The POP3 protocol doesn't have any concept of Public Folders, it's the inbox or nothing :-)

If you want a MIME protocol that does understand Public Folders, IMAP is the only way to go.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I just want to know wether it is possible on scalix. On a Lotus-Notes System it is possible.

Best Regards

Can you explain how that's possible ?

The POP3 protocol doesn't provide the ability to select folders so, unless there is a proprietary extension to the protocol which is only understood by the Notes client, no other client will be able to connect to Notes server and do this.

Cheers

I may not quite understand what you mean, but Lotus Notes can only retrieve from a mail database using POP3. It also allows inbox access only.
