Using email clients with a NetManager
A NetManager is a full SMTP/POP3/IMAP mail server and its webmail module is an IMAP mail client. However, you can access your email using any mail client ou wish. We recommend you use IMAP instead of POP3 as then your email will remain on the server. This means you can use multiple clients depending on where you are (e.g. Thunderbird on your normal workstation, Outlook from a different Office and webmail when at home), plus your mail can be centrally backed up (with POP3 the mail is stored on your client; if that crashes you may lose all your email).
Using the NetManager as a network master for your UPS
When connected to an APC UPS, the NetManager can act as a network master allowing other computers
connected to the same UPS to see its status and shut themselves down cleanly in the event of power
failure (obviously the network switch between the servers must also be connected to the UPS so that
the machines can still communicate when the power has failed).
