We recommend attempting the Mail server emulator (auto mode) first. Only if that fails, use the manual mode.

 

Steps to perform:

 

•Select POP3 or IMAP emulation

•Click Connect in AMBPR

•Launch the email client

•Open account properties in the email client

•Take note of the current incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server address

•Replace it with localhost or 127.0.0.1

•Save account properties

•Connect to the Internet (not required for some clients)

•Receive mail in the email client

•Go back to AMBPR and check of the POP3 user/password are captured

 

This method works for regular authentication only; in other cases (e.g. MD5 APOP) the password may not be passed to the server, and cannot be captured.

 

Unlike the automatic mode, manual mode works for a single POP3 or IMAP4 account at a time.
