  • Ensure that POPFile is running and all mail will be delivered through POPFile.
  • You'll need to make sure POPFile starts whenever Windows does. If you're using the Windows installer version, you can drag the 'Start POPFile in Background' link from the POPFile group in the Start menu to the Startup group. Now, Windows will load POPFile each time.
  • Important! If POPFile isn't loaded, the mail will not get through - and your email program won't connect!
