which uses server software from Apple. Apple's latest version of server software is Mac OS X Server. Taking its place with Windows NT, Novell NetWare, and Linux, Mac OS X Server provides file and print sharing, a Web server, and multimedia content streaming services to Apple Macintosh-based networks. A Macintosh Server can perform most tasks as well as any other platform.

DNS stands for Domain Name Server. The way machines actually find each other is by IP number (a doted quad of numbers like 130.95.156.3)- but what we usually type is a name like earwax.pd.uwa.edu.au or stairways.com.au. Your DNS looks up what IP number is associated with the name of the machine. The error you are getting means that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has their DNS configured 'wrong' somehow.

POP and IMAP are different email protocols. One difference is that MHC supports only IMAP for off-campus users, not POP. Read http://www.mtholyoke.edu/lits/network/email/desktop-email.html for more information.

POP & IMAP email accounts store email on the server in a mailbox. You can download your email using from the server using a POP enabled email program or read your email directly on the server using a IMAP enabled email program or our webmail feature. Here are instructions on how to change the password for an email account.
