12.5 POP2Exchange - Download emails from POP3 server
POP2Exchange downloads emails from a POP3 server, processes them and sends them to the local
mail server. The recommendation for GFI MailEssentials is to, if possible, avoid using POP3 and to use
SMTP since POP3 is designed for email clients and not for mail servers. Notwithstanding this fact, and
to cater for situations where a static IP address required by SMTP is not available, GFI MailEssentials
can use POP3 to retrieve email.

1. From the GFI MailEssentials server, go to Start >Programs >GFI MailEssentials >Email
Management Tools.
