User Settings

Each user has a set of the User Settings: these settings are stored on the Server and they are in effect every time the user connects to the Server, whichever workstation is being used. In addition to the built-in User Settings (such as Personal Info), some communication modules introduce additional User Settings. For example, when the CommuniGate POP module is installed, the POP Accounts and the POP Access User Settings are added. To edit your User Settings, choose User Settings from the Edit menu. A dialog box appears and displays the list of the User Settings supported with your CommuniGate Server. Select icons in the list to view and modify your User Settings:
 

Personal Info

The Personal Info User Settings allows you to specify your real name, your signature text and the Special From address. Choose User Settings from the Edit menu and select the Personal Info icon in the User Settings dialog box.


The Real Name is a string that is used as the Primary Name attribute when the system creates an address record with your address. That address record is placed in the From field when you compose a new message. When a message is sent over the Internet, your Real Name is added to your E-mail address as a comment.

The text you enter into the Signature field is automatically placed at the end of each message you compose.

When you compose a message, the From address is created automatically, using your registered name. Sometimes, you may want some other address or E-mail account being placed in your messages as the From: address. Enter that account into the Special 'From' address field. Use this field only when absolutely necessary.

If you want replies to your message to be sent to some special address, you can enter it in the Special 'Reply-To' field.

Password

The Password User Settings allows you to specify your password that will be used to access your mailbox remotely via third-party e-mail client. With CommuniGator Client you'll use another, MacOS password that is to be specified in Users & Groups Control Panel on Server's computer.


 

POP Accounts

The POP Accounts settings allow you to specify up to three external POP accounts that will be checked for mail within specified intervals. All mail retreived from those accounts will go to user's InBox.

POP Access

The POP Access settings allow the user to access his CommuniGate InBox with any POP3-based mailer over TCP/IP network.
