14.5 Mail Server
14.5.1
POP/IMAP server
SX-GATE offers a mailbox to every member of group "system-mail". To have mails
delivered into a SX-GATE mailbox, at least one domain with "Deliver to SX-GATE
mailbox" must be configured.
This service provides access to SX-GATE's mail accounts with POP3 and IMAP4.
While POP3 provides access to the inbox only, IMAP4 offers much more features like
e.g. managing your mail in folders on the server.
You can also use the SX-GATE webmail client to access
mailboxes.
POP3 (port 110)
Access to the inbox is not encrypted from the beginning. However if the mail
client supports the appropriate protocol extensions, an encrypted connection can be
negotiated.
POP3 encrypted (port 995)
Inbox access is encrypted from the beginning.
IMAP4 (Port 143)
Connections to this service are not encrypted from the beginning. However if the mail
client supports the appropriate protocol extensions, an encrypted connection can be
negotiated.
IMAP4 encrypted (port 993)
Here the connection is encrypted from the beginning.
Enforce encryption
Enable this option to require an upgrade to an encrypted connecting when using the
unencrypted ports 110 or 143. Clients refusing to encrypt will be rejected.
