No, you cannot add VPOP3 licences together. If you have a 10 user licence, and you need more users, you need to upgrade to the next step (25 users in this case). You cannot buy a 5 user licence and add it to the existing 10 user licence. text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/faq:hosted_exchange_service?rev=1542192349&do=diff Hosted Exchange Service We can provide a Hosted Exchange Service if you requirements mean that you need to have an Exchange Server.

With IMAP4 your mail is stored and manipulated on the mail server. So, if you move a message from one folder to the other, the message is moved on the server. If you send a message, your mail client will (usually) put a copy into your 'Sent Items' folder. If you delete a message, it is deleted from the server, and so on. text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/faq:lost_licence_details?rev=1542192349&do=diff Lost Licence Details If you have lost your VPOP3 licence key, we will be able to find it for you, but we do have to make a nominal charge of £5.00 (+ VAT if applicable) to search for it as it is a time consuming task.

PostgreSQL is an SQL database engine. VPOP3 and PostgreSQL In VPOP3 2.x, VPOP3 uses a database engine called SQLite for its database needs. SQLite has limited locking facilities, so on busy systems we encountered problems where databases would need very frequent updates, and the lock limitations would cause the updates to take a long time. For this reason we added optional support for PostgreSQL to later versions of VPOP3 2.x. text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/faq:what_is_webmail?rev=1542192349&do=diff What is Webmail? “Webmail” is a term used to describe an email client which is accessed through a web page rather than as a standalone program.
