The "Remote POP" tab allows you to configure parameters relative to logging and thread management.
Service configuration
Logging
You can select several types of messages to be logged for the Remote POP service: critical messages, error messages, warning messages, informational messages, and protocol communication. To select which are to be logged, click the "Log Level" slider and move it to the left or right. The selected types of messages will change color from whiter to grey.
Log files can be stored using your internal log files, your system's log files, or within the log files located on a remote system. Use the "Log" drop-down menu to select where to save your log files.
Thread management
Thread management allows you to set different numbers of processing threads for the Remote POP service, depending on your traffic load. First, using the up and down arrows, set a number of threads to be allotted when the Remote POP service is started. To have a different number of threads for peak periods, check the overload option and use the up and down arrows to choose the thread number.
Depending on your Remote POP service load, you can increase the number of processing threads which can lead to increased performance and response time for this service. However, this increase should be made very carefully, and make sure that the server hardware can provide the processing and memory resources required by a higher number of threads. The default setting of 2 starting threads and an increase on overload to 20 threads is recommended.
When you are done configuring these parameters, remember to click the "Save Configuration" button to preserve your changes.
