POP3 Protocol Details
Each mailbox can be set to support any client protocol, such as
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3). Follow this procedure to
set up POP3 client support for a mailbox:
- On the Exchange Advanced tab, click Protocol Settings.

The POP3 Protocol Details dialog box is displayed.

Enable for mailbox check box. To disable the protocol for this mailbox,

- To use POP3 protocol defaults for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
encoding, default character set,
rich-text format, public folders, fast message retrieval, and user delegation,
select the Use protocol defaults check box. When selected, all remaining options
in the POP3 Protocol Details dialog box are unavailable. To use settings other than the
default, click to clear the Use protocol defaults check box.
- MIME defines a rich set of content types
consisting of mail headers and body parts. These types allow for more definition of
the message content such as media type. UNIX-to-Unix Encode (UUENCODE) defines an
e-mail standard that compresses messages containing 8-bit data into messages containing
7-bit data for transmission in older e-mail environments. Additional encoding provides
support for Macintosh BinHex file format.
Select either MIME or UUEncode for a Message encoding option.
