NAME
       IPOPd - Post Office Protocol server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/ipop2d

       /usr/etc/ipop3d

DESCRIPTION
       IPOP2d  and  IPOP3d are servers which support the POP2 and
       POP3 remote mail access	protocols  respectively.   IPOP2d
       and  IPOP3d  can	 also be used by POP2 and POP3 clients to
       access mailboxes on IMAP servers	 by  specifying	 a  login
       user  name in the form <host>:<user> e.g., SERVER.WASHING
       TON.EDU:SMITH.

       POPd is invoked by the  internet	 server	 (see  inetd(8)),
       normally	 for requests to connect to the POP port as indi
       cated by the /etc/services file (see services(5)).

SEE ALSO
       imapd(8C)

BUGS
       The POP2 and POP3 protocols are intrinsically less  flexi
       ble than IMAP and do not maintain `read' vs `unread' state
       on the server.  As  a  result,  most  POP  based	 software
       transfers  all  the mail from the server to the client and
       deletes it from the server.  This  necessarily  locks  the
       user into using only a single client.

       POP3  does  not	allow  you to specify an alternate folder
       from the user's default.
