Advanced settings for the account

   IMAP

IMAP Folders

For IMAP accounts you can configure multiple folders to download. NOTE: The POP3 protocol only allows the download of the INBOX, so you must use an IMAP account to use this feature

Example interface:

Default:INBOX

SkipGmail

You can optionally skip the GMAIL special folders that duplicate email from other folders. These are the folders stored under the IMAP path [Gmail] and are used to represent label information and other attributes. If you choose to download these folders as well from a Gmail accouint you may end up with duplicate email.

Example interface:

Default:true

UseIdle

For IMAP accounts you can use IDLE time notifications to trigger download of new messages. This can only be used for IMAP accounts with one folder configured. Using this feature means a permanent connection will be used for each IMAP account with this setting enabled. Please be sure to raise your maximum connections setting to provide adequate connections for all your IMAP accounts that have this feature enabled. NOTE: The POP3 protocol does not support this feature

Example interface:

Default:Off

Tag email

You can optionally insert an email header specifying the origin folder of the email

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:on

in header

You can optionally insert an email header specifying the origin folder of the email

Example interface:

Default:X-HXM-Folder

Set Seen

You can optionally set email as read when downloaded using IMAP. NOTE: POP3 does not support the concept of read/unread flags so this only applies to IMAP

Example interface:

Default:true

Newer than

You can optionally download only email newer than this number of days. Use 0 days to ignore this setting

Example interface:

Default:0 Days

Older than

You can optionally download only email older than this number of days. Use 0 days to ignore this setting

Example interface:

Default:0 Days

   Security

Use APOP (Secure authentication)

APOP (Authenticated Post Office Protocol) ensures that your password is not sent in clear text to the server. The server needs to support APOP to use this feature

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:false

Ignore SSL Certificate errors

Ignore SSL Certificate errors

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:Off

   Sender

Default From Address

You can override the sender address used for missing senders using this setting. Some email will have no MIME From: address. 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.

Example interface:

Default:pop3@domain.com

Always use this sender

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

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:off

   Size limits

Large email

When a large email is ecountered it can be downloaded, postponed until all other email for the account have been downloaded or skipped altogether (and left on the server).

Example interface:

Options:Download, Postpone, Skip

Default:Download

Email over

Email over this size are considered large and will be treated as per the large email action configured

Example interface:

Range1 - 999999 kbytes

Default:2048 kbytes

Example:2000 kbytes

   Email ID Caching

Startup Mode

The first time this account connects it can be made to download and forward all existing email or just ones that arrive after the first connection is made.

Example interface:

Options:All, New

Default:All

Reset

Accounts store a list of unique IDs for email already seen. The ID cache is used to work out what new email to download. WARNING: If you are keeping or expiring email on the POP3 server then clearing the cached ID list can result in duplicate email being downloaded and delivered to your server. An exception to this behaviour is Microsoft Exchange, which implicitly deduplicates by the MIME Message ID, so even if you redownload email and redeliver to Microsoft Exchange they may not appear in your Exchange mailbox. Exchange does not log this behaviour, or document for how long it caches Message IDs.

Persistant ID Cache

Retain previous ID cache if no new IDs are found. The ID cache will be retained until a new list can be downloaded from the server.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:Off

AccountxDedupMsgID

To prevent duplicate email being downloaded if the server changes its unique ID for email, Hexamail stores the Message-ID of all downloaded email. Use this setting to instruct Hexamail to deduplicate email by Message-ID headers.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:On

AccountxDelDups

To prevent duplicate email being downloaded if the server changes its unique ID for email, Hexamail stores the Message-ID of all downloaded email. By default Hexamail will never delete an email that has not been downloaded and sent to the next server. Use this option to remove email with duplicate Message-IDs from the server even when Hexamail skips downloading the duplicate messages.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:Off
