Manager does not verify this information.

The Mail Quota field specifies the maximum number of megabytes for the user’s mailbox. A 0
or empty value means no quota is used. When the user’s message space approaches or
surpasses the mail quota you specify, mail service displays a message prompting the user to
delete unwanted messages to free up space.

The Mail Access selection identifies the protocol used for the user’s mail account: Post
Office Protocol (POP) and/or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).

The Options setting determines inbox characteristics for mail accounts that access email
using both POP and IMAP.

for IMAP mail. “Show POP Mailbox in IMAP folder list” shows an IMAP folder named POP
Inbox.

“Enable NotifyMail” lets you automatically notify the user’s mail application when new mail
arrives. The IP address to which the notification is sent can be either the last IP address from
which the user logged in or an address you specify.
