Incoming mail setup
This page enables you to set up the DCM to retrieve e-mail from a POP3 or
IMAP server on the network, either unencrypted or secured using TLS
(transport-layer security.) If you do not need the DCM to be able to fetch mail,
select None from the net.mail.in.type drop-down menu and ignore the remaining
settings.
net.mail.in.password : The password needed to log in to the mail server.
net.mail.in.port : The number of the port to connect to on the mail server. This
generally depends on the protocol used to retrieve mail:
•
For pop3 mail, this port will normally be 110, or 995 for secure POP3
over TLS.
•
For imap mail, this port will normally be 143, or 993 for secure IMAP
over TLS.
net.mail.in.server : The hostname or IP address of the mail server.
net.mail.in.tls : Select yes to encrypt the incoming mail channel with TLS, no to
leave communications unencrypted.
net.mail.in.type : Select pop-3 or imap to use that protocol to retrieve mail from
the server. If you do not need the DCM to be able to receive mail, select None.
net.mail.in.username : The username needed to log in to the mail server.
