Configuring Kerio Connect Client

Author: Vladyslav Velychko Updated

Overview

In Kerio Connect Client and Webmail, you can configure various settings such as Email signature, specific Reply-To and From email address, the number of messages to be displayed, emails to be marked as read after the time interval, language interface and timezone, user password and store quota, etc.

The special Reply-To and default (primary) From address can be useful when multiple email accounts are configured or in case of user aliases and forwarding setup.

 

 

Configuring the Email Signature

 

In Kerio Connect Client, you can create a signature block that is automatically appended to every message you write.

  1. Click Tools > Settings (in Windows Client), or Kerio Connect > Settings (in Mac Client), or your name > Settings (in Web Client).
  2. Go to Email > Signature.
  3. Type whatever text you want at the end of your messages. You can also use HTML code instead of plain text. The maximum length of the signature is 4095 ASCII characters.

    NOTE: New in Kerio Connect 9.1! You can insert images directly in your signature. Kerio Connect Client displays the images in their original size.

  4. Click Save at the bottom.

    NOTE: If you reply to a message, Kerio Connect Client places your signature directly under your reply.

Displaying Account Quotas

 

If you receive messages with large attachments or have a substantial amount of contacts, you may soon use up the quotas assigned for your account.

The limitations include:

  • Space available for your messages.
  • The number of items allowed.

To display the amount of available space:

  1. Click Tools > Settings (in Windows Client), or Kerio Connect > Settings (in Mac Client), or your name > Settings (in Web Client).
  2. Go to the My Quota section.
    • There you can see how much space your account is currently using, how many items you have, and what your limitations are.

What to Do When Your Quota Fills Up

 

You will not be able to receive new messages if you reach any of the limits set for your account. 

 

Once you reach 90% of a quota, a warning message is displayed in the top bar of Kerio Connect Client.

To solve this problem, we recommend the following:

  • Delete any unneeded messages in the Sent and Trash folders.
  • Delete any other messages you do not need, especially ones with large attachments.
  • Ask your administrator to turn on the automatic items clean-out. This automatically deletes old messages and messages from the trash.
  • Ask your administrator to add some space for your account.
