This screen controls the default MDaemon Instant Messenger (MDIM) settings for new domains. Settings for specific domains can be modified via the Domain Manager's MDIM screen. MDaemon Instant Messenger services can be enabled or disabled for specific accounts or groups via the Web Services and Group Properties screens respectively.

Default MDaemon Instant Messenger

Enable MDIM (enables Webmail)

Enable this option if you wish to make MDaemon Instant Messenger available for download from within Webmail by default. Users can download it from the Options » MDaemon Instant Messenger page. The downloaded installation file will be automatically customized for each user's account to make installation and setup easier. This option also makes it possible for MDIM to use the My Mail Folders features, allowing users to check for new email and open Webmail directly from the MDIM shortcut menu. MDIM is enabled by default.

Enable instant messaging

By default, accounts can use MDIM and third-party XMPP clients to instant message other members of their domain. Clear this checkbox if you do not wish to allow instant messaging by default.

IM users see all MDaemon domains in their buddy lists

Click this option if you want your users by default to be able to add contacts to their buddy list from all of your MDaemon domains. When this option is disabled, contacts must be on the same domain. For example, if your MDaemon is hosting mail for example.com and example.org, activating this option allows users to add instant messaging contacts from both domains. Disabling it means that example.com users can only add other example.com users, and example.org can only add example.org. This option is disabled by default. There is an equivalent option on the Domain Manager for enabling or disabling this feature for specific domains.

Allow file transfers in MDaemon Instant Messenger

By default, MDIM users can transfer files to their MDIM contacts. Clear this checkbox if you do not wish to allow MDIM to be used to transfer files.

IM reminders are sent 'From:'

When an appointment is scheduled on a user's Webmail calendar, the event can be set to send a reminder to the user at a specified time. If the IM system is active for the user's domain then the reminder will be sent in an instant message to the user. Use this text box to specify the name that you wish the message to appear to be 'From:'. This is the default setting for new domains. You can change it for specific domains via the Domain Manager's MDaemon Instant Messenger screen.
