PolarisMail offers customers the option to use the domain below for their e-mail accounts, if they don't have their own domain yet:

{anchor:DailySendLimit}

h5. How many e-mails can I send per day and what size ?{anchor}

PolarisMail enforces a limit of 300 e-mails per day and up to 36 megabytes per e-mail. The primary reason is to limit the potential damage caused by computers infected with spam-sending trojans. After 300 e-mails have been sent from your account, you will receive the following error message when attempting to send further messages:

{code}462 Daily send limit reached. Please try again tomorrow{code}

If you need to send more than 300 messages per day as part of your regular operation, please contact us at : *[support@polarismail.com|mailto:support@polarismail.com]*

In the [user control panel|Support:User Features - How To], option *Track Deliveries*, you are able to see how many messages the account has sent out in the last 24h.

Then, click on the *Identity xxx* text, where xxx is the e-mail account for which you wish to add a signature. Finally, click on the *Signature* tab, where you can setup your signature and embed an image (mountain icons to upload). Images should be in small proportion (ex: 150x48) and size (ex: 40 KBytes). When uploading images, prefer to upload an image rather than specifying an absolute link, to avoid the image being blocked by many recipients.

h5. How to sign and cryptograph e-mails digitally in Enhanced WebMail ?{anchor}

After accessing Group Office WebMail, on the black background bar, click on *Address Book> Administration (below, in the blue background bar) > Addresslists*.

First of all, please open a ticket so that we can enable the possibility to sign and cryptograph e-mails for your domain.

Choose a vendor that sells S/MIME certificates. In this example, we will use the free [StartCom|https://www.startssl.com/?app=12], which does not diplay information about your or your company in the free certificates.

Or the StartCom site, click on *Sign-up* and complete the process. When request, choose security level High.

During the process, install the certificate in your Firefox browser.

After the certificate has been installed to Firefox, access *Options > Advanced > Certificates > Certificates button > Personal tab* and click on the *Export button*. You will need to type in a password for your exported .p12 certificate.

In Group Office Webmail, access *E-mail > Administration > Accounts > double click on your e-mail account > S/MIME settings tab* and click on the *Select new PCKS12 certificate button*, then upload your certificate which you exported from Firefox.

In the *Group-Office password field*, type in your e-mail account's password. You can choose *always sign e-mails digitally*, by enabling the respective checkbox or simply use the feature only when needed.

You can choose always sign e-mails digitally, by enabling the respective checkbox or simply use the feature only when needed.
click on *OK* and then *Close*.

When sending a new e-mail, click on the *Extra options* button/drop down menu, where you can choose to *Sign or Encrypt with SMIME*.

Ideal is to first send a digitally signed e-mail, so that the recipient can obtain your public certificate and add it to his address book. If you've received a digitally signed e-mail, webmail automatically saves the sender's public certificate in your contacts for that person, so that you can receive cryptographed emails from him.

h5. How to backup my email account ?{anchor}

For the Windows platform, we recommend [IMAP SizeMailstore|httphttps://www.brooblesmailstore.com/imapsize/], which lets you easily backup yourmultiple IMAP account and even search in multiple folders at onceaccounts.

Other e-mail clients, such as Thunderbird, have features or plug-ins that also allow backup of an IMAP account.

{anchor:aptn}

h5. Do you support Apple Push Notification {anchor}

Yes we do.Although iOS devices support the IMAP protocol for synchronizing e-mail messages, they don't support the IDLE command which is used on other platforms to provide push notifications to the device. Apple implemented another protocol called Apple Push Notification which is much less taxing on the device's battery and which also provides instantaneous notification when a new e-mail arrives. PolarisMail fully supports the Apple Push Notification protocol out of the box, without any configuration being required on your device. It will automatically detect our capability and use it.
