Working With Settings for Incoming Mail
You can change settings that affect mail coming to users of your mail service, including
mail your users receive from one another. The mail service has settings for limiting incoming
message size, deleting incoming messages automatically, and notifying users who have
new mail.
Limiting Incoming Message Size
You can set a maximum size for incoming messages. The default is 10,240 kilobytes (10
megabytes).
To set a maximum incoming message size:
1 In Server Settings, click the Internet tab.
2 Click Mail Service and choose Configure Mail Service.
3 Click the Messages tab.
4 Select Message Size and type the number of kilobytes you want to set as the limit.
5 Click Save.
Deleting Email Automatically
You can have your mail service delete incoming messages automatically after a specified
period of time. You may want to set these options if disk space is limited on your server.
To delete incoming mail automatically:
1 In Server Settings, click the Internet tab.
2 Click Mail Service and choose Configure Mail Service.
3 Click the Messages tab.
4 Select Automatic Mail Deletion and enter the number of days in the fields for unread and
read mail.
Disable either setting by leaving it blank (don’t enter a number of days). Disable all automatic
mail deletion by deselecting Automatic Mail Deletion.
Warning Automatic mail deletion permanently removes mail from the server, including
messages in IMAP folders.
