CONFIGURING

Specifying the default IMAP service greetings
In the Server document, you can configure the ports that IMAP clients can use to connect to the IMAP service. IMAP clients can connect over a TCP/IP port or an SSL port. If you have SSL set up on the server, you can configure the TCP/IP port so that it redirects connections to the SSL port.

About this task

When a client connects, the IMAP service responds by sending the client the greeting that is associated with the port the client uses to connect. In the Configuration Settings document, you can customize the greetings that the IMAP service returns to clients connecting over each port.

The IMAP service checks for new settings at the specified update configuration interval. If you change the greeting text, sessions that begin after the new configuration takes effect will receive the updated greeting.

Note: To configure IMAP service greetings on Domino® release 5 and earlier, use the settings IMAPGreeting, IMAPRedirectSSLGreeting, and IMAPSSLGreeting in the NOTES.INI file.
