A mail account must be configured with the account's server information and mail account information, for example, user name and password. Rules and conditions are applied to these configured mail accounts.
Note:
The Mailbox Importer Service must be running prior to adding a mail account.
The following are considerations when creating a mail account:

-
The same email address can be configured multiple times, but only if a different user name is provided for each connection.
See the following sections based on the type of account you need to create:
