I have a working server that only allows connections over secure IMAP (port 993) and secured submission (587).
However, I have one account that has been forwarding mail to gmail for many years and that is getting to be more and more of a problem as more large sites enforce DMARC.
So, the only way that gmail will pull mail is via pop3, so I need to add pop3 access.
- How do I add a secure (TLS) POP3 service to dovecot
- can I restrict access to that to specific users? Domains?
OT, but someone probably knows, is secured POP3 going to work with gmail?
===BEGIN passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ===END
I did read <https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration> but it’s about adding ssl to an existing setup.

Can I force pop3 connections to remove after downloading? Otherwise I know the inbox will just fill with thousands and thousands of mail.
Since all the mail is delivered via dovecot to ~user/Maildir/ will POP be returning the contents of the IMAP INBOX to the pop user?

that is added automatically, you can use ssl=required to require SSL use. and disable_plaintext_auth to disable authentication without SSL. Clients using pop3 port should use STARTTLS.
you can use autoexpunge here, i guess.
yes.

Are messages marked in anyway once they’ve been fetched with pop3 (like marked read?). If so, I could auto-archive them.
(I don’t mind storing old mail as much as I mind storing it in the inbox)

If they are simply marked read then there is no way to see if a message has been downloaded via POP3 as opposed to simply being a read message in IMAP, yes?
