It also has support for both imap and pop3, with the option for ssl with both. For usage notes, see the [other notes](other_notes) page == Screenshots == 1.

Common port configurations: * pop3: 110 * pop3-ssl: 995 * imap: 143 * imap-ssl: 993 * (Postie ignores the settings under Settings->Writing->Writing-by-Email) = Automating checking e-mail = By default, postie checks for new e-mail every 30 minutes. You can select from a number of different checking intervals in the settings page, under the mailserver tab. If you would prefer to have more fine-grained control of how postie checks for mail, you can also set up a crontab. This is for advanced users only. If your site runs on a UNIX/linux server, and you have shell access, you can enable mail checking using cron; if you don't know anything about cron, skip to the cronless postie section.
