Description
-
Determines port number used for listening.
Property type
-
A Long value.
Syntax
-
object.Port [= value]
The Port Property syntax has these parts:
object |
An expression evaluating to an object
of type wodImapServer. |
value |
A Long value that specifies local port
number where new connections will be accepted. |
Remarks
- Port property specifies what local port is used for
accepting new connections. It's default value 143 is well
known and 'registered' for usage of IMAP protocol
applications, but in specific cases you might want to change
it to something else. If you do so, please notify users that
will use your server for new port number. If you plan to use
SecurityImplicit setting in Security
property, you should set Port to 993.
When you choose this value, please be sure that selected port
is 'not taken' by some other application. If
you're not sure if it's available or not, easiest way
to find out is to execute 'netstat -a' from command
prompt and check if there's 'imap' or
'143' value listed in 'Local Address' column.
In default installations of all Windows operating systems,
IMAP server will not be installed so you don't have to
worry about this.
You cannot change value of this property when your server is
running. If you want to change it, first Stop the
server, change the port, and then Start it
again. If there are any users connected at that time, they
will be disconnected.
