Additional tips

• Make sure to configure the mail-only Synergy server to only allow access to the mail client or application you want to use.
• You can also use a VPN or a secure connection to encrypt the communication between the mail-only Synergy server and the main Synergy client.
• If you're using a cloud-based Synergy service, you may need to check with the service provider for specific instructions on how to add mail-only access.

By following these steps, you should be able to add mail-only access to Synergy and keep your mail client or application secure and separate from your main Synergy setup.
