Mailboxes (Pro version only)

WorldClient can be set to collect mail from any number of additional POP mailboxes to which you have access. For example, you may have separate email accounts for home and work but wish to collect mail from both at once. The Mailboxes area (on the Mailboxes page in Options) is used for editing and adding those POP mailboxes from which you wish to collect email messages. For each mailbox entry you will specify the following items explained below:

• Mailbox ID

• The POP server from which you wish to collect messages.

• The User Name/Login ID used for your account on the POP server.

• The Password of your account on the POP server.

• The port on which your mail should be collected (usually the default 110).

• Whether checking for new messages is enabled/disabled.

• When to delete messages on the POP server.

• The row color of Message Listing entries collected from this POP server.

Mailbox ID
This is a descriptive name to be used for referring to the mailbox (e.g. "Home Mail", "My ISP mail", "Work", etc.). This name will be listed on the Mailbox Color Legend on the Message Listing.

POP Server
On the Mailboxes page, this is the mail server from which you wish to retrieve your email messages. This will be a domain name or IP address (e.g. mail.company.com, myisp.com, 127.0.0.1, etc.).

POP User
On the Mailboxes page, this is your account name/login ID on the POP server from which you will be retrieving your mail.

POP Pass
On the Mailboxes page, type into this box the password of the account on the POP server from which you will be retrieving your mail.

Port Number
On the Mailboxes page, you can use this control for specifying the port on which WorldClient will retrieve your mail from the POP server that you have designated above.

In most cases you should leave this control on the default setting of 110. Before changing this control to a nonstandard setting, you should make sure that it is necessary for you to do so. An incorrect port setting will cause you to be unable to collect mail from your POP server. Check with the mail administrator of the POP server from which you are trying to collect mail if there is some question about this setting.

Active
On the Mailboxes page in Options, click the Yes or No button to turn on/off mail checking for this POP mailbox. When you have clicked No and made mail checking inactive, WorldClient will still retain all of the information for this POP mailbox. Click Yes when you wish to begin retrieving mail again from this POP mailbox.

Delete
On the Mailboxes page in Options, this drop-down list box is used for controlling when WorldClient will delete the messages from your POP mailbox on the POP server above. The Delete control has three options to choose from:

• Leave on Server - When this option is chosen, messages will not be deleted from the server from which they were collected. This feature is useful if you wish to leave mail in this POP mailbox so that it can be collected at a later time with another client.

• When Emptying Trash - This option will cause messages to be left on the server until you delete them from the Trash folder. When you delete a message from your Trash folder, WorldClient will delete the message from the POP mailbox. This feature is also useful for leaving messages on a server so that they can be collected at a later time with another mail client. However, the difference between this feature and the Leave on Server control above is that you have the option to delete messages if you choose to do so.

  Note: Your account may have a size limitation placed on it which would cause your Trash folder to be automatically emptied when the limit is reached. Your account may also be set to automatically empty the Trash folder when you log out. This setting is located in Preferences.

• When Retrieved - Choose this option if you want messages to be deleted from the POP server at the time that they are retrieved.

In order to speed up mail collection, WorldClient will leave messages exceeding a certain size limit on the POP server until your read them. These messages will still appear on the Message Listing, but will not be actually retrieved until you attempt to read them. If you have chosen the When Retrieved option above, these messages will not be deleted until you have read them, or deleted them from the Trash folder.

Color
When you have set up WorldClient to collect mail from multiple mailboxes (on the Mailboxes page in Options), the messages will be displayed on the Message Listingin rows with differing background colors. This control is for assigning your desired color to each POP mailbox. You may assign the same color to more than one POP mailbox. Click the option button inside the color of your choice and then click Finished.
