Gate-and-Way
messages in your power !

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.

  1. Open Outlook Express

  2. Click on Tools ->Account

  3. Click on Add -> E-mail

  4. Insert the user's name and click Next

  5. 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

  6. click Next

  7. 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

  8. Click Next

  9. 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.

  10. Click Next, then click End

  11. Now your new account is shown in the Internet Accounts listbox.
    Be sure it is selected, then click on Properties

  12. Name it Gate-and-Way shared folders and deselect Include the account for messages's reception or sincronization

  13. Click on the IMAP tab and deselect Create special folders on the imap server

  14. Apply your changes and close the Internet Accounts listbox.

  15. At the Download folders by the added mail server prompt click Yes , then click OK.

Now you can browse the Gate-and-Way shared folders, add new folders to the account and move mail inside them. To have the updated list of folders in the account you can right-click on Gate-and-Way shared folders and click on Refresh list.
