Chapter 11 – POP3 Client
Introduction
The IP module can be configured as a POP3 client to retrieve emails from a POP3 server. The POP3 client, available
in the IP module, can do the following:
• List the number of messages and message sizes
• Retrieve the header information of messages
• Retrieve the complete email
• Retrieve the top 'n' lines of a message
• Delete an email on the server
• Retrieve the unique email ID listing
Important Notes
• This application is applicable only in the non-transparent mode.
• This application can be used only after the PPP link is UP with an IP Address on the modem port. (Refer to
the Prerequisite chapter - Physical Link Establishment for more details)
• In the event of PPP link DOWN, the POP3 request triggers PPP link establishment.
Setup and Configuration Prerequisites
To fulfill the prerequisites for receiving/retrieving emails from the email server, configure the following parameters:
• POP3 server name/ip address
Command: set recv-mail server-name <server-name>
• POP3 port number
Command: set recv-mail server-port <port-number>
• POP3 account/user name
Command: set recv-mail mailbox-name <account/user name>
• POP3 account/user password
Command: set recv-mail mailbox-password <account/user password>
These commands need to be executed only to set the initial configuration. However, they must be executed
whenever a parameter is changed.
Example
Assuming that the POP3 server is 192.168.2.10, POP3 port is 110, account/user name is mtss, and the account/user
password is mtsspass, execute the following commands to configure the IP module to retrieve emails.
set recv-mail server-name 192.168.2.10
OK
set recv-mail server-port 110
OK
set recv-mail mailbox-name mtss
OK
set recv-mail mailbox-password mtsspass
OK
