Login and password
Use the full mailbox email address as the login and the mailbox password from the issued order.
When to use POP3
- download incoming messages to an email client
- connect a legacy system that supports POP3
- retrieve INBOX content through a standard mail protocol
POP3 behavior
POP3 is focused on retrieving messages from INBOX. Keeping server copies and deleting messages after download depend on client settings. Use IMAP when you need server-side state synchronization or several concurrent clients working with the same mailbox.
Limitations
- POP3 does not send email
- POP3 does not create orders or issue new mailboxes
- POP3 does not provide HTTP API code/link extraction functions
- the current Developer contract does not publish a separate commercial numeric POP3 concurrency limit, so this page does not invent one
Manual setup
Use port 995 with direct SSL/TLS. Do not use unencrypted POP3.

Cannot connect
Check imap.smakmail.com, port 995, and SSL/TLS mode.

Check the client's setting for keeping message copies on the server.
You need synchronization across several clients
Use IMAP instead of POP3 for this workflow.
