What are MailWall Hosted Mailbox (POP3 and IMAP4) Functions?
PRODUCT NOTE: Hosted mailboxes may have undesirable and unpredictable effects on a domain with Active Directory synchronisation enabled. It is not recommended or supported to use these features together.
Understanding Hosted Mailboxes
- MailWall can be configured to manage email addresses for a domain name and provide storage for customer mailboxes. Mailboxes are made available via compatible POP3 and IMAP4 email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Microsoft Entourage.
- Hosted mailboxes can remove the requirement for an email server to be located on the customer's premises as their email clients will directly connect MailWall over the Internet.
- In addition, hosted mailboxes are compatible with many mobile email devices and platforms.
- As standard, MailWall supports hosted mailboxes whereby email is accepted for pre-configured email addresses and delivered to associated mailboxes.
- MailWall can also support domain wide muli-drop mailboxes whereby all email for any possible addresses is accepted then delivered to a single mailbox. This option is not commonly used and is provided for special cases when an SMTP feed is not immediately possible.
- The alternative to hosted mailboxes is an SMTP feed. If you are unsure which option is best for you, please contact a MailWall professional for assistance.
- By default, all hosted email domains will have the following undeletable email addresses pre-configured: info@domain.tld, postmaster@domain.tld, abuse@domain.tld. These email addresses will be associated with the default mailbox. This can be changed via the forwarding options on MailManager.
