• Username: The username of your email account, which is the email address basically. For example, username@domain.com
• Security: The password of your email account
• Storage Space: The total disk space that the email account is allowed to use from your total hosting accounts disk space.
• Create Folders for Plus Addressing: Basically, creates a new folder if the email address is addressed with a “+”. For example, an email sent to username+tom@domain.com will open a folder under “Tom” within the email account. We would recommend keeping this enabled.
