Advanced Settings Tab

If you are using an SMTP enabled email account with Webvault then it is recommended that you change the Outgoing Server (SMTP) port on the Advanced tab from the default 25 to 366. This will allow you to bypass firewall restrictions that most internet access providers impose on connections to remote mail servers. If you are using your ISPs default outgoing email server setting, then you should NOT adjust the settings on this page.

You can also download your email from Webvault servers using secure SSL encryption by ticking the This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) checkbox under the POP3 section.

If you have an SMTP enabled email account with Webvault, you can also use the secure TLS encryption option under the Outgoing Server settings on the advanced tab.
