Schedule
Each account can be checked for new email on a configurable schedule. Set this to the schedule most appropriate default. Only new email are downloaded each time, so the checks can be as frequent as you like. Remember that some ISPs wont allow collection intervals less than 10-15 minutes. If you set the schedule to be less than your ISP's allowed minimum interval then you may see errors in the log. Contact your ISP if you are unsure what their allowed minimum time interval between collections is and wish to avoid errors in your log or action being taken by your ISP.

Action
Once a copy of each message has been downloaded you can choose to keep a copy on the server, delete/remove them from the server immediately, or expire them after the configured time period. If your users are also checking their email directly you may wish to leave them on the server. If not then delete them from the server to save space and prevent the mailbox size being exceeded. Use expiry if you wish to retain them on the server for users to read, but know your users may not remove them from the server either. Remember that expired email will have already been downloaded and forwarded to your emailserver before being expired. In all cases Hexamail Server keeps track of which messages have been downloaded and only new unseen messages are ever downloaded from the server.
select
Keep, Delete, Expire
Keep
Action=Keep
ExpireTime
The email is expired after this number of days after it is first downloaded/seen by Hexamail on the server
number

1 Days
ExpireTime=1
MaxConnections
You can use a large number of simultaneous connections to provide for large amounts of email traffic being sent. Set this high if there are lots of accounts you wish to read from and you have sufficient bandwidth to handle large numbers of connections simultaneously.
number

6
MaxConnections=12
TimeOut
If the maximum timeout is exceeded the POP3 session is terminated. Any email remaining will be collected next time the POP3 reader connects. You should only need to increase this if you have servers on very poor connections, or extremely busy servers.
number
30 - 9000 seconds
180 seconds
TimeOut=240
MaxDuration
If the maximum duration is exceeded for a single transaction the POP3 session is terminated. Any email remaining will be collected next time the POP3 reader connects. You should not need to modify this unless working with extremely low bandwidth and very large email.
number

6000 seconds
MaxDuration=12000
MaxConnectionDuration
This sets the maximum duration one account can use to collect email. After this time the connection will be closed and other accounts checked. Any email remaining will be collected next time the POP3 reader checks the account. This can prevent a few very large accounts saturating the connections and not allowing other accounts to be collected. If you can only make a few connections to your POP or IMAP servers but wish to receive email regularly you may want to decrease this setting
number

MaxConnectionDuration=25
MaxConnectionCount
This sets the maximum number of email collected from one account in one connection. After this number the connection will be closed and other accounts checked. Remaining email will be collected next time the POP3 reader checks the account. This can prevent a few very large accounts saturating the connections and not allowing other accounts to be collected. If you can only make a few connections to your POP or IMAP servers but wish to receive email regularly you may want to decrease this setting. Set it to 0 (default) to collect all email

AccountxType
A catch-all account is a account where email to multiple recipients is delivered. Usually all the recipients are of the same domain, e.g the account will contain email to a@example.com ,b@example.com and c@example.com. If you wish to download all these email and forward them on to your server, use a catch-all account. Catch all accounts preserve the original recipients, so email to a@example.com will be forwarded to a@example.com on your email server. See the 'Reroute email to' setting for information on rerouting catch-all email to other domains.

Account%dType=off

AccountxType
An individual account is used to collect ALL email that are in the account and forward to a FIXED RECIPIENT list on your server. This may be one recipient or multiple, but they are specified in the Reroute to field and not extracted from the downloaded email headers.
text

Account%dType=off
AccountxName
Accounts require a username and password login to allow downloading of email. This is the username or login name you provide to access this account and is used by the POP3 reader to automatically login to get your email from this account
text
AccountxEmail
A unique email address associated with this account used to identify this account. Typically this should be the email address of the account you are collecting, so if you are collecting email from an ISP this could be for example myuser@myisp.com
text
AccountxDomain
The domains associated with this account. This is used to catch all email that have recipients matching these domains. If example.com is specified (or *@example.com or @example.com) then any email with recipients at that domain will be forwarded to that recipient on your email server. So an email with recipients a@example.com and b@somewhereelse.com will be sent to your email server for delivery to a@example.com. You can specify multiple domains to catch using comma separated entries e.g abc.com, abc.co.uk

AccountxSenderFromWhen
Always will always use the From address as the sender address when present. First, Second, Third, Fourth allows you to prioritize this header for use as the SMTP sender address. For example all those set to First will be checked first and the sender used if a valid address is found. Then the second fields will be checked and used if present. Last Resort will only use sender from this field if no others have been found.

AccountxSender
You can override the sender address used for missing senders using this setting. Some email will have no suitable MIME addresses for the sender. The default behaviour is to use POP3_<account name/email> as the address. Use this setting to specify your own sender address to use when no From MIME field is available. NOTE: using an internal/local address may stop the email being processed for SPAM etc. The address should be a valid address external to your domain, which is not whitelisted. Specify NONE to use a blank sender when sending the email on the next hop, if your server supports this. This setting only controls the SMTP envelope sender address and will not affect replies to the email or the displayed From field in email clients
text
AccountxSenderForce
You can override the sender address used for ALL email using this setting. Note that the reply-to and displayed From field shown to recipients of the email will not be affected. This setting only controls the SMTP envelope sender address

AccountxUseSSL
You can optionally specify to use SSL when collecting the email from the account. Check that the server you are collecting from supports SSL before using this setting. If you enable this and the server does not support SSL an error will occur in the log and no email will be collected. Remember to ensure the port setting is correct for SSL POP3 (usually 995 instead of 110), and ensure the server name is specified as a name and not an IP address.

AccountxSSLOpenSSL
This will use the OpenSSL encryption system instead of Windows SSPI. Sometimes this can help work around SSL incompatibilies with older Windows versions connecting to newer servers. For example Windows 2003 servers can have missing Cryptographic cipher sets required by newer servers. Rather than trying to install all the required hotfixes and change the Windows Cipher set settings (registry entries) it can sometimes be quicker to just use OpenSSL instead
