Pop3 server

Server NGINX
#1

Can nginx act as a pop3 server or only as a pop3 proxy server? In
other words, can I use it to fetch e-mail directly from my maildir
folders, or do I need to be running something like Dovecot, Cyrus, or
Courier as well?

Nginx can only proxy. You’ll need a POP3 server.
