External Mail Module   The Remote Access settings allow you to retrieve messages from remote POP3 mailboxes and deliver them to your INBOX. If you have several accounts on several hosts, you can instruct the Remote POP3 settings to poll your accounts, so all your mail is collected and placed in your INBOX.

Poll Every This option specifies how often the External Mail module should poll the remote account.   Account This option specifies the name of the mail account on the remote host. For Unified Domain-Wide Accounts, this name is usually your domain name or part of your domain name.     at Host This option specifies the exact name of the POP server that should be polled. Please note that this could be the name of a specific computer (as specified in DNS A-records), not just a generic domain name of the provider system. For example, if the provider has the domain name provider.com, its POP server is usually named mail.provider.com or pop.provider.com. Consult with your provider. Standard POP servers accept incoming connections on the TCP port 110. If you need to poll an account on a remote POP server that uses a non-standard port, specify the port number after the host name, using the colon (:) symbol as the separator: pop.provider.com:111   Password The password to use to log into the remote account.   Leave If this option is selected, the External Mail module does not delete messages from the remote account mailbox. Instead, it remembers the UID (Unique IDentifier) of the last retrieved message, and the next time the External Mail module polls this remote account, it does not retrieve messages that have UIDs less or equal to the UID of the last retrieved message. If you want to use this option, verify that: the remote POP server supports the UIDL command. the remote POP server generates alphanumeric UID strings in the ascending order.   Last If the last attempt to retrieve mail from the remote account was successful, this field tells when (in the server local time) this attempt took place. If the last attempt was not successful, the field contains the error code.
