The POP Agent enables POP3 mail clients to download mail from the messaging system.
In addition to the basic NetMail® memory requirements, the POP Agent requires approximately 200 KB per expected simultaneous connection to your NetMail system.
In order for users to access their mailboxes, your messaging system must include at least one POP, IMAP, or Modular Web Agent.
The POP Agent object's only configurable property is Status. By default, the POP Agent is enabled.
Select Disabled to prevent the messaging server from launching the POP Agent at startup. However, to immediately disable the agent, you must manually unload the pop3d executable or restart the messaging server. For more information on manually unloading NetMail Agents or restarting the messaging server, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
After the POP Agent is disabled, the messaging server does not launch pop3d again until you select Enabled and restart the messaging server.
