Multiple POP accounts in your email application

(Legacy ChoiceMail One only)
If you have multiple POP accounts, ChoiceMail takes over responsbility for retrieving the email from each POP account and making it available to your email application.

If you are using ChoiceMail 1.6 and you have manually configured your email application, it is important that you have only one live account in it. In other words, you should have only one account in your email application that actually checks for email from ChoiceMail One. That account should be configured to connect to ChoiceMail (see configuring MS Outlook, for example).

If you have multiple email addresses from which you send outgoing emails, (for example you wish to distinguish between personal emails and business emails), then you can continue to maintain multiple email accounts in your email application but those other accounts must never check for email from ChoiceMail One. These other incoming POP3 accounts should be set to (or remain at ) your ISP's POP3 email server instead (I.e, MAIL.MYISP.COM) rather than "LOCALHOST".

HOWEVER, the outgoing SMTP server for those other accounts can still be set to localhost so that ChoiceMail can continue to monitor all outgoing email addresses.

As of ChoiceMail One version 2.0, if you wish to protect multiple email accounts, you can (and should) have multiple accounts configured in your email application, each of which will in the format
   cmsuserid/emailAddress
where 'cmuserid' is the username you created when you first setup ChoiceMail One itself.

For example, if your ChoiceMail One username is 'george' and ChoiceMail One is protecting the following three email addresses
[email protected]
[email protected] and
[email protected]

then your email client would have three POP3 accounts configured and the username fields would be
george/[email protected]
george/[email protected]
george/[email protected]
