MAIL

Receiving Internet POP mail
Depending on what type of Internet mail is available within your organization or from your Internet service provider (ISP), you may use either POP3 or IMAP for your incoming Internet mail.

Note: POP3 servers are more common than IMAP, another protocol used by some Internet service providers or Internet servers. If you're not sure which protocol your server uses, ask your system administrator or check your ISP's web site information.

Your IBMR LotusR NotesR connection to your Internet server(s) must be set up for you to receive Internet mail.

To receive Internet POP mail

1. If necessary, switch to a location from which you can access your POP account.


2. Open the Replication and Sync page.

3. Click the Receive Internet mail entry and click Actions > Replicate Selected Application. Notes receives mail from the Internet server and stores it in the Notes application (local or server-based) specified in the Mail file field of the current location document.


With a POP account, you can specify whether to leave your mail on the Internet server or delete it from the server when you replicate it locally. The default is to leave it on the server. To access your Internet mail from more than one location, for example, from both Home and Office, leave your mail on the Internet server.

You can secure your POP account with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for safe transmission over the Internet. For more information, see Securing your POP3, IMAP, LDAP, or NNTP accounts.
