In this dialog, you can specify where and when GFI MailEssentials should dial up to pick up email. You must specify a dial-up networking profile and specify a login name and password, as well as a schedule stating when the mail should be sent/ picked up. The dial-up networking profiles are setup from RAS. The following options are available:

Use this Dial-Up Networking profile: Choose the Dial-up Networking profile you wish to use from the drop down list.

If not connected dial: If you tick this option GFI MailEssentials will only dial-up if there is no connection.

User name: Enter the user name used to logon to your ISP.

Password: Enter the password used to logon to your ISP.

Process only when already connected: If you tick this option, GFI MailEssentials will only process mail if a connection already exists.

Dial on demand router: If you have an internet connection that gets automatically established, such as a dial on demand router, select this option. This will prompt GFI MailEssentials to pick up mail at the specified interval, but without triggering a dial-up connection.

Process every .. minutes: Enter the interval at which GFI MailEssentials must either dial-up or check if a connection already exists (depends on whether you set GFI MailEssentials to dial-up or to only process mail when already connected).
