Easier email access
The POP3 server can be on an NT, UNIX, LINUX, NetWare
or AS400 platform located anywhere on the LAN or with an ISP. Users can retrieve their
mail from LAN connected PCs, Web connected PCs (using web mail technology) or with green
screen terminals. The user's LAN mailbox can be on Exchange, Notes, Netscape or any other
LAN based system including the AS400 with a POP3 structure. Traveling green screen users
can retrieve and send email while on the road using any PC based web mail system.
Corporate users who normally use a POP3 client such as Outlook or Notes can now stay in
email contact from green screen terminal devices located in remote sales offices,
manufacturing plants, warehouses and other remote locations.
Single POP3 Server for Everyone
Administration is now easier with everyone's mailbox
managed by a single POP3 post office structure. Green screen users need a simple user id
and AS400 sign on structure to retrieve their email from the central POP3 server. This
makes the administration of additions, deletions and changes a less daunting task.
Direct SMTP Integration
The green screen POP3 email client uses
Net400's Direct SMTP component. This component eliminates any dependencies on the AS400
SNADS/SMTP or the Qtmmsendmail SMTP structure for both sending and receiving email. This
greatly simplifies the configuration and management of the SMTP resources on the AS400
while providing a richer functionality to the AS400 than is achievable with the SNADS/SMTP
structure. Complete MIME attachment encoding and decoding is also provided by the Direct
SMTP component.
AS400 Economics
Using a POP3 post office approach for
the green screen user provides the full capabilities of the AS400 based email system (such
as attaching AS400 spool files and database files to messages) as well as the capabilities
of PC based POP3 clients. Combined with the ability to enable AS400 application programs
to generate, receive and process business transactions makes the AS400 based email system
a very productive and attractive investment.
