Email accounts are added with default parameters. For each added email account, you can configure:

  • email downloading parameters;

  • email signatures.

Note. If you have configured the synchronization with the MX Exchange mailbox, the Meetings and tasks and Contacts tabs will be displayed at the email account settings page. Here you can configure parameters of synchronization of MS Exchange calendar and contacts. Read more >>> 

You can go to the mailbox settings directly from the mailbox registration notification or by selecting the account in the Edit email accounts menu of the btn_com_roles_actions_menu.png button.
