Email Source
Configure the first account you wish to download email from
Email address of account
A unique email address associated with this account used to identify this account.
Typically this should be the email address of the account you are collecting, so if you are collecting email from an ISP this could be for example myuser@myisp.com
Server
Each account can be downloaded from a separate server.
Be sure to fill in the correct server details for each account. POP3 is usually collected from port 110,
IMAP from port 143. If you leave these settings blank, the default server and port settings will be used from
the Settings page in the POP3 Reader module. Remember to use the server name not IP if collecting using SSL
pop3.yahoo.co.uk
Username
Accounts require a username and password login to allow downloading of email. This is the username or login name you provide to access this account and is used by the POP3 reader to automatically login to get your email from this account
Password
Most accounts require simple password authentication. If you are using Gmail, google mail, Office365 or Outlook.com you can use password authentication with either Legacy App access or App-passwords.
true
OAuth2
Google, Google Apps, Gmail, Office365 and Outlook.com accounts can require OAuth2 authentication. Use this option to use OAuth2 instead of App-password or legacy password authenticaton.
off
Authenticate
Sets up OAuth authentication for the account.
If you are downloading from a hosted cloud email service such as Gmail or Office365 you may need to choose OAuth2 authentication, and click the authenticate button to sign in and
get an authentication token.
Messages on server
Once a copy of each message has been downloaded you can choose to keep a copy on the server, delete/remove them from the server immediately, or expire them after the configured time period.
If your users are also checking their email directly you may wish to leave them on the server. If not then delete them from the server to save space and prevent the mailbox size being exceeded.
Use expiry if you wish to retain them on the server for users to read, but know your users may not remove them from the server either. Remember that expired email will
have already been downloaded and forwarded to your emailserver before being expired.
In all cases Hexamail POP3 Downloader keeps track of which messages have been downloaded and only new unseen messages are ever downloaded from the server.
