Note: Many of these values, especially those in Display Settings and Compose Settings, can be left at the defaults when adding a new user account, as they are better set by the user. They are included in the Add User page so you may edit them if you wish, however.

    * Username - The identifier the user uses to log into webmail.
    * Password - The corresponding password used to log into webmail.

Plus Addressing

Plus addressing is a feature of Webmail that allows you to automatically filter your incoming email without creating content filtering rules first. Plus addressing also allows users to use special email addresses if they do not want to give out their real email address. For example, if user@example.com needs to provide a valid email address to sign up for a newsletter, he can sign up for the newsletter using the address user+technewsletter@example.com. When the newsletter is delivered, it will automatically be routed to the Technewsletter folder. If the folder does not exist, it will be created automatically. Note: For plus addressing to work, it is important that the folder name appears AFTER the username, but BEFORE the domain name. So the format should be: username+foldername@domain.

    * Action - The action SmarterMail should take when a plus-addressed email is received.
          - Move to folder - If the target folder exists, the incoming message will be placed into it. If the folder does not exist, it will be created. No more than 10 folders can be auto-created in this method during a six hour period to prevent abuse.
          - Move to folder (if it exists) - If the target folder exists, the incoming message will be placed into it. Otherwise, the email will get placed in the inbox.
          - Leave in Inbox - Drops the message in to your inbox.
    * Enable plus addressing - Select this checkbox to enable plus addressing.
