Incoming Mail Server (Post Office Server): The server on which messages sent to your email address reside. MIT uses several incoming mail servers, rather than one, to better handle the load of the 27,000+ email accounts at MIT. Each incoming mail server on which @mit.edu email accounts are stored are named poxx.mit.edu, where xx is a two-digit number, e.g., po12.mit.edu or po14.mit.edu. Two email protocols are used on these servers, IMAP and POP.
