IMAP Mailbox

Email Anywhere, Anytime!

IMAP is email for the power user. It's ideal for individuals who need to be able to get to their email from literally anywhere, and for small businesses who want a mailserver but don't have the expertise to run one. Your mail is always accessible and regularly backed up.

How it works

You decide how many mailboxes you want and what addresses they should have. The address(es) can either be in our @level7.net.au domain, or you can have them in your own domain.

As each message arrives on our server it is scanned for viruses and spam, and if found to be "clean" it is placed in your mailbox. You then use your preferred email client to log into our server to access your mail. Each message is retained on our mailserver until you explicitly delete it. (However a "fair use" policy applies, and we may deem it necessary to take action to limit the amount of mail stored by us.)

What happens to viruses?

When we find a virus-infected mail message we will replace the infected part by a short piece of text like this one:

File: openme.doc
has been removed from this email message because it was found to
contain a copy of the 'Mal/FakeVirPk-A' computer virus.

The modified message is then either delivered, or put into the spam quarantine, or simply discarded.

What happens to spam?

If the PreciseMail Anti-Spam software determines that a message is in fact spam it stores it in a "quarantine" area. Up to 3 times a day, PreciseMail sends all users a mail message to notify them of spam which has been quarantined since the last notification message. Your users can then retrieve any message they think has been incorrectly quarantined, or simply ignore them.
