Mail Server Type
Mail may be received in the Sales Office inboxes from a
only available if the IMAP extension is installed on the server. Otherwise, it will default to POP3.
When the Mail Server Type is changed, the Port settings for customer and vendor mail (see below) will
automatically change to the default port for that server type. The Port settings may then be changed if
the mail server is on a non-standard Port.

Do NOT use other POP3 email clients when Sales Office is set to use IMAP!
When IMAP is used there is one very big difference in how the mail is handled. IMAP keeps the mail in
the mailbox on the mail server, while POP3 downloads the mail and stores it in the emerchant/mail
directory. The emerchant/mail directory is still used with IMAP but only to save outgoing mail. This
means that if a client-side POP3 email client such as Outlook is used to get messages from the same
mailbox, the source of messages will be removed and the messages will be blank when viewed in the
Sales Office.

The mail server must be on the same machine as AShop when using IMAP!
IMAP should not be used when the web site running AShop is not the same machine (or at least on the
same network) as the mail server. The entire email is downloaded from the mail server every time it is
opened in the Sales Office. If the mail server is on a remote server, messages could be slow loading.
When AShop is installed on the same machine as the mail server, IMAP will typically open messages
faster and it is capable of handling larger attachments than the POP3 method, which uses a PHP
extension.
