# Email Inbound POP3 Service Configurations

You can use this part of the section to create and configure mailboxes on your inbound mail POP3 servers.

Note: If you want to configure Gmail as the inbound Mail POP3 server in System Settings, you must change Google account settings first. In the Gmail account at https://mail.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps, you must turn on Allow less secure apps.

## Creating Email Poller

To create a new email poller, perform the following steps:

1. On the System Settings tile, click Transport protocols > Inbound Protocols.
2. In the Inbound window, select EMAIL check box, and click Save.
3. After enabling the EMAIL transport, click the Configure Service tab.
4. On Email Inbound POP3 Service Configurations, click the Add icon.
5. In the Create Email Poller dialog box, enter the required information in all the fields displayed. For more information about the fields, see the Edit Email Poller table.

On the Email Inbound POP3 Service Configurations page, you can enable or disable the switch in the Enable column to activate or deactivate an Email Poller.

## Configuring the POP3 Server Polling Service

TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition allows you to configure unlimited POP3 Email servers, so that email messages from all these servers can be received. All POP3 servers are configured in the following way:

1. On the Admin UI, expand System Settings > Transport Protocols > Inbound Protocols.
2. On the Email Inbound POP3 Service Configurations page, select the mail POP3 server you wish to configure. In the Edit Email Poller, configure the fields using the information displayed in the following table:

Edit Email Poller
Field | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Select the checkbox to enable the mail poller.
Mail POP3 Server | Name of the POP3 server. For example: pop.gmail.com:995 Note: If the SSL check box is selected, the port number is required in this field.
User Name | Name of the user for this mailbox. Note: The username should be unique.
Password | Password of the user for this mailbox.
Polling Interval (seconds) | Sets the polling interval to specify the frequency which the credential alert keeps tracking and publishing alerts on expiring credentials. The default value is 180 seconds.
SSL | Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration. For inbound messages, when this check box is selected, SSL/TLS protocols are used to ensure secure communication.
Trusted Certificates | Uploads an X.509 certificate file encoded in Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail (PEM) format. This PEM encoded file contains the server X.509 certificate along with all the CAs in the certificate path. Note: Only the PEM encoded X.509 files are supported. If the certificate expires, download the latest certificate.
Verify Host Name | When selecting this check box, verification of the host is made, confirming the host you are connecting to is the expected host. The host name in the host's digital certificate is compared against the value you specified. If the host name does not match the expected host name, the connection is refused. This is optional.
Strong Cipher Suites Only | Only cipher suites with strong encryption can be used, if they are available on the host you are connecting to. This is optional.
Number of Dispatch Attempts | Number of attempts to deliver inbound emails from the email event source component to the internal component. The default value is 3.
Dispatch Interval (Time interval for next retry in seconds) | Intervals between delivery attempts for emails sent from the email event source component to the internal component. The default value is 300 seconds.
Dispatch Timeout (seconds) | Timeout on the email event source component waiting for an email delivery acknowledgement from the internal component. The default value is 3600 seconds.

After you enter the required data, click Save and redeploy the Interior Server.
