This document provides detailed setting guidance for all applications and modules (email

portive modules and extensions.

In addition to external applications, this document also addresses the Kerio WebMail interface

which is used to access user data and email accounts via the most wide-spread web browsers,

such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari.
