The gateway enables other e-mail clients to connect through POP3 or IMAP to the storage server to read
their e-mail. With IMAP, it is also possible to view the contents of other folders and subfolders. The
gateway can be configured to listen for POP3, POP3S, IMAP and/or IMAPS.
The default settings of the gateway program are defined in kopano-gateway.cfg(5).
