POP3 & IMAP Monitoring

POP3 and IMAP monitoring verifies that mail retrieval services accept connections and answer protocol greetings — because a dead IMAP server means every client sync fails at once.

Sending mail is half the job — retrieval is the other half

What it checks

  • POP3/IMAP service banner and greeting
  • TLS upgrade on secure ports
  • Connection latency per check

Set it up

  1. 1Add a POP3 or IMAP monitor per service and port
  2. 2Enable TLS checks for 993/995 endpoints
  3. 3Route failures to the mail team escalation

FAQ

Does it log in to a mailbox?

The check validates the service handshake — credentials are not required. Pair it with an SMTP check for full mail-path coverage.
