Creating a mail file for a POP3 user
Each POP3 user must have a mail file on the IBM® Domino® server. You can create the mail file automatically during user registration, or you can manually create a mail file. If the user is already a registered IBM Notes® user who has an existing Notes mail file and if you set up the Person document to use POP3 as the mail system, the user can use a POP3 client to access the mail file.
