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.
This section describes how to add and modify the application monitor for POP3, and helps you view the
monitor report.
Adding a POP3 application monitor
APM monitor the POP3 application through the POP3 service port (110 by default). When you add a
POP3 application monitor, make sure the following requirements are satisfied:
• The host that provides the POP3 service to be monitored must be added to the IMC Platform. For
information about adding hosts to the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide
for the chapter on resource management.
• Obtain the mailbox username and password.
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:
 Name—Enter the application monitor name, which must be unique in APM. HP recommends
that you use the Application name_host IP address format to name 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
Devices window.
 Port—Enter the POP3 service port. The default value is 110.
 Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options
include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30. The default polling interval is 5 minutes. A shorter
polling interval provides more accurate real-time data but requires higher performance.
 Username/Password—Enter the mailbox username and password.
 Contact—Enter the contact information, such as name, email address, and telephone number.
 Related Applications—Click Add. The Select Applications window appears. Select the
applications that POP3 depends on, and click OK. You cannot select operating system

Solaris, Mac OS, and Linux. You can view the dependencies between applications in a
topology view.
