SmartPop is our implementation of the POP3 protocol for the client side, that is, for connections from FTGate to the ISP's server (or other host) to connect and retrieve mail waiting to be retrieved and distributed to the final recipient.
Within a SmartPop account you define the following information
Name of the mailbox
Password for that mailbox
The name or IP address of the server where the mailbox is located
There are also options to decide where FTGate delivers the mail to, or if you define a single mailbox for all the mail, the mail will all go to that mailbox. When the connection is "online" SmartPop will connect to the defined mailbox and retrieve any waiting mail, delivering it as defined in the SmartPop setup.
