Add button

Some mail systems allow for the addition of non-system, or external domains. Sometimes, you might do this to add external domains to the mail system address book. However, the mail system cannot pull up e-mail from these domains and you may want to tell Retain to ignore references to these external domains to avoid wasting time during data collection.

Specify these domains in this window.
