Sending Tab.

This tab contains controls to modify the way HotApoc sends mail through Hotmail.

Save sent mail in "Sent Items" folder.

If this option is checked, then every time you send a message through Hotmail the message will be added to the "Sent Items" folder in your Hotmail account.
This means that if you log on to Hotmail using a web browser (e.g. Netscape/Internet Explorer) the message will appear there.
This is a way to access sent messages when you are away from your computer.
Normally sent messages will appear in the "Sent Items" folder of your e-mail program as well, so you should only use this if you want to access these items from a different computer.
Messages in the Sent Items folder do take up space in your account so you might want to leave this option off, especially if you are sending large e-mails or attachments.

Listen on port:

In order for HotApoc to act as a server, it must open a port for your e-mail program to connect to.
This box allows you to change what port HotApoc will listen to.
The default value is port 25. Unless this port conflicts with another port it is recommended that you leave it at 25.

When HotApoc starts up for the first time it will search for an open port starting with port 25.
After that, each time you open HotApoc it will try to reopen the last port it was told to use.
If for any reason it cannot open the requested port it will warn you.
If you have ZoneAlarm or some other personal firewall installed you must allow HotApoc to act as a server by granting it access to port 25.
If you are using Windows XP is recommended that you re-enable port 25 which is blocked by default.

Do not accept connections from other computers.

If this option is checked then HotApoc will not accept connections from any computer but your own.
Normally there is no need for anyone else to use your copy of HotApoc to send mail through Hotmail. It is therefor recommended that you leave this option checked.
