Retrieving E-mail You may use a variety of POP or IMAP clients to retrieve e-mail from our e-mail server.  You may also use the web to check e-mail.  The following are instructions work for Microsoft Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6.  If you have questions regarding other e-mail client, please contact us. Instructions Tools >> Accounts Add >> Mail Display Name: Your name E-mail Address: username@responsiveweb.com Incoming mail server: mail.responsiveweb.com Outgoing mail server: mail.responsiveweb.com Account name: username Password: password POP or IMAP? Essentially, POP and IMAP performs the same function, i.e. retrieve e-mails from a remote e-mail server to your computer.  IMAP gives you more control, i.e. download/syncronize headers only, the entire message etc., while POP only allows for download and delete (the entire message).  If you use multiple computers to check your e-mail, we recommend that you setup an IMAP client.  Otherwise, POP is faster because all e-mails are stored locally in your computer. Disk Quota In general, you have a 10MB disk quota on our e-mail server.  If you are using POP, the default for most POP client is to download and delete the message from the server.  If you chose to save the message on the server for some reason, you will need to be aware that if there are too many messages on the server, you will need to remove them.  If you are using IMAP, whatever messages you delete, you will need to "expunge" them.  Any messages that are deleted are also moved to the Trash folder.  Messages that are not expunged or in the Trash folder counts towards the disk quota.  If you have a lot of messages in the Trash folder, you may want to delete those (and expunge them) as well. If you need more disk quota on our mail server, please contact us. SPAM Filter We filter incoming e-mails based on the criteria published by Open Relays Database and SpamCop.  You can also built your own additional e-mail filter using procmail. If you want this type of system to be installed on your dedicated server, please contact us.
