Setting up the Person document for a POP3 user
To access mail files on the Domino® server, a POP3 user must have a Person document in the Domino Directory. For users who already have a Person document, edit settings in the existing document as necessary to provide POP3 support. If a user does not have an existing Person document, you must create a new one. You can create a Person document manually, or use the Domino registration process to create the Person document automatically. If you use the Domino registration process, select POP3 in the Mail system field of the Register Person dialog box.

About this task

By default, the Domino registration process generates a Notes® ID file (and corresponding Notes Public Encryption Key in the Domino Directory) for each user in addition to creating the Person documents and mail files required by a POP3 user. Because users who will access Domino from POP3 clients only do not require a Notes ID, during registration you can deselect the option to Create a Notes ID for this person. However, if a new POP3 user also requires access to Domino from a Notes client, Domino Administrator client, or Domino Designer client, be sure to enable creation of an ID file.
