POPVerknüpfungen
POPVerknüpfungen refers to the German term for POP (Post Office Protocol) links or connections. In the context of email, POP3 is a protocol used by email clients to retrieve emails from a mail server. When a user configures their email client to connect to an email server using POP3, they are establishing a POPVerknüpfung. This connection allows the client to download messages from the server to the user's local device. Typically, POP3 downloads emails and then removes them from the server, though some clients can be configured to leave a copy on the server. The primary function of a POPVerknüpfung is to enable the retrieval of email messages for local storage and offline access. It is one of the most common methods for email clients to interact with mail servers, alongside IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). The setup of a POPVerknüpfung involves specifying the POP3 server address, username, and password. It is a foundational element of email communication for many users, enabling access to their inbox.
