5. Select the Enable e-mail scanning checkbox, then select the checkbox
that corresponds to the type of e-mail client you use. Your choices are:
• Internet e-mail clients. Select this checkbox if you use a Post Office
Protocol (POP-3) or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail
client that sends and receives standard Internet mail directly or
through a dial-up connection. If you send and receive e-mail from
home and use Netscape Mail, America Online, or such popular
clients as Qualcomm's Eudora or Microsoft's Outlook Express, be
sure to select this option.
• Enable Corporate Mail. Select this checkbox if you use a
proprietary e-mail system at work or in a networked environment.
Most such systems use a central network server to receive and
distribute mail that individual users send to each other from client
applications. Such systems might send and receive mail from
outside the network or from the Internet, but they usually do so
through a "gateway" application run from the server.
The E-Mail Scan module supports corporate e-mail systems that fall
into two general categories:
– Lotus cc:Mail. Select this button if you use cc:Mail versions 6.x
and later, which use a proprietary Lotus protocol for sending
and receiving mail.
– MAPI-compliant e-mail client. Select this button if you use
Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook, as your corporate
e-mail system.
Specify which e-mail system you use, then click Next> to continue.
Š
NOTE: If you use both types of mail systems, select both
checkboxes. Note that the E-Mail Scan module supports only
one type of corporate e-mail system at a time, however. If you
need to verify which e-mail system your office uses, check with
your network administrator.
Be sure to distinguish between Microsoft Outlook and
Microsoft Outlook Express. Although the two programs share
similar names, Outlook 97 and Outlook 98 are MAPI-
compliant corporate e-mail systems, while Outlook Express
sends and receives e-mail through the POP-3 and SMTP
protocols. To learn more about these programs, consult your
Microsoft documentation.
