General settings - Mail profile

 

Platinum Internet Security can show the folders that contain e-mail messages in the programs Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, so that they can be selected to be scanned. These e-mail programs allow users to define various profiles, each with its own characteristics. Through this configuration tab you can indicate which of the existing profiles the program must select in each case.

 

In each case or e-mail program (both Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express), the configuration options are the same. These options are displayed in two sections: Microsoft Outlook profiles and Outlook Express profiles.

·      Default profile. This option specifies that the default profile of the configuration of the mail program Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express will be opened.

·      Ask on entering. Platinum Internet Security will ask which profile it must open when the program is accessed, offering a list of all of the profiles defined in the e-mail programs Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express.

·      Specified profile. This option allows you to select a specific profile with which the program will always work.

 

The drop-down list that appears in each section (Outlook profiles and Outlook Express profiles) allows you to specify the profile with which you want to work (provided that the checkbox Specified profile is enabled).

 

Several buttons appear at the bottom of this tab. By clicking on OK, the changes to the configuration will be saved. By clicking Default, the default settings of the tab after the program was installed will be restored. By clicking on Cancel, the changes to the configuration will be neither saved nor applied.
