• Type - select mail server type with located mailbox. Selecting Internal SMTP server changes several fields and some previous fields will becme inactive.
  Attention! When configuring start parameters upon selecting Internal server it's preferable to complete the Domain Names for This Server. If they are not restricted and server is online, you can easily end up in a spam list (when meantime, nothing is sent).

• Mail server (POP3) / port - indicates mail server name with located mailbox and a port number used for data forwarding.

To get messages automatically, indicate time period (in minutes) inside the account's Check interval field. When this period expires, new messages are checked at the server. If emails are received manually, this fields must be left empty or indicate 0 value.

When creating a new email address, you can immediately create mail rules for this mailbox. Created rules will apply to emails, received to this mailbox (for example, to define SPAM rate, level of importance, deleting mail junk and etc.).

These rules allow sorting messages in social network communications. When sending an email message to a specified email address, it will be automatically posted on the forum. All forum subscribers will receive these messages that can be responded via email client. This process is similar to Google and Yahoo groups mailing lists, when all discussions can be performed via email and history will be stored inside forums (with communication available directly at the web forum.
