 Microsoft Mail Setup

IMA functions as a local user under Microsoft Mail and as such needs it's own postoffice box and inbox profile from which to send and receive local and Internet mail.  First the Mail administrator must add the user Internet to the Workgroup Postoffice. (This is done from the Control Panel and can only be performed by the user that created the postoffice.  If no postoffice exists then a new one must be created consult your windows documentation for help with this process)  Once there is a user for Internet a user profile must be set up on the system running  Internet, which must be open on the Windows 95 box that is running Internet Mail Attendant.  You will need to set this up as follows:

1. Right Click on Inbox (on the Desktop) and select properties.

2. Left Click on show profiles.

3. Left Click on add.

4. Select "Use the following Information Services".

5. De-Select everything except "Microsoft Mail", then Left Click on "Next".

6. Name the Profile Internet and Left Click on "Next".

7. Follow the prompts for adding a new profile, however use separate file names for your  Internet profile (You will want to use the same postoffice as the rest of the users in the workgroup.  If unsure of the path to the Microsoft Mail Postoffice location, consult your Network Administrator or your Microsoft Mail Documentation)

8. Upon completion you should see a Profile name Internet in the list of Mail Profiles.

9: Under the heading "When starting Microsoft Windows Messaging use this:" Left Click on the down arrow and select Internet from the List.

10. Left Click on Apply.

This should complete the necessary Microsoft Mail configurations for Internet Mail Attendant to run.  You will now wish to start the Mail Service, ensuring that it is running under the Internet profile.  If it is not select "Exit and log off" from the file menu and restart the Mail Service.

NOTE:

If the Windows 95 system that is running Internet Mail Attendant doubles as a Mail users workstation, the user will need to stop the Internet Mail Attendant service, Exit and Log Off Microsoft Mail and Log back on under his/her normal profile to obtain his/her mail. (Then reversing the process to restart the Internet Mail Attendant service.)  To insure proper filtration of mail, however, it is recommended that Internet Mail Attendant run on a system that does not also serve a users mail
