This window will be always open while you're using the software: closing it will exit the program.
The main component is a list of active accounts: of course, it will be empty at first launch.
View shows the message list relative to the selected account (see below): equivalent to a double click on an account name
Add adds a new account to the list, using the data specified in the detail below the list itself
Remove deletes an account (and all its messages/settings)
Modify substitutes the details of the selected account with the data in the fields below the list
Check checks the mail on all accounts: if no password was given yet during this session, the password to access the account is required
- Register asks for the license key: the software comes free for personal use, but is enabled for only one account. When the user registers the software, he's given a key (to insert here once) that unlocks the software and allows handling of unlimited accounts
- Global Settings puts up the global configuration dialog: see below for more informations
Clicking on "Add" or "Modify" will bring up a dialog to enter details of the account
- Account name the name given to this account: this is the value you've to insert in your e-mail client. You can only enter this value when creating a new account, it cannot be changed later.
- Mail user name the name of the account on the external mail server: while this is typically the same of the Account name, it's not always the case.
- Mail server the address of the mail server
- Server type and port server type can be POP or IMAP, port is usually 110 for POP and 143 for IMAP, and is automatically set when you choose the account type: don't change these values, unless required by your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
If you don't know what to put here, just leave the defaults (POP and 110), as they're supported nearly anywhere.
- E-mail address the address you receive mail at on this server: this is used by the software also as an indication for "my address"
- Report address for SpamCop SpamCop has a reporting service for spam: when you subscribe (basic service is free), you get an email address where you can send spam for them to evaluate. Setting this field to that special address allows PostArmor to send automatically a report to SpamCop with a simple click.
- Do automatic check every ... minutes a non-zero value indicates the minutes to pass between automatic checks on the server for this account: a zero indicates that no check is to be performed
This setting will become active at the next startup of the software.
