Note:You should only use the Advanced tab if you understand HTML and CSS.
2. Confirm your settings in the Preview interface and click OK.
For more information about the Image Properties interface, read the CKEditor Users Guide.
Note:If you enabled the Hotlink Protection feature and your list of enabled hotlinks excludes your primary domain account, you may not see embedded images. Add your primary domain to the URLs to allow access list to fix this problem.

This interface includes the following sections:
Toolbar — A series of buttons that quickly execute specific file browser functions.

— View more information for the selected file.
Folders pane — Organizes the folder hierarchy for easy navigation. Use the arrows to expand and collapse the different hierarchical levels.

Use this interface to identify problems with your mail-related DNS records for one or more of your domains. The system uses these records to verify that other servers can trust it as a sender.
