About

• Check that you're using the latest version.

General

• How to display email list: Since V10 we changed the way the list of messages is displayed, it keeps it like an history and no more like a mirror of your inbox.
• Show message preview in HTML: If you click in the message list 'View message', it will display your message in text format or HTML format, for security reason the default settings is in TEXT mode.
• Show tip: Display some tip but it takes space on screen.
  
  
• Notifications: Choose what happens when new emails arrive: play a sound, show a discreet message, and keep it on screen until you click it.
  
  
• Language: Change the language of the application. The application will restart automatically when you valid.

Attachments

Control which attachments are processed and how.

• Overwrite files with the same name: An email can receive attachment with same filename.
• Process attachments in the order they appear in the email: By default the attachments are processed the alphabetical order, in some cases you want to process attachement in the order they are added in the email, in this case a number is added in the filename.
• Size limit: Set the maximum size in kb of attachments to process, this is used to exclude large file.
• File type permissions: Choose which file types are processed. For security reasons, a new file type is turned off by default until you confirm it.
• Some malformed emails contain...: Some attachments can be embedded inside the email body but have to be processed like a classic attachment, enter it the type.
  
  
• Process attachments embedded inside PDF files: If you want to process file attached inside a PDF like a classic email attachment.
• Disable Office macros: For security reason it is much safer to not execute automatically macro.
• Use Microsoft Office: To print or convert in PDF an Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,...), the original application is the better than our internal system, but you need Office installed and it is not available in Service mode.

System

Set how Automatic Email Manager works on Windows.

• Start the Windows service automatically: Automatic Email Manager will continue to process emails even if you are unlogged from Windows, if your Windows is in sleep mode or turned off then Automatic Email Manager will not process any emails.
• Start the user interface application when Windows starts, and start minimized in the system tray (close to the Windows clock at bottom right of the screen). 
• Storage: By default the emails received are saved on local disk for process, the default folder is: C:\ProgramData\Namtuk\AEM10

Advanced

Advanced options are already set to work well in most cases. Change them only if you know what you're doing, or if technical support asks you to.

Tips

• Settings apply to the whole application. Settings in an account, a scenario, or an action apply only to that one.
