PLANNING
Various clients are available that enable users to interact with mail files on an HCL Domino® server.
You can use the following types of clients with a Domino mail server:
A Notes client can interact with a Domino server using either Notes protocols or Internet protocols, such as IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. If your organization uses Notes clients, select any of these protocols for server access. Enable the protocol on the server that clients use for access.
Notes clients access the Domino Directory using either Notes protocols or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Users can create a local replica of their mail file while maintaining a complete mail file on a Domino server. Users can work off-line and then connect to their server to replicate changes to documents and send mail.

iNotes
Users with mail files on a Domino server that runs the HTTP service can retrieve and send mail using the browser-based client iNotes. To enable users to use iNotes, register them in Domino as iNotes users with a Notes mail template.
IMAP clients
Users with IMAP clients can download mail to a local mail file or interact with and manage mail directly on a Domino server that runs the IMAP service. They use the IMAP protocol to read and manage mail, use SMTP to send mail, and can use LDAP to access the Domino Directory.
Enable the IMAP service and enable the SMTP listener to let IMAP clients use the Domino server for mail.
POP3 clients
Users with POP3 clients can download mail to a local mail file and interact with it there, as well as leave a copy of the mail in their file on the Domino server. POP3 clients retrieve mail from a Domino server that runs the POP3 service, use SMTP to send mail, and can use LDAP to access the Domino Directory.
Enable the POP3 service and enable the SMTP listener so that POP3 clients can use the Domino server for mail.
