This page allows you to define the address and port the server will be bound to, and set the timeout for the service and enable logging of connection to this service.
The default port for POP3 connections is port 110. The server should only be bound to an address for additional security. In most cases it can be defined as 'Any unbound address'.

Description |
Address |
This is the IP Address this service is bound to. This should, in most cases be left blank.
Entering an IP address here will bind this service to that IP Address, and only allow connections on that number.
If you choose to bind the server to an IP address, select the IP address from those available on the FTGate machine, in the drop-down list. |
Port |
Defines the port this POP3 server will use for connections. Port 110 is the default POP3 port. By convention all applications, servers and services using POP3 communicate using this port. |
POP3 idle timeout |
Defines how long the POP3 server will remain connected to a host or client with no activity before disconnecting. Note that some mail clients will hold the connection open for long periods without activity while they process large emails. If you see a lot of timeouts due to this issue you should extend the timeout period. |
Create Connection log |
Records when and from where (the IP address) connections where made. |
