Is there any limit on the size of messages and attached files that I can send and receive?
S-Mail® does not limit the size of the outgoing messages. This size is
limited by the receiver's box requirements only. However, if the size of a message with the attached files exceeds the
volume of your box it will not be saved in the "Sent" folder.
Also, you will not be able to receive any messages whose size (text of a letter plus attached file) together with other letters in your box, exceeds the allowed volume. In order to avoid this we advise you to regularly clear all unnecessary messages from your box.

How can I prevent my box from being over quota?
Do not forget to delete unnecessary letters and keep an eye on your "Trash" folder. You can delete a
specific message or a group of messages, or just clear the "Trash" folder completely by pressing the "clear"
link on the right of the "Trash" folder in your S-Mail web-interface.

This option adds email addresses of your respondents to your Black List or White List.
To add the address to the lists:
1) Press on the line of the message which email address you want to add to the Black or White List.
2) Press "Add to" in your inbox upper menu; a new window will appear where you can choose the list.

Attention! To enable the lists, you need to press "Options" in the upper menu of your
S-Mail web-interface and follow the instructions. Make sure you do not enable both White and Black Lists at the same time - in this case you will not be able to receive a single message!

Can I receive HTML-letters?
Yes, you can. But for security reasons every message which contains HTML data is automatically converted into an attached file.
After that you can open it as a common attached file.
It is done in this way because HTML messages running in the HTML
native environment (web-based interface) are potentially harmful - they may contain a virus or malicious code to be executed while
opening a message.

Why do HTML-messages become attachments?
In S-Mail all email messages are encrypted and thus cannot be checked for viruses and malicious content.
In order to keep our service as secure as possible, we need to convert all HTML messages
(excluding links and email addresses) into attachments. This prevents your system from automatically running malicious code
inside an HTML file.

I cannot receive letters from some email services, for instance Yahoo.com. What could be wrong?
Unfortunately, several email services, for example Yahoo.com, do not try to block spam within their service. Therefore,
with our anti-spam system on, some letters sent from these services cannot be received by S-Mail users. If you want to receive
letters from one of these services, such as Yahoo.com, then you will need to turn our service's RBL anti-spam filter off.

How can I change my name in outgoing messages?
Please choose "Options" - "Personal information" in the upper menu of your secure web mail interface.
Enter the proper information in the appropriate
fields (First name, Last name), and it will be indicated in the "From:" field of all your outgoing messages. Always press the
"Save Changes" button after editing your "Options".

How can I delete my S-Mail account?
