POP and SMTP

1

The available functions depend on whether this machine is setup to use the POP or SMTP for retrieving E-mail from a mail server.

POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):

“SMTP” is a mailing protocol for sending E-mail messages between servers. Usually the E-mail systems that transfer E-mails over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another. Then the E-mail message can be retrieved with an E-mail client using either “POP” or “IMAP”. “POP” is a protocol used to retrieve E-mail from a mail server.

When this machine uses POP for the Receive Mode:

This machine works as a POP client. Similar to most E-mail applications, this machine uses POP for receiving an E-mail message and SMTP for sending an E-mail message.

When this machine uses SMTP for the Receive Mode:

This machine works as one of the mail servers. The machine can transfer an E-mail message in the SMTP transmission.

The following table shows the available functions according to the type of the protocols set for the Receive Mode.
