- With MultiNet 3.1 you can configure the POP server to
- - Move the read mail to the MAIL folder, or any other folder.
-
- or
- - Leave in the NEWMAIL folder, clearing the NEWMSG bit. POP will
- read only message with the NEWMSG flag set, if you configure it
- to do so.
-
- Refer to section 7.2.1 in the System Administrator's Guide
