POP3 / IMAP server responsible for receiving of e-mail messages. POP3 / IMAP settings are required for the following Fax Voip T.38 Console function:

• Mail to Fax (Mail to Audio). Sending faxes and audio messages from e-mails.

It is assumed that you have an e-mail account, received from your Internet service provider or system administrator. Caution! To avoid unexpected problems this account should not be used by other mail clients to receive and send regular e-mails.

Enable OAuth 2.0 Modern Authentication

Select this checkbox to use OAuth 2.0 protocol when receiving e-mail messages. To configure OAuth 2.0, see OAuth 2.0 Settings (POP3 / IMAP). Modern authentication (OAuth 2.0 token-based authorization) is currently used by many well-known e-mail systems such as Gmail, Microsoft (Office 365, Hotmail, Outlook.com), Yahoo! and is intended to replace Basic authentication. OAuth 2.0 is supported starting from Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.3.1.

Click to configure OAuth 2.0 Settings (POP3 / IMAP).

Account type

Specifies the protocol to use for your incoming e-mail server. You can select between POP3 and IMAP.

Incoming mail Server

Specifies your POP3 / IMAP server for incoming messages. You can get this information from your Internet service provider (ISP) or local area network (LAN) administrator.

Port

Specifies the port number you connect to on your incoming e-mail server. This port number is usually 110 for POP3 servers and 143 for IMAP servers. In the case of using secure connection (SSL), the port number is usually 995 for POP3 servers and 993 for IMAP servers.

My server requires a secure connection (SSL)

Specifies whether to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security protocol when connecting to the POP3 / IMAP server. The administrator of Internet service provider for the server will indicate if the SSL requirement exists. Please note that starting from Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.2.1, TLS version 1.2 is used in the case of secure connection (SSL). Previous versions of Fax Voip T.38 Console used TLS version 1.0.

Login

Specifies your POP3 / IMAP account name. This is usually the same as the part of e-mail address to the left of the at sign (@).

Password

Provides a space to type the password assigned by your Internet service provider. The password is not required and is ignored if OAuth 2.0 Modern Authentication is used.

Check for new messages every ... sec

The interval for checking mailbox, using Mail to Fax (Mail to Audio) function. This value can vary from 10 to 60 seconds.

<Test>

Use this button to test your POP3 / IMAP settings before using.

Notes

• If you sent an e-mail with attachment, but the attachment somehow "lost" (strange...), try changing the type of incoming mail server from IMAP to POP3 or try with another server. Depending on the IMAP server and its settings, you may encounter this problem.
• If your server supports both POP3 and IMAP, it is recommended to use POP3. With some servers (e.g. in the case of pop.gmail.com / imap.gmail.com), incoming e-mail messages that are received and deleted via IMAP, can be then received again via POP3. This can lead to confusion.
• Modern authentication (OAuth 2.0 token-based authorization) is supported starting from Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.3.1. To configure OAuth 2.0, see OAuth 2.0 Settings (POP3 / IMAP).
• Starting from Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.2.1, TLS version 1.2 is used in the case of secure connection (SSL). Previous versions of Fax Voip T.38 Console used TLS version 1.0.
• To use Fax Voip T.38 Console with Gmail (Basic authentication) after May 30, 2022 you should turn on 2 Step Authentication for your Gmail account and then to generate the App Password from Google Security. The App Password should be then used in Fax Voip T.38 Console settings instead of the main password for your Google account. See the Microsoft Community forum for details. See also YouTube video.
• In the case of using SSL connection, invalid POP3 / IMAP server SSL certificate is ignored.
• To verify your settings, use <Test> button, see in the Testing POP3 / IMAP settings chapter. To view log, use Enable Receive Mail debug logging option, see in the E-mail logs chapter of this user manual.
