E-mail settings

The e-mail retrieval mode can be set to standard (for dedicated Internet connections), ETRN (recommended for dialup connections), or multi-drop (for dialup connections if ETRN is not supported by your Internet provider). Note that multi-drop mode is the only option available when the server is configured in private server and gateway mode.

ETRN or multi-drop settings

For ETRN or multi-drop, specify the hostname or IP address of your secondary mail server. (If using the standard e-mail setup, this field can be left blank.)

Secondary mail server

For ETRN or multi-drop, you can control how frequently this server contacts your secondary e-mail server to fetch e-mail. More frequent connections mean that you receive your e-mail more quickly, but also cause Internet requests to be sent more often, possibly increasing your phone and Internet charges.
