Client Mail
Configuration:
Microsoft Outlook Express on Windows
We will now configure Outlook
Express to access the Shared Mail Folders on the Gate-and-Way
server.
To access local user's mail, simply insert
the local e-mail address, username and password instead of the
shared ones in the following steps.
Local mailboxes must be opened using the Gate-and-Way Control
Panel (GWCP) on the Server before you can configure them at the
client side.
- Open Outlook Express

->Account

-> E-mail
- Insert the user's name and click Next
- Insert the e-mail address: gate-and-way@your_linux_pc_name
your_linux_pc_name is the name you chose
for the Linux server at installation time. If you don't
remember it you can browse your network neightborhood to
retreive the name, or you can insert localhost
- click Next
- Choose Server Type
= IMAP and insert your_linux_pc_name
as in the Incoming Mail Server,
as in the Outgoing Mail Server.
If you want, instead of the name, you can insert the
server IP address here, but you can't insert
localhost
- Click Next
- Insert Account Name
= gate-and-way and Password
= that one you choose for the gate-and-way user during
the Mail
Service Setup in Chapter 2.
You can also check Remember Password,
if you want.
- Click Next,
then click End

Internet Accounts listbox.
