[jira] [Created] (JAMES-3278) Simplify POP3 Configuration

David Leangen created JAMES-3278:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Simplify POP3 Configuration
                 Key: JAMES-3278
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3278
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: David Leangen


In the context of the *Basic Server*, it has been decided (ref??) that POP3 will be an included feature, but will be disabled by default.

The current mechanism by which POP3 is configured is questionable in this context because:
 * It exposes a lot of technical details that are not appropriate for a Basic Operator
 * It seems to require a lot of unnecessary configurations (to be discussed)
 * It mixes in the security (SSL) concern, which is another large and important issue
 * It is in XML 🤮

We should determine how this configuration can be made more "Operator-friendly".

 

(Note: we do not expect to work on this immediately. This is more of a placeholder for later work once an initial version of the Basic Server has been released.)
