Single Internet Account: Lexicon Mail requires only 1 internet account per location. You may use the email service provided by your ISP to receive mail for everyone in your organization. If you have a domain name registered, you may also use the POP3 account given to you by your web hosting provider. If you have already registered your domain name but are not ready to host your site as yet, you may use the services of a web forwarding service to receive mail at your domain. The web forwarding service forwards all email received at your domain to your ISPs email account, from where Lexicon Mail picks up the mail and distributes it on the network.

E-Mail Aliases: Consider this scenario- John is the sales manager of your company. His email address is john@yourcompany.com . You also want John to receive all emails sent to sales@yourcompany.com. For this, you can set sales@yourcompany.com as an alias email address for John. Once this is done, John will receive all mail sent to john@yourcompany.com as well as sales@yourcompany.com

Unlimited Incoming POP3 accounts: Lexicon Mail can receive mail from multiple incoming POP3 accounts. A POP3 account is your mailbox on the internet where your mail is received and stored until Lexicon Mail picks it up. You may have a POP3 email account given to you by your ISP. You may also have one (or more) given to you by your Web hosting service. This happens mostly if you receive mail from multiple domains. In such cases, you can define more than 1 POP3 mail account from where Lexicon Mail should pick up your mail.

Scheduled Dialing: Lexicon Mail automatically dials the internet, sends and receives mail and then disconnects the internet connection. This is a totally unmanned operation. Users can set the dialing schedule according to their convenience. In most organizations where Lexicon Mail is not deployed, one person is given the responsibility to connect to the internet, send and receive mail for everybody. If urgent messages are to be sent, the administrator can initiate a demand dial and connect to the internet immediately.

Intranet Mail Server: Lexicon Mail also doubles up as in Intranet (Internal) mail server. Messages to internal users are transferred internally, without being routed through the internet.
