Suggestions for POP3 performance optimization

1. For users who have exclusive access to a message from an POP3 client, the "Foreign Mail format usage option" In the current personal document is set to "preserve sender's format" (that is, "format preference for incoming mail" is set to "Keep in Senders ' format '). It is recommended that you modify this setting to "idiomatic mime" (that is, "prefers mime"), which differs from the following: The format of the sender is preserved: The local router retains the current message format when sending messages to the mail file. Messages received in MIME format on the server are therefore stored in a message file in MIME format, and messages received in Notes RTF format on the server are stored in Notes rich-text format (the default format for messages sent by notes users). Idiomatic MIME--mail files store messages in MIME format only. Because the POP3 client can only read messages in MIME format, the POP3 service must convert the message from CD format to MIME and consume time when the POP3 client requests a message stored in the Notes Rich Text format before it is sent to the client. When modified to "idiomatic MIME", Messages received by POP3 users are formatted for conversion when Router mail to the mailbox, without being converted by the POP3 service before passing them to the client. will ensure that POP3 users have the best performance.

2. Use Outlook or other POP3 clients whenever possible, and do not use Outlook Express as much as possible. Because Outlook Express and the POP3 server are connected, executing the list command reads all messages in the $POP3 view in the mail file, which can greatly affect server performance.

3. Do not set too short a time to check for new messages every so often in Outlook:

4, do not select "Leave copies of messages on the server" in Outlook

5. Can Domino POP3 clients be configured to ignore the read or unread status of the message to receive all messages?

From Domino R5.0.6 (including Domino R6), you can set it with the following parameters so that POP3 clients can accept all messages in the Inbox in the mail store (ignoring the read or unread status of the message):

　　POP3_READ_ALL=1
　　Syntax:　POP3MarkRead=value
　　Description:　Specifies whether POP3 messages should be marked as read after downloading. A value of 1 instructs the server to mark the messages as read.　Default is 0 (messages are marked as unread).
　　0 - Do not mark POP3 messages as read
　　1 - Marks all notes - those listed via the LIST command, as read
　　2 - Mark notes as read if they are retrieved via the RETR or TOP command.
