IMAP mail download functionality has been added to ProMax (fig. 1). A config panel (fig. 2) has also been added for designating the IMAP inbox folder.
This new feature is used when a user wants to view email messages from multiple locations without the worry of one mail client grabbing the message first, or having to set up mail forwarding. If using IMAP in ProMax, an additional email client software (Outlook, web mail, mobile device…) is required to delete messages from the mail account (to prevent the mailbox becoming full).
*Note - Once IMAP has been set up, the initial download of an IMAP mailbox will include all “unseen” messages only. From that point on, all messages newer than the last one downloaded will be retrieved.
For mail accounts that are exclusively used by ProMax, the Incoming Mail Server dropdown (fig. 1) should be left as POP3. |
