e-mail mailboxes
Basic principles
e-mail is a service in computer networks (primarily the Internet) allowing electronic messages to
be exchanged between a sender and one or more recipients. Alongside the
World Wide Web (www), e-mail is the most currently used service on the Internet.
In contrast to many other applications on the Internet or in the LAN, sending e-mails is an operation
in which there is no direct connection between the sender and receiver. To be independent
of a permanent connection, the e-mail recipient requires a mailbox on a mail server in which
incoming messages are stored. In the same way, the sender of an e-mail deposits the electronic
post in the recipient's mailbox. For this, the sender also requires a valid e-mail mailbox.
There must be at least one valid e-mail mailbox configured for the panel to be able to receive
and deposit e-mails. It is only possible to configure e-mail mailboxes in the PC Client software,
allowing the end user to set their e-mail mailboxes themself at any time, without the need to access
the ETS. Configuration of the e-mail mailboxes can be carried out by opening the "e-mail"
item in the "Settings" menu.
The following settings are possible...
POP3 or IMAP:
During reception of messages from mail servers, the panel supports the synchronisation using
POP3 (Post Office Protocol of Generation 3) or alternatively via
IMAPv4 (Internet Message Access Protocol of Version 4). These protocol variants can be configured
independently in the PC Client software for the up to five mailboxes.
i The following information should be observed with regard to the configured inbox protocol
(IMAPv4 , POP3):
With IMAPv4, only the "Inbox" directory of the mail server is synchronised. The panel does
not poll other directories. In addition, the panel cannot modify the directory structure on the
IMAP mail server. With IMAP, the e-mails stay on the server. The panel only ever downloads
a copy of the message.
With POP3 too, only copies of the messages are downloaded. The originals remain on the
mail server until 'Delete' is pressed on the panel.
i The panel does not support encryption of the communication ot the mail server (e.g. SSL).
SMTP:
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) controls the sending of an e-mail to the mail server of the
recipient. When the e-mail has reached its destination, it is deposited in the recipient's mailbox
and remains there until the recipient collects it. The panel also uses SMTP to send e-mail mailboxes.
For security reasons, some service providers required authentication of the sender at the beginning
of communication when e-mails are sent via SMTP. Usually, it is necessary to open one's
own inbox before the e-mail is sent. As this situation also requires the transmission of a username
and a password, it allows user authentication. The panel therefore offers the option of logging
onto the server before sending e-mails via POP. The necessity for authentication is usually
signalled by the service provider of the e-mail services or can be enquired about there.
Ports:
Communication takes place via various port addresses, according to the configured inbox protocol.
POP3 usually uses the port address "110", IMAPv4 uses "143" as standard. A port address
is also of importance for the SMTP service. This is defined as "25" by default.
To allow port address to be adapted to the services in heavily administered networks, it is possible
to enter the port addresses 'manually' in the configuration of the PC Client software, and
thus change them.
