Containers. Administrators publish an instance of this folder type to a My webMethods Server page to provide a way to view the contents of a POP3 mailbox. The Pop3 Folder polls a POP3 mailbox and creates entries within the folder for each e-mail message it retrieves.
By default,
My webMethods Server uses the
Mime Message Folder Renderer
Portlet to render an instance of a
Pop3 Folder. The
Mime Message Folder Renderer
Portlet renders the mailbox content by displaying the list of e-mail messages in a table. A user can click an e-mail message in the table to view the contents of that message.
The Pop3 Folder also adds a Fetch New Messages option to the Tools menu so that end users can force an immediate refresh of messages from the POP3 mailbox, overriding the refresh interval.
Extended Properties
Refresh Interval (refreshInterval)
Indicates how many hours you want the portlet to wait before polling the POP3 mailbox again to check for new e-mail messages. Specify 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, or 24 hours. If the property has no value, for example, when set to an empty value, then the portlet continuously polls the mailbox.
Connection Parameters
Host (host)
Identifies the POP3 server for the POP3 mailbox. Specify the host name of the server. If the property has no value, the portlet does not make attempts to retrieve e-mail messages and, as a result, the Pop3 Folder will contain no content.
Port (port)
Identifies the port to use to connect to the POP3 server. Specify the port number. The standard POP3 server port number is 30. If the property has no value, the portlet does not make attempts to retrieve e-mail messages and, as a result, the Pop3 Folder will contain no content.
User Name (username)
Identifies the mailbox on the POP3 server from which to retrieve messages. Specify the user name associated with the mailbox. The Pop3 Folder supplies this user name to the POP3 server for authentication. If the property has no value, the portlet cannot retrieve e-mail messages and, as a result, the Pop3 Folder will contain no content.
Password (password)
Provides the password for the user name. The Pop3 Folder supplies this password, along with the user name, to the POP3 server for authentication. If the property has no value, the portlet cannot retrieve e-mail messages and, as a result, the Pop3 Folder will contain no content.
