_I_P_O_P_2_d and _I_P_O_P_3_d are servers which support the PPOOPP22 and
PPOOPP33 remote mail access protocols respectively. _I_P_O_P_2_d
and _I_P_O_P_3_d can also be used by PPOOPP22 and PPOOPP33 clients to
access mailboxes on IIMMAAPP servers by specifying a login
user name in the form <host>:<user> e.g., SSEERRVVEERR..WWAASSHHIINNGG
TTOONN..EEDDUU::SSMMIITTHH..
_P_O_P_d is invoked by the internet server (see _i_n_e_t_d(8)),
normally for requests to connect to the PPOOPP port as indi
cated by the _/_e_t_c_/_s_e_r_v_i_c_e_s file (see _s_e_r_v_i_c_e_s(5)).

The PPOOPP22 and PPOOPP33 protocols are intrinsically less flexi
ble than IIMMAAPP and do not maintain `read' vs `unread' state
on the server. As a result, most PPOOPP based software
transfers all the mail from the server to the client and
deletes it from the server. This necessarily locks the
user into using only a single client.
PPOOPP33 does not allow you to specify an alternate folder
from the user's default.
