Once you understand how it works, you'll have no problem setting it
up.
X-Ray acts as a intermediary server between TB! and the remote
server. In this case it would be your POP server. X-Ray collects
mail from the server and then TB! collects the mail from X-Ray.
However, it's TB! that tells X-Ray when to collect mail and then TB!
will immediately collect the mail from X-Ray as X-ray receives it
since X-Ray doesn't have anywhere to store the mail once it receives
it.
For X-Ray to communicate with the remote POP server, you have to
configure it to connect to port 110 on the remote server since this
is the standard port for POP. However, you're flexible with what
ports to use within the scope of your machine when it's time for TB!
to interact with with X-Ray. You just have to indicate which port to
use.
TB! <--- port # ---> XRay <---port 110---> Remote POP server
of choice
With that background, do the following:
a) Setup the remote POP servers by going to the Servers tab. Right
click the servers list area and then select 'Add'. Select POP and
then put in your remote server name and logon credentials. Leave the
remote server port setting at 110.
b) The local port setting is critical and a lot of flexibility is
achieved here. The local port setting will be the port that TB!
needs to connect to so that it can get the mail from X-Ray.
It's possible to use the same local port number for all the remoter
POP servers. In this way you can download all mail from all the
remote servers to a single POP account. However, you'll have to
enable the 'POP cyclic change' (under the 'Settings' tab). What this
does is change from one remote POP server to another each time TB!
polls for mail. In this way a different remote server is checked
whenever TB! does a mail check. So for all those who wish to
download mail from multiple remote POP accounts to a single TB!
account, XRay provides a neat solution.
You may wish to download mail for each remote POP account to its own
TB! account. If you're doing this, you'll need to set a different
local PORT for each configured server. In this way mail from each
remote server will be conveyed to separate TB! accounts over their
own ports. You don't need to have a cyclic change of ports with such
a setup. When choosing what ports to use, avoid port numbers below
1024 since these are usually designated for special use. Good safe
port numbers can be between 10,000 and 15,000. You can use one for
each server.
Finally, you can do a combination of both, i.e., download mail from
more than one server to a single account and then download mail from
the other servers to another or separate accounts each.
On TB!'s side. For each account the POP server to enter is actually
XRay which resides on your machines own IP. You can enter there,
either 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1 . For the name and password, use
that for the remote server.
You should now be up and running. There's a lot of documentation on
the Kludge filtering and the setup of the message filtering seems
pretty straightforward.
