In last month’s newsletter we focused on a few common issues related to email. This month’s newsletter will focus on a few different email topics related to receiving email at your domain name.

Assuming that you are using LexiConn to directly host your email, you can configure an email program using either POP or IMAP to retrieve your messages. Most people choose POP/POP3. Post Office Protocol (POP) is the most prevalent internet protocol for email retrieval. It supports simple download and delete requirements for access to your mailboxes. Most email programs have an option to leave mail on the server, but people connecting via POP typically retrieve all messages to their new mail folder, delete them from the server, then disconnect. Mail that is downloaded to your computer and deleted off the server will not count toward your mailbox or account quota.

If you need to access your box from multiple locations and/or have multiple people checking the same box, then you may wish to connect via IMAP instead of POP. The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows you to access email on a remote mail server. The messages are typically left on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. With our system, you will want to set your initial IMAP folder to ‘mail’, and be sure not to store too many messages in order to avoid quota issues.

If your account is receiving too much spam, we do offer a spam/virus protection service for $5/month, and that fee covers all of your boxes. The spam service uses a customized version of SpamAssassin, which utilizes a Bayes theorem whereby the software “learns” over time. Essentially, the more email you get (both legitimate and spam), the better the software will get at identifying spam messages.

Each user has their own specific settings, including spam threshold, blacklist, whitelist, etc. Individual users can login to the Account Manager directly and will only have access to their own specific account settings as opposed to the master user that can access all accounts. The virus protection service is updated each hour to keep current with the latest threats. If you are interested in signing up for the spam/virus protection service, you may do so at:

While the majority of our clients do opt to use email services through us, some prefer to utilize a third party service such as Google Apps. With Google Apps, you pay per user, and have a variety of features available to you. Google Apps provide you with access to Google products, but they are administered by your organization.
