.5 Extensions of the mailbox in CoMa Professional

We received a large number of requests for extension to the mailbox of CoMa which threatened to burst the size of a mini-mailbox as well. We also thought that the new functions would only be useful for a number of customers. Unfortunately the worldwide rule for this is, exclusive service costs exclusive money, and we are not a charity!

What does one get for ones money with CoMa Professional?

You can create unlimited access allowances secured by passwords. A separate folder (area) can be defined for each client. Several clients can use the same folder as well, if you wish to do so.

The folder of clients can contain several sub-folders. Higher levels in the computer cannot be accessed.

Creating a folder sturcture

All folders for your clients or friends have to be located on the hard disk in the directory "Friends Download" marked in the dialogue box "preferences mailbox".

Only the supervisor has access to areas outside this folder. We have called the folder "Friends" in the displayed example.

You can create a sub-folder for every client in the folder friends and only this client will have access via his password. The sub-folder for the clients can contain unlimited folders again.

Define password and folder for clients

First you have to enter the name of the client in the number list. Surname<christian name, so that the name can be sorted alphabetically.

Click on "Insert" and the name will be entered.

Open the window "Number" and activate the new entry with a click of the mouse key.

Select the entry "Edit entry" in the pull-down-menu "numbers".

You will receive the shown dialogue box. You can add a remark to the entry and associate a group, you also have the possibility to add the password and the folder to which this client has access.

You have to create the folder from the desk top first unless you have got the possibility of a modern file selection box which offers this function.

The greetings entered under "salutations" are displayed to the caller after login and recognition of the password.

All files entered by the client will end up in the folder defined in the field "Upload" under "Preferences Mailbox". 

An example for the folder structure:

Here you see the structure of a folder for the client SOFTBEAR. After login with the password the caller will see three folders, orders, news and programme, after entering the commands "dir" or "ls".

The command "cd News" will lead him into this folder and he can see the directory with "ls" or "dir".

The command "cd Friends" leads to error message "access denied". The password of the client SOFTBEAR has no access rights for this.
