Personalize and customize your account on the Account Info Page. Options and topics include:
Name, Organization, Email
Customize the name, organization, and reply-to email address fields that appear in the headers of the email messages
you send.
"Skin" Selection
EMU Webmail allows you to completely change the look of the interface by selecting a different "Skin". Skins include new
colors, fonts, and graphics. As a Webmail user, you have the ability to select and use the EMU Webmail look you like best. EMU Webmail
administrators may add skins, customize skins, and even limit the use of skins. Contact your administrator with any specific skin questions
or requests.
Messages Per Page
This option sets the number of messages per page that will appear in the message list when viewing a folder or your Inbox.
Seconds to Reload Index
EMU Webmail checks for new email automatically. Enter the time interval, in seconds, that you want EMU Webmail to wait between
checks. For example, 300 seconds means that EMU Webmail will check for new email every 5 minutes. If you enter a short time interval, your
connection may slow down due to the constant connections EMU Webmail will have to make with your server.
Primary Mailhost Protocol
Select whether you want EMU Webmail to use IMAP or POP3 to check your email. Generally, IMAP is preferred because it is more
advanced than POP3. If you have IMAP folders and switch to POP3, your IMAP folders will not be accessible. It is advisable to use IMAP if
the server on which your account is held can support it. We advise users to check with their Administrators for further help.
IMAP Prefix
You may need to specify the root directory where your IMAP folders are stored on your account's server for them to be displayed
and work properly. If your folders don't appear under IMAP Folders in the side menu, or if you see a long list of your files rather than actual
folders, try setting the IMAP prefix. On many servers, the IMAP prefix is "mail/". In some cases, it is "INBOX.". If you are not certain, find
out from your EMU Webmail administrator.
Don't Synchronize with POP Server
This option is only available if you use POP3. It only applies if you use another email checking program or service outside of
EMU Webmail. EMU Webmail synchronizes whatever you may do in the other program so that what you see in that program is exactly what you see in
EMU Webmail.
For example, if you open your account with EMU Webmail and open it with another program, and delete a message with the other
program, EMU Webmail would also delete the same message so that your Inbox would be identical in EMU Webmail and the other program. Disable this
feature by placing a checkmark in this checkbox.
Note, this is an advanced feature that we recommend using only once you
have determined if you want to synchronize or not. Frequent enabling and disabling of this feature may cause problems with your EMU Webmail
account.
Automatically Display Attachments
If you receive a message with an attachment, EMU Webmail will attempt to display the attachment right in your message. Disable this
feature by removing the checkmark from this checkbox. When disabled, your attachments are all still accessible and will just require an extra
click.
Message headers are often large and contain information not particularly relevant to the simple reading of an email message. Full message
headers are disabled by default but may be enabled per-message via the Read Message page. To always show full
message headers, place a checkmark in this checkbox.
Reply with Quoted Message
Each time you reply to a message, the message you are replying to is quoted in the new message. Disable this feature by removing the
checkmark from this checkbox.
Real-time spam detection
The real-time spam detection in EMU Webmail utilizes MAPS (Mail Abuse Prevention
System) to weed out known spam and junk mail. Enable this feature by placing a checkmark in this checkbox.
Automatically Apply Filters
Your may apply the filters set "active" in the Filter Manager to your email in one of two ways.
First, automatically, meaning that any time new email is downloaded, your filters are automatically applied. Second, manually, meaning that once
any new messages have been downloaded, they will be stored in your Inbox until action is taken on them.
If you wish to have your
message automatically filtered, place a checkmark in the checkbox here or at the bottom of at the bottom of the
Filter Manager page. If you wish to apply filters manually, ensure
the checkbox does not have a checkmark, and an "Apply Filters" button will apply among the message controls in the Inbox and all folders.
Send Deleted Messages to "Trash" Folder
This feature sends deleted messages to a "Trash" folder rather than completely deleting them. This feature behaves like the 'Recycle
Bin' in Microsoft Windows. Disable this feature by removing the checkmark from this checkbox.
Email Signature
An email signature is a set of text that is added to the end of each email message sent from you account. Setting up an email
signature is as simple as typing it in the provided text box and saving the page.
Restore Default Settings
Clicking the "Restore Default Settings" button immediately returns the Account Info settings of the current account to that of a new
account. The changes are limited to the Account Info page and do not affect other account data, such as email, folders, mailboxes, filters, etc.
