POP3
The Post Office Protocol with version 3 (POP3) enables local email clients to retrieve mail messages from
a remote mail server to their local hosts for management. Most mail servers support POP3.
Adding a POP3 application monitor
APM monitor the POP3 application through the POP3 service port (110 by default). Before adding a
POP3 application monitor, complete the following tasks:
 Add the host that provides the POP3 service to be monitored to the IMC Platform so APM can obtain
and display network connections of the hosts and their access devices in the application topology.
For information about adding hosts to the IMC Platform, see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator
Guide.
 Obtain the email address and mailbox account information to test the POP3 service by using APM
as an email client.
 To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the POP3 application, make sure at least one probe
is configured in APM. After a POP3 application monitor is added, APM sends the IP address and
service port of the monitored POP3 application to the probes for traffic collection.
To add a POP3 application monitor:
1. Click the Resource tab.
2. Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:
 Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.
 Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and click Add on
the application monitor list page.
3. Click POP3 of the Mail Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a POP3 application monitor appears.
4. Configure the following parameters for the application monitor:
 IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the POP3 application to be monitored is
installed. If the host is already added to the IMC Platform, you can also click Select and select
the host in the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see "2 Quick
start." APM automatically checks the specified IP address and associates the application
monitor with the host managed in the IMC Platform.
 Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. HP recommends using Application
name_host IP address format for naming the application monitor.
 Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.
 IP Address—Click Select and select the target host that provides the POP3 service in the Select
