Regarding the ‘Delivery’ section. By default, email messages are kept on our server for 14 days, after which they are deleted. We recommend that you uncheck the ‘Remove from server after’ checkbox. This will tell our server to keep a backup of your email messages.
By leaving the email messages on our server, you will have a backup of those emails with us. If for any reason you lose your local copy of your emails, you will be able to restore them from our backup. If for some reason you don’t want us to keep a copy of your emails, check the appropriate options in the delivery section. Remember, if you delete messages off of our server, we will not be able to restore those messages should you need them. Make sure you take appropriate action to backup your data.
Click ‘OK’ to exit
Click ‘Finish’ to test the connection and exit setup.
