yuuji@0 14 .TH IPOPD 8 "August 30, 2006"
yuuji@0 15 .UC 5
yuuji@0 16 .SH NAME
yuuji@0 17 IPOPd \- Post Office Protocol server
yuuji@0 18 .SH SYNOPSIS
yuuji@0 19 .B /usr/etc/ipop2d
yuuji@0 20 .PP
yuuji@0 21 .B /usr/etc/ipop3d
yuuji@0 22 .SH DESCRIPTION
yuuji@0 23 .I ipop2d
yuuji@0 24 and
yuuji@0 25 .I ipop3d
yuuji@0 26 are servers which support the
yuuji@0 27 .B POP2
yuuji@0 28 and
yuuji@0 29 .B POP3
yuuji@0 30 remote mail access protocols respectively.
yuuji@0 31 .I ipop2d
yuuji@0 32 and
yuuji@0 33 .I ipop3d
yuuji@0 34 can also be used by
yuuji@0 35 .B POP2
yuuji@0 36 and
yuuji@0 37 .B POP3
yuuji@0 38 clients respecitively to access mailboxes on
yuuji@0 39 .B IMAP
yuuji@0 40 servers by specifying a login user name in the form <host>:<user>
yuuji@0 41 e.g.,
yuuji@0 42 .B SERVER.WASHINGTON.EDU:SMITH.
yuuji@0 43 .PP
yuuji@0 44 These daemons contain CRAM-MD5 and APOP support. See the md5.txt
yuuji@0 45 documentation file for additional information.
yuuji@0 46 .PP
yuuji@0 47 .I ipop2d
yuuji@0 48 and
yuuji@0 49 .I ipop3d
yuuji@0 50 are invoked by the internet server (see
yuuji@0 51 .IR inetd (8)),
yuuji@0 52 normally for requests to connect to the
yuuji@0 53 .B POP
yuuji@0 54 port as indicated by the
yuuji@0 55 .I /etc/services
yuuji@0 56 file (see
yuuji@0 57 .IR services (5)).
yuuji@0 58 .SH "SEE ALSO"
yuuji@0 59 imapd(8)
yuuji@0 60 .SH BUGS
yuuji@0 61 The
yuuji@0 62 .B POP2
yuuji@0 63 and
yuuji@0 64 .B POP3
yuuji@0 65 protocols are intrinsically less flexible than
yuuji@0 66 .B IMAP
yuuji@0 67 and do not maintain `read' vs `unread' state on the server. As a result,
yuuji@0 68 most
yuuji@0 69 .B POP
yuuji@0 70 based software transfers all the mail from the server to the client and
yuuji@0 71 deletes it from the server. This necessarily locks the user into using only
yuuji@0 72 a single client.
yuuji@0 73 .PP
yuuji@0 74 .B POP3
yuuji@0 75 does not allow you to specify an alternate folder from the user's default.
