How to: Edit POP and IMAP Settings using Courier

The Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) is responsible for delivering email messages to the recipient inboxes on the server.

From the MDA page in NodeWorx, server administrators may manage the IMAP and POP3 services, including editing the connection and memory limits.

Note

As of InterWorx version 6.3.0, all new installations of InterWorx use Dovecot for MDA services. Customers who installed InterWorx after version 6.3.0, or who converted an existing server’s MDA services to Dovecot, should refer to the MDA documentation for Dovecot for information on managing IMAP and POP3.
