See the md5.txt +documentation file for additional information. +.PP +.I ipop2d +and +.I ipop3d +are invoked by the internet server (see +.IR inetd (8)), +normally for requests to connect to the +.B POP +port as indicated by the +.I /etc/services +file (see +.IR services (5)). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +imapd(8) +.SH BUGS +The +.B POP2 +and +.B POP3 +protocols are intrinsically less flexible than +.B IMAP +and do not maintain `read' vs `unread' state on the server. As a result, +most +.B POP +based software transfers all the mail from the server to the client and +deletes it from the server. This necessarily locks the user into using only +a single client. +.PP +.B POP3 +does not allow you to specify an alternate folder from the user's default.
