4.2.2 MAIL RECEPTION

IFAX
E-mail
LAN
This machine supports three types of e-mail reception:
• POP3 (Post Office Protocol Ver. 3.)
• IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol)
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

POP3/IMAP4 Mail Reception Procedure

In order for the fax machine to receive e-mail, 1) there must be a POP3/IMAP4
server on the same LAN as the IFAX, and 2) an account must be set up for the fax
machine.
The machine automatically picks up e-mail from the server at an interval which is
adjustable in the range 2 to 1440 min. in 1-minute steps:
User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> E-mail Reception Interval
When the arrival of new e-mail is detected, the IFAX receives the mail.
If the POP3/IMAP4 server is holding several e-mails for the IFAX, the machine
picks up the e-mails one at a time, in the order of arrival at the server.
After POP3 has picked up the mail from a POP3 server, it deletes it from the server.
IMAP4 also picks up the mail from a server, but it does not delete the mail from the
server.
• However, the server setting is given higher priority than the machine setting.
E-mail reception conforms to POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3.0) procedures
or IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol).
