4.3 MAIL RECEPTION

4.3.1 OVERVIEW

IFAX
LAN
The IFAX supports the following protocols:
• POP3 (Post Office Protocol Ver. 3.)
• IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol)
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

4.3.2 POP3/IMAP4

To receive e-mailed data, the IFAX facsimile must satisfy both of the following
conditions:
• The POP3/IMAP4 server is on the same LAN.
• The facsimile has a mail account.
The IFAX facsimile fetches e-mailed data from the server at regular intervals
specified with the following menu: ! > System Settings > File Transfer > E-mail
Reception Interval. You can specify an interval from two to 1440 minutes.
If the POP3/IMAP4 server stores several e-mailed data, the IFAX facsimile fetches
one e-mailed data at a time in the order of arrival. After fetching e-mailed data, the
IFAX facsimile deletes the original data from the POP3 server. As for the IMAP4
server, the IFAX facsimile does not delete the original data from the server after
fetching e-mailed data. Note that, however, the server settings can override the
IFAX settings.
NOTE: The POP3/IMAP4 servers save the e-mails on their hard disks. These e-
mails are not lost when the server is unexpectedly shut down, for example,
for power failure. As for the SMTP servers, the e-mails are lost when the
server is unexpectedly shut down. In a case like this, the SMTP server
sends an error report to the sender, but does not recover e-mails.
