Specifying the email protocol
The probe can connect to a POP3 or IMAP mail server. It also supports the Transport Layer Security (TLS) communications security protocol. You must specify which protocol you are using in the properties file.
Use the Protocol property to specify which email protocol you are using and whether or not you are using it over a TLS connection. Use the following matrix to determine what value to specify for the Protocol property:
| Non-TLS | TLS | |
|---|---|---|
|
POP3 |
pop3 |
pop3s |
|
IMAP |
imap |
imaps |
For example, if you are using the POP3 protocol over a TLS connection, specify a value of pop3s for the Protocol property.
