Takes you to the user list so that you can add services to existing accounts or you can add new accounts. See Manage User Settings for more information.

Distribution Lists

You can create a distribution list if you want to send the same email to a list of users within your organization.
An example of this would be a distribution list called “Support”, which has the email address of support@controlpanelhowtos.com. When someone sends to that email address it will be distributed to the list of users you specify.
The “Members of this distribution list” field allows you to add/remove users within your domain from the distribution list.
The “Additional Email Alias for this list to receive email at” field allows you to add additional email addresses within your domain. This could be an address that contains your domain name but is not a user on our system, or a Public Folder that is email enabled.
The “Allow Messages to this list” field allows you to limit who can or cannot send to this list.

Using this link you are able to add and delete your company’s SharePoint site(s). From the Control Panel you only need to do the initial setup of the URL and plan type. You can find our SharePoint documentation here. If you do not find what you need there, please check the Custom Support Center for additional setup and migration information.

Spam Settings

The software employs a heuristics-based analysis of messages to determine whether the email is classified as unsolicited commercial email, spam, or legitimate email. It is capable of adapting over time, making it possible to constantly improve its ability to catch unwanted messages and prevent false positives.  Any emails caught by the server-side spam filter will not be forwarded to your mobile device.

• Spam Filtering: This is the overall setting.  If it’s set to Disabled, the “Move to Junk E-Mail folder” threshold and “Delete” threshold will not take effect.
• Move to Junk E-mail folder Threshold: The recommended setting is four.  Any emails that are rated equal to or higher than this setting will automatically be moved to the “Junk E-mail folder” in your Outlook inbox.  The lower the number is, the more emails will be caught.
• Delete Threshold: The recommended setting is eight.  Any emails rated equal to or higher than this setting will automatically be deleted and will not be able to be recovered.  The lower the number is, the more emails will be caught.  The Delete threshold number must be higher than the Move to Junk E-mail folder Threshold.

Secondary Domains

NOTE: There is an additional reoccurring charge for each domain name added.

Secondary domains are used if your company has more then one domain name. When you add a secondary domain you will then have the ability to add alias email addresses with that domain name.
