RE: IBM i SMTP email service

I believe you can still use the IBMi SMTP and POP server, but from a business perspective I would ask why in today's world with the poor quality of the IBMi mail handling services ?

Why wouldn't you set up a mailbox somewhere else. ?

What's your primary mail server ?

What's the business use case where you would want to have a mailbox somewhere other than your primary email server ?

There are many FREE and paid tools that can retrieve email messages quickly from a mailbox and process them on IBMi.

One such paid tool is our Automate software.

Tell use more about the why it has to be IBMi ?

We have used the SMTP server for years to send emails. First with SNDDST and now with API calls. Now we have a business need to see if we can use this email service to let a user connect via POP/IMAP using an email client like Outlook to send emails through the IBM i service. I can find lots of references to using Domino to do this but we don't run Domino. Is something like this possible?

Thanks
