IMAP Settings

How to get here

Note: At the top of each Services page, the name of the Service, its Status (Running or Stopped), and a Start/Stop button appears. This allows you to Start or Stop individual Services from their respective web pages, as well as from the Service Administration page.

You can use the IMAP Settings page to configure the IMAP Server. IMAP4 lets users access remote messages stored on the mail server as if they were local. Users can read, move, delete mail, and create mailboxes on the server system. Since messages reside on the server, users can access their mailboxes from multiple machines.

Important: After making changes, click Save. Stop the service, wait 5-10 seconds and restart the service.

IMAP Logging

General Options

Account Harvesting Prevention

Tip: POP3 and IMAP share the same registry settings for all Account Harvesting Prevention options. Changing an IMAP setting will also affect the POP3 setting.

SSL Settings

Note: IMail Server uses OpenSSL Command Line Tool (v0.9.8e) which supports up to 4096-bit RSA and 2048-bit DSA. OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) network protocols and related cryptography standards required by them.

Advanced Options

When logging on to IMAP4, the service returns a welcome message that identifies the mail server version and vendor. You can use the IMAP Advanced options to change the service's welcome message, for example, if you want to hide the mail server version and vendor information.

Warning: The default advanced settings should be appropriate for most installations. If you need to change these settings, be aware that they can change the operation of the server.
