E-mail Exchange between KEN! and the Internet
KEN! – 4 Overview of KEN! 77
Example: Entering the access data of the E-mail provider in the
Wizard
E-mail is sent to the Internet via the SMTP servers of your E-
mail providers and received from the Internet via the POP3
servers of your E-mail providers.
Receiving E-mail
Your E-mail provider has one or more POP3 accounts set up
on its POP3 server in which E-mail from the Internet ad-
dressed to you awaits pickup. Whenever KEN! picks up
E-mail from the Internet, it reads the contents of all of your
POP3 accounts at the E-mail provider and distributes the E-
mail messages to the POP3 accounts on the KEN! Service PC.
From there the individual KEN! Users pick up their E-mail.
In order to access your POP3 account on the Internet provid-
er’s server, the provider supplies the name of its POP3 serv-
er, a POP3 user name and a POP3 password.
The POP3 user name is the name of the POP3 account. This
designation is, unfortunately, not used consistently by the
various providers and applications. Some refer to it as the
POP3 Login Name; others call it the POP3 Account Name.
Sending E-mail
For security reasons (for instance, spam protection), your E-
mail provider's SMTP server checks that you are authorized
to send mail before dispatching messages. This check gener-
ally follows one of the following three procedures:
• Generally the SMTP server checks which Internet provid-
er KEN! used to dial in. If the Internet provider is also
your E-mail provider, KEN! is authorized to send E-mail.
