Setting up the Gateway Machine
Next, the gateway machine must be set up with two profiles. One of the profiles should be called INTERNET. The other profile must be set as the computer's default MS Exchange profile. It may be called anything. For clarity, it makes sense to create a new profile called WIG. Whatever you call the profile (we strongly recommend WIG) it should be set as the default MS Exchange profile. You can set it as the default profile by selecting the profile from the drop down list at the bottom of the General tab.
Creating the WIG profile
You can add MS Exchange profiles by selecting Mail and Fax from Control Panel and press the Show Profiles button. The MS Exchange profiles dialog box will appear.

Press the Add button. The Inbox Setup Wizard will appear. Select Manually configure information services. Press the Next button.

Specify the name WIG for this profile. Then press the next button.

When you press the Next button the WIG Properties dialog box will appear. Press the Add button and select the Workgroup Internet Gateway service from the list of services.
WIG profile properties
When you select the Workgroup Internet Gateway service, the Internet Gateway settings dialog box will appear. Select the 16-bit Internet gateway user than you created earlier.
Internet Gateway Settings
Specify all your gateway options in the other tabs as described earlier in this manual. Now, since you have selected an MS Mail gateway user, you will have access to the option in the MS Mail tab of the Internet Gateway Settings dialog box.
MS Mail tab
Check the Check the MAPI database every check box and specify a period representing how often WIG will check for messages sent by MS Mail users.
Next, you must add the Microsoft Mail service to the WIG profile.
Adding the Microsoft Mail service
When you add this service the Microsoft Mail dialog box will appear. Go to the logon tab and enter the mailbox name as INTERNET. Leave the password field blank.
Creating the INTERNET profile
The final stage is to add the INTERNET profile. This is the same process as adding the WIG profile, except the Workgroup Internet Gateway service must not be added to this profile. Instead, the Microsoft Mail service should be added, just as you added the Microsoft Mail service to the WIG profile. Remember to go to the Logon tab and specify INTERNET as the mailbox name and to leave the password field blank.
Note: You must not add the Workgroup Internet Gateway service to the INTERNET profile. If you do, unexpected results may occur.
Next you must add the Personal Folders service. This ensures that the Microsoft Mail service can temporarily store messages in the INTERNET mailbox on their way to and from MS Mail users. The INTERNET properties dialog box should be set up as below.
