Dial up Connection options

Note: These options are only relevant if you are NOT using Exchange 2000 and you are using dial up to send and receive mail.

To send and receive mails by dial-up, go to the Mail configuration node, right click and select properties. The GFI Mail configuration dialog will appear. Go to Dial up tab and tick the option 'Send and receive mails by dial-up'.

Dial-up options

In this dialog, you can specify where and when Mail essentials should dial out to pick up and send email. You must specify a dial up networking profile and specify a login name and password, as well as a schedule when the mail should be sent/ picked up. The dial up networking profiles are set up from RAS. If you are using SMTP to receive mail, you must also set the ETRN options.

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 Mail essentials will only dial up if there is no connection.

Process only when already connected: If you tick this option, Mail essentials 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 cause Mail essentials to send and receive mail at the specified interval, but without triggering a dial up connection.

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

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

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

Send outbound SMTP mails using Dial up: By default this is enabled. However if you wish outbound mails to be sent out via a different route, you can disable this.
