■ Each time you do a manual check for mail by choosing the Check Mail command from
the File menu or via another method, mail is checked for this personality as well. When
you create a personality, this option is checked by default.
If the Check Mail option is turned off, mail for this personality is not checked during manual
or automatic mail checks unless you override the setting. To override and check the mail
for the personality, choose Check Mail from the drop-down context menu (right-click) in
the Personalities window.
Incoming Mail
This panel contains settings that identify and configure the incoming mail server to be
used in receiving mail for this account.
When Configuration = POP:
Sample Account Settings (Incoming Mail panel, POP configuration)
Following are option descriptions for the Incoming Mail panel (POP configuration).
Server—This is the name of the incoming-mail server for this personality. All incoming
messages to this personality are routed through this server.
Configuration—This indicates which email protocol the incoming mail server uses: POP
(Post Office Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). Ask your email admin-
istrator which one to use, if you are not sure.
The settings in the rest of this panel depend on whether you’ve chosen POP or IMAP in
this field. Settings for both configurations are described below.
Leave mail on server—If selected, then during mail checks, incoming mail for this
personality is left on the incoming mail server and a copy is transferred to your PC. If this
turned off, then when mail is checked, incoming mail for this personality is deleted from
the incoming mail server after it is transferred to your PC. For more details, see “Managing
Your Mail on the POP Server” on page 55. Click the page number to display the topic.
