4.3.2.2 IMAP, IMAPS protocol control
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is another Internet protocol for email retrieval. IMAP has some
advantages over POP3, e.g., multiple clients can simultaneously connect to the same mailbox and maintain message
state information such as whether or not the message has been read, replied to or deleted. ESET Endpoint Security
provides protection for this protocol regardless of the email client used.
The protection module providing this control is automatically initiated at system startup and is then active in memory.
For the module to work correctly, please make sure it is enabled; IMAP protocol control is performed automatically with
no need for reconfigure the email client. By default, all communication on port 143 is scanned, but other
communication ports can be added if necessary. Multiple port numbers must be delimited by a comma.
Encrypted communication will be not scanned. To enable the scanning of encrypted communication and view the
scanner setup, navigate to SSL protocol checking in Advanced setup section, click Web and email > Protocol filtering
> SSL and enable the Always scan SSL protocol option.
4.3.2.3 Integration with email clients
Integration of ESET Endpoint Security with email clients increases the level of active protection against malicious code in
email messages. If your email client is supported, this integration can be enabled in ESET Endpoint Security. If
integration is activated, the ESET Endpoint Security toolbar is inserted directly into the email client, allowing for more
efficient email protection. The integration settings are available through Setup > Enter advanced setup... > Web and
email > Email client protection > Email client integration.
Email clients that are currently supported include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live
Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. For a complete list of supported email clients and their versions, refer to the following
ESET Knowledgebase article.
Select the checkbox next to Disable checking upon inbox content change if you are experiencing a system slowdown
when working with your email client. Such a situation may take place when downloading email from the Kerio Outlook
Connector Store.
