Hi Guys,

I am trying to setup email on an Xserver version 10.2.7.

I cant seem to find where i put the domain server details to pop the emails to my server. I csn put in the pop3 details but dont no where to put the authentification details and password.

As you can tell this is the first time i have attempted this, so would appreciate any information?

Yours desperatly,

SCIMAN

Where to put the password? For that you need to set up each user with the Workgroup Manager app and set each persons login and password. Aaaand... to turn on POP3, go into Server Settings app, click on the Internet Tab, then from Mail Service select Configure Mail Service. Then click Protocols, and you can check POP to turn it on, and click options to turn on Authentication. Is that what you mean?

Hi Guys thanks for the info. Still struggling unfortunately.

Cant figure out how i can it so that I get in coming pop mail to the server and then distribute it to clients on the network.
The mail needs to stay on the server and just be accessed by the clients, this is so we can back up the mail. If anyone knows where or can give me A detailed explanation on how to do this would really help me out as this is the first time I have had to set up mail on an apple Mac server.

yours now desperately,

Have you set up the MX Records properly?

One thing though -- you should REALLY REALLY consider upgrading to 10.3. The Mail server in 10.3 is about 400,000 times better than AMS in 10.2. It's not even close. If you're setting up a new mail service now, it's not even a question.
