DumbMonit
Mailbox (POP3)
A POP3 server greets, offers TLS and accepts a login, like a real mail client.

How it connects
What you need
- Username / passwordSent once the connection is encrypted, never before.
No account needed.
Default port: 995
Setup steps: Monitor a POP3 server
In DumbMonit, enter the mail server, for example pop.example.com:1995 (port 995 with the default encryption).
Pick the encryption: TLS for port 995, STARTTLS for port 110 (STLS command), None for a server on your own network.
Optional: fill in a mailbox account, to check that the server still accepts logins (a refused password is not reported as an outage).
Heads-up. The check never lists or reads messages: it logs in, then says goodbye.
