Windows
Mode
Windows authentication enables GFI MailEssentials to make use of the credentials of the currently logged on
user and does not provide log-off and automatic timeout of the user interface session.
Forms

automatic timeout from the user interface session. This is recommended if end users are accessing their GFI
MailEssentials user console, especially if used from public computers.
