Description

Analogous to IMAPConfigUpdateInterval, this parameter sets the interval at which the POP3 task re-reads its configuration documents. Changes (auth mode, ports, SSL) are then applied without a restart.

Example configuration

POP3ConfigUpdateInterval=2

Notes & pitfalls

  • Value in minutes.
  • POP3 is often disabled entirely on modern servers – in that case the parameter has no effect.
  • Very low values cause unnecessary load on the configuration database.
  • Manual reload via restart task pop3.
  • The change only takes effect after a restart of the POP3 task.
