This tab contains controls to modify the way Webmail Retriever for msn retrieves mail from msn.

Mark downloaded mail as read in your msn account.

If this option is checked then every time you download a message from msn the message will be marked as read.
This means that if you log on to msn using a web browser (e.g. Netscape/Internet Explorer) the message will appear as if you had read it normally.
This will not delete the message, it will just mark it as having been read.

Only download unread mail.

If this option is checked, then only mail that has not been marked as read will be downloaded.
This means that if you log on to msn using a web browser (e.g. Netscape/Internet Explorer) and read a message Webmail Retriever for msn will not download it into your Inbox.

Listen on port:

In order for Webmail Retriever for msn to act as a server, it must open a port for your email program to connect to.
This box allows you to change what port Webmail Retriever for msn will listen to.
The default value is port 110. Unless this port conflicts with another port it is recommended that you leave it at 110.

When Webmail Retriever for msn starts up for the first time it will search for an open port starting with port 110.
After that, each time you open Webmail Retriever for msn 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 Webmail Retriever for msn to act as a server by granting it access to port 110

Do not accept connections from other computers.

If this option is checked then Webmail Retriever for msn will not accept connections from any computer but your own.
Normally there is no need for anyone else to use your copy of Webmail Retriever for msn to access msn. It is therefor recommended that you leave this option checked.

Retrieve mail from Junk Mail folder.

If this option is checked then Webmail Retriever for msn will retrieve mail from msn's junkmail folder.
This is the folder where msn puts mail that it thinks is spam.
Note: If you do not see this option in Webmail Retriever for msn you should upgrade to the latest version here.
