Should I "Leave Mail On Server"? You may leave your mail on the server if you have a need to.

To have mail forwarded to multiple other addresses simply visit your personal CNC located at http://www.YourDomainName.com/CNC/ (remember to replace YourDomainName.com with your own domain name). Once within the CNC click on the menu option titled Email Manager and then click on the Manage POP accounts and Aliases sub section. From here you will find the Alias Stacks setup area that will allow you to quickly & easily setup multiple forwarding accounts. Can I use Procmail? Yes. Procmail v. 3.13.1 is installed on all servers. For information, Telnet into your account and type man procmail Do you support PINE or IMAP?

You must use your VMIP- with every POP account you set up. If you decide to create Sales@yourdomain.com then your login name will be VMIP-sales |
