| Power button (Enable/Disable) | Green means the mailbox is on. Red means it is disabled and can't sign in. Click it to switch. |
| Red trash can (Delete) | Deletes the mailbox and all its mail. This can't be undone. |
| Arrow out of a box (Forward Email) | Forward this mailbox's mail to other addresses. See Email Pro Control Panel: Forwarding, Aliases and Extra Storage. |
| Open envelope (Email POP) | Turns POP access on (green) or off. POP is only needed by older mail apps. |
| Stacked mail (Email IMAP) | Turns IMAP access on (green) or off. Phone and computer mail apps use IMAP, so leave it on. |
