Configuring POP3

The steps involved in setting up POP3 include:
1. Installing the package that contains the POP3 daemon
2. Editing the file /etc/inetd.conf to make POP3 services available
3. Restarting the inetd daemon to make the changes in step 2 take effect
4. Checking that the POP3 daemon is accepting connections

Your Linux operating system installation procedure may have already set up POP3 for you. Before you start setting up POP3, therefore, you should use your favorite package manager to query whether POP3 is already installed.
