Yes, Kolab Now provide POP3 access, although we advice users to connect via IMAP (See this knowledge base article).
The configuration values for POP3 are:
Incoming Server Settings / Receiving Email
| Setting Name | Value |
| Server Address | pop.kolabnow.com (or imap.kolabnow.com – Both will work) |
| Port Number | 995 |
| SSL/TLS (aka. Encryption or Security) | SSL |
| Authentication | Automatic or Normal Password |
| Username | Your Primary Email Address |
SMTP Settings / Sending Email
| Setting Name | Value |
| Server Address | smtp.kolabnow.com |
| Port Number | 587 |
| SSL/TLS (aka. Encryption or Security) | STARTTLS |
| Authentication | Automatic or Normal Password |
| Username | Your Primary Email Address |
SMTP Settings with implicit TLS
| Setting Name | Value |
| Server Address | smtp.kolabnow.com |
| Port Number | 465 |
| SSL/TLS (aka. Encryption or Security) | SSL/TLS |
| Authentication | Automatic or Normal Password |
| Username | Your Primary Email Address |
Please note, that even when your primary email address is not @kolabnow.com, but e.g. @myprivatedomain.org, you have to connect to the servers:
imap.kolabnow.com and smtp.kolabnow.com.
