POP3 Mailserver check
GFI Network Server Monitor can check the availability of POP3 mail
servers. The POP3 Mailserver check initiates a handshake connection
to the remote POP3 port and through the replies received, it can verify
if the remote server’s POP3 protocol is working properly. This check
can also be configured to physically log on to a specific mailbox and
check for the number of emails present in a folder within the accessed
mailbox. This will verify that the POP3 service is indeed running,
accessible and delivering the required service to end users. The
POP3 check also supports logon to the POP3 mailbox using SSL.
Through SSL, you can secure the transmission session by
electronically authenticating each end of an encrypted transmission.

The POP3 Mailserver check requires the following parameters:
• Port – Specify the TCP port to be used when connecting to the
POP3 mail server (POP3 Default port is 110).
• Timeout – Specify the connection timeout in milliseconds. The
check will fail if a connection is not established before the specified
timeout elapses.
• Requires an encrypted connection (SSL) – Select this option if you
want to encrypted the transmission (i.e. establish a secure session
by electronically authenticating each end of an encrypted
transmission).
