Setting Up the Mail Server for the First Time

For users to send and receive e-mail messages via TCP or AppleTalk, you need to enable mail
service for each user.

If you’re upgrading from a previous version of the AppleShare Mail Server, your users and
groups mail settings are still valid. You can skip this section and go to “Setting Up the Print
Server for the First Time” on page 59.

Note: If you want to enable mail services for a large number of users, you can create a
document containing the necessary users and groups information in any application that
supports tab-delimited text files (such as a spreadsheet application), and import it. For
instructions, see the Users and Groups section of AppleShare IP Help after completing the
remaining instructions in this manual.

To set up mail for registered users, follow these steps:

1

Click the Mail Admin button in the AppleShare IP Manager window.

Enter your name and password. Then click OK.

The Mail Server Activity window appears.

2

Click the Users & Groups List button.

3

In the Users & Groups List window, double-click the name of a user for whom you want to
enable mail.

The User window appears.

Note: If you’re installing AppleShare IP for the first time and following the instructions in
this manual, you may only have one registered user, besides yourself, in the Users & Groups
List. After you’ve created your remaining users, don’t forget to set up mail for them too.

4

If the user’s name contains spaces or special characters, make sure there is a name in the
Internet Alias text box.

For information on entering a valid Internet alias, see “Registering a User for the First Time”
on page 44.
